Michael Salovesh Ph.D., University of Chicago, 1971 Professor Salovesh is a social anthropologist in the tradition of the University of Chicago. His research has focused on social organization (both kinship and politics) and inter-group relations. His field research began with a linguistic study of dialect variation in a mixed Indian/Latino community in Chiapas, Mexico. That work gave way to a study of the Indian political system in the town, later widened to analysis of relations between that community and the surrounding Ladino town, then broadened to study of regional and national politics in Mexico. Since 1980, his ethnographic field has expanded to include all of Central America. Professor Salovesh's current major research centers on collecting life history narratives of homeless street children in Guatemala City. He also continues his long-term research on learning disabilities and Attention Deficit Disorder. He is past president of the Central States Anthropological Society and has served on the governing boards of the American Anthropological Association, the Society for Latin American Anthropology, and the Chicago Anthropological Society. With Proseeor Benjamin Keen, he was one of the founders of the Illinois Society of Latin Americanists.
