Luciana Chamorro
Visiting Assistant Professor, Anthropology
Sociocultural Anthropology
"I am a socio-cultural anthropologist of the Central American region and its diasporas. I write on revolution and its afterlives, authoritarian populism, and the confluences of politics with structures of desire, affect and aesthetics. My larger conceptual interests are in political theology, generational difference, political violence, and feminist and queer imaginaries of the future."

Tina Lasisi
Assistant Professor; LSA Collegiate Fellow
Biological Anthropology
"My primary focus is on understanding the diversity of human appearance, particularly hair and skin variation. My research lies at the intersection of human biology, biometric technology, dermatology, and aims to understand the broader implications of human variation across diverse populations. In my previous interdisciplinary collaborations, I have investigated the evolutionary advantages of tightly curled hair and developed standardized methodologies for studying hair curvature and cross-sectional shape. My ongoing work features strong interdisciplinary elements, bringing together experts from population genetics, computer science, dermatology, forensics, and more."
