Becky Schulthies

How do our ideas about communication shape how we relate? Dr. Schulthies' teaching and research revolve around this fundamental question: how might communicative ideologies impact social relations. Trained as a linguistic and cultural anthropologist, she has conducted fieldwork in Morocco for over twenty years, conducting research on the productive nexus of Moroccan communicative ideologies, state/transnational identity projects, media practices, and plant-human relationality. She has also trained undergraduate and graduate students in ethnographic research design, ethnographic fieldwork methods, analysis and writing, preparing them and assisting them to complete their own individual research projects. She was most recently an Associate Professor at Rutgers University and is excited to be returning to BYU.
