Kylie Quave is an anthropological archaeologist and Assistant Professor of Writing and of Anthropology. Her research and teaching focus on social marginalization and identity in imperial and colonial contexts. This includes research on teaching and learning: she has recently published papers on teaching in the humanistic sciences as a site of anti-oppressive and anti-colonial knowledge production. Her archaeological and ethnohistoric fieldwork in the South American Andes focuses on two waves of imperialism (Inca and Spanish, ca. 1000-1800 CE) in rural highland communities. She teaches research and writing courses focused on science writing and scientific racism.
