David W. Haines
was born in the United States in 1947 but moved with his family to
Japan in 1957. His experience includes translator/interpreter and
rural development specialist in Vietnam, graduate work in Southeast
Asian Studies and Anthropology from the American University, working
for the U.S. refugee resettlement program, and university teaching.
Haines’ research interests lie in three general areas: the
structures of kinship and locality (both in the United States and in
Vietnam); the dynamics and problematics of contemporary migration;
and the processes of governance. He has published widely in all
three areas, and on the social implications of computerization, the
distinctive mode of policy seen in the state-based workers'
compensation program, the history of the U.S. refugee resettlement
program, and the anthropological research on refugees, immigrants,
and displacees. |
