Oneman

“Oneman” is the nom de blogue of Dustin M. Wax, currently a PhD candidate at the New School for Social Research in New York City, and an adjunct professor at the Community College of Southern Nevada (anthropology) and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (women’s studies). His research interests include the history of anthropology (particularly Cold War-era anthropology), art and communication, postmodern theory, museum studies, sex and sexuality, and the Internet as a social space. Because of this wide range of interests, he has been declared “Least Potentially Employable Anthropologist of All Time” by a jury of his peers. His dissertation (which currently exists primarily in what has been called the “anthropological imaginary”) examines the University of Chicago’s “Fox Project”, an experiment in what would come to be called action anthropology, carried out under the directorship of Sol Tax between 1948 and 1961. His other projects on the Web include One Man’s Opinion, a personal weblog (now defunct), ThinkNaughty, a research site devoted to his work on sex and sexuality in American culture, and the Anthro-L listserv homepage. His personal homepage is at dwax.org.
