Linda B. Eaton, Ph.D.

Linda Eaton has two overriding passions in anthropology. The first is how cultures and their members communicate what is of greatest importance to them, what makes them who they are. She has followed that interest into the study of arts and artists, song and story, symbols and metaphor, both in the modern realm of cultural anthropology and in the murkier waters of societies we know only archaeologically. Second, she is thoroughly captivated by what made early civilizations rise and fall and what we can know of the world as they saw it. She determinedly drags along art and metaphor as tools here, as well as more conventional considerations of politics, environment, economics and religion. She follows these ideas wherever they take her, but the native cultures of the US Southwest have been her greatest teachers, followed by those of Africa and Latin America. Her courses provide venues for these voices and ideas at WSU.
