Education
[edit]Dawdy holds a PhD in anthropology and history and an MA in history from the University of Michigan, an MA in anthropology from the College of William and Mary and a BA in anthropology from Reed College.[1]
Research
[edit]Dawdy is 'Professor of Anthropology and of Social Sciences in the College' at the University of Chicago. Her research focuses on the Americas, with a special focus on New Orleans, from the colonial period to the post-Katrina present.[2] Her research has focused on the history of capitalism and informal economies (including piracy)[3] urban landscapes, human-object relations, and temporality (how people shape and experience the past, present, and future).[4] Her newest work examines rapidly changing death practices in the U.S., resulting in both a film (I Like Dirt. with co-director Daniel Zox) and a book, American Afterlives: Reinventing Death in the Twenty-first Century (October 2021, Princeton). She writes for both academic and general audiences.[5]
In 2010, Dawdy was named a MacArthur Fellow.[6] She has also received support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Science Foundation.[1]
