A picture is worth a random academic encounter on the streets of Cusco…

A note about this picture. I normally wouldn’t be inclined to include a picture of myself here, but I have become convinced of the utility of making one’s mug available to the academic community. In 2004 while taking a course in Cusco, Perú, I was looking up a particular, non-Peruvian scholar whose work turned out to be quite useful to my own. This particular researcher had included a picture of him-/herself, which I gave only a cursory glance. After leaving the Centro Bartolomé de las Casas headed for the Plaza de Armas, who should appear around the corner but said scholar. I was, needless to say, somewhat star-struck and immediately introduced myself. This scholar was kind enough to listen to my meandering questions over a cup of mate de coca. It was a rewarding scholarly experience, at least for me. So, please feel free to approach me randomly on the street with any questions (or complaints, as the case may be); I’m always happy to talk shop.
