Research Interests
Dr. Greenberg's areas of expertise lie in
political ecology, natural resource anthropology, economic anthropology,
globalization, law and development, violence, urban anthropology,
migration, household livelihoods, peasants, Latin America, and
the borderlands. Dr. Greenberg has worked in peasant and fishing
communities in Mexico, and has received numerous grants
for borderlands research. His current research includes a project
on the history of applied anthropology at the University of
Arizona. "My research broadly examines the impact of global
capital on development and on the well-being of both human populations
and the ecosystems that sustain them. Specifically, my research
looks both at the level of larger processes on the historical
development of capital, and at the local variants of capital
it has spawn. In pursuing these interests, I have focused on
credit: looking at how it is culturally embedded and used as
economic instrument, social relationship, and technology of
power. At the level of local processes, my research examines
the incorporation of local populations and local ecologies into
wider systems, and how their inclusion in them changes their
dynamics."
