Anthropology prof to lecture in Sweden
March 21, 2007
Elizabeth Brusco, a professor of anthropology who specializes in cultural anthropology, has been invited to deliver two lectures in Sweden this month.
Brusco will leave for Sweden April 15. Her first stop is at Uppsala University, just outside Stockholm. Brusco will be delivering the university’s annual “Lucy Farrow Lecture,” named for a Los Angeles woman who is known as the “mother of Pentecostalism.”
Later in the week, she’ll head to Stockholm to take part in an international conference called “Religion on the Borders: New Challenges in the Academic Study of Religion” at Sodertorn University College. There, she will present a paper on a panel called “Inter- and Intra-Religious Aspects of the Global Growth of Pentecostalism.”
Brusco received her bachelor’s degree from Boston University and her doctorate from the City University of New York. She has conducted field research in Colombia, and teaches courses on Latin America, the Pacific Islands, the anthropology of religion, kinship and family, linguistics and anthropological methods. She was the founding chair of the PLU’s women’s studies program.
