Paul Kockelman is Professor of Anthropology at Yale University. He has undertaken extensive ethnographic and linguistic fieldwork among speakers of Q'eqchi' (Maya) living in the cloud forests of Highland Guatemala, working on topics ranging from poultry husbandry and landslides to inalienable possessions and interjections. And he has long engaged in more speculative inquiry at the intersection of artificial intelligence, new media technologies, cognitive science, and critical theory. His books include: The Anthropology of Intensity, The Art of Interpretation in the Age of Computation, Mathematical Models of Meaning, and The Chicken and the Quetzal.
