George E. Marcus

George E. Marcus is Chancellor's Professor of anthropology at the University of California, Irvine. In 2005, he established the Center for Ethnography there, dedicated to charting and reimagining the conventions of ethnographic research challenged by new forms and norms of collaboration and by the fashion for design thinking. Previously, he was chair of the anthropology department at Rice University where he participated in the production of the volumes Writing Culture and Anthropology as Cultural Critique, and the Late Editions series of annuals through the 1990s. His most recent volumes are Designs for an Anthropology of the Contemporary (with Paul Rabinow and others), and Fieldwork Is Not What It Used To Be (co-edited with James Faubion).
