Hall Department of Sociology & Anthropology DePauw University Greencastle, IN 46135-0037 TEL: 317-658-4519 FAX: 317-658-4177 (due local arrangements SLOWER than snail mail!) internet: thall@depauw.edu I was University of Oklahoma for 6 yrs, here at DePauw for 5, in the early 70s I taught at Navajo Community College--the first Native American run college in the US (there are now over 25 tribal colleges). My interests include American Indians, especially in the American Southwest, ethnicity, and world- systems. All three come together in the study of frontiers and the relations between state and nonstate societies. Books are _Social Change in the Southwest, 1350-1880 (Kansas, 1989), _Core/Periphery Relations in Precapitalist Worlds_ [with Chris Chase-Dunn] (Westview, 1991), we are currently completing _Rise & Demise: Comparing World-Systems_ (Westview). My strongest activist interst is preservation of Native Peoples. I study the past to understand the present and improve the future: a fool's errand, but lots of fun.
