Jean Jackson
Professor Jackson received her B.A. from Wellesley College
(Anthropology/Sociology, 1965), and her M.A. and Ph.D. from
Stanford University (Medical Anthropology, 1966; Anthropology,
1972). She has been at MIT since 1972. She has been examining
social and ethnic identity among indigenous populations of the
Northwest Amazon since 1968, in 1983 publishing The Fish People:
Linguistic Exogamy and Tukanoan Identity in Northwest Amazonia. A
volume co-edited with Kay Warren, Indigenous Movements,
Self-Representation and the State in Latin America, was published
in 2002.
She has also carried out research on gender, the epistemology of
ethnography, and, for the last seventeen years, chronic pain. "Camp
Pain": Talking with Chronic Pain Patients, based on NIMH-funded
research in an in-patient pain center in New England, was published
in 2000.
