Kirk Dombrowski is co-Editor of Dialectical Anthropology, a journal founded by Stanley Diamond in the early 1970s that is dedicated to critical thought and social change. Kirk teaches undergraduate courses in political economy, religion, ecology, and general ethnology. He is also interested in research methods and how various kinds of social inequality can be mapped and understood, including the use of social networks and quantitative analyses as well as conventional ethnographic methods. Kirk’s primary fieldwork is in the circum-polar north, where he is interested in novel social structures that arise in response to large scale resource extraction projects, including timber, mining, and oil production. In the past he has worked on issues of land claims, subsistence work, and timber politics in Southeast Alaska. His current research takes place in Northern Alaska and Northern Labrador. Kirk is also a member of the doctoral faculty in the Anthropology Department at the CUNY Graduate Center, and the doctoral faculty in criminal justice here at John Jay. He teaches doctoral level courses in the history of theory and research methods.
