Joel Kuipers is Professor of Anthropology and International Affairs at the George Washington University. He received his PhD in Anthropology from Yale University in 1982 and has carried out research on ritual speech in Java and eastern Indonesia, and on scientific discourse in middle school classrooms. He is interested in the role of language in the description and interpretation of social life, particularly how authoritative discourse shapes institutionally defined activities in clinics, courtrooms, classrooms and religious settings.
