Paul Kockelman

Paul Kockelman is a professor of anthropology at Yale University. His work in linguistic anthropology includes the description and ethnographic analysis of Q’eqchi’,[1] a Mayan language spoken in Guatemala. His contributions to anthropological theory have covered a wide range of themes, including agency, meaning, subjectivity, stance, and value. Much of this work has come out of a synthesis of critical theory, analytical philosophy, linguistics, political economy, and a large body of ethnographic data drawn mostly from Guatemala.[2] Kockelman has been described as "one of anthropology's last great system‐builders".[3]
