Hi all! I am back in the US, having returned at the end of December. I kind of got super busy in my last few weeks in Yakutsk so I didn't have much time to post anything. But, I am now back, beginning to write my dissertation. I am hoping to have the dissertation finished by May of 2010. It will focus on a constellation of culture, family/gender and religion, looking at how all of these things are employed to address the economic and social ills in the present. The dissertation will be written in English and then translated into Russian. There is also a possibility that parts may be translated into Sakha language as well. I hope to make all versions, Russian, English and Sakha widely available in the US and Russia. As I write, I will try to post excerpts here--feel free to leave me questions, criticism and other feedback.

Cheers!
