Biographical
Sketch
Linde-Laursen's
research matters range from intimate details of everyday
life such as dishwashing to discursive understandings of
what "belonging" means. Studying cultural continuity
and change he demonstrates how peoples' feelings and experiences
both shape and are shaped by the modern contexts in which
they live. Currently he studies such processes in two sites
(the ¯resund Region in Scandinavia and a small town,
Solvang, in California) where he is concerned with
how people understand themselves in relation to different
and changing groups of others as well as with how such understandings
of national and ethnic differences are practiced and carry
political implications. Linde-Laursen has authored
three books, edited five published volumes, and written
many book chapters and articles.
At VCU Linde-Laursen is a collateral
faculty member in the School of World Studies where he teaches
a variety of anthropology courses.
