Uzi Baram
Associate Professor, Anthropology
M.A., Ph.D. University of Massachusetts at Amherst
B.A. State University of New York at Binghamton
Uzi Baram is an anthropologist who teaches a wide range of archaeology and cultural anthropology courses. As a Historical Archaeologist, Professor Baram's principle area of research has been the eastern Mediterranean, where he has studied the material culture, cultural landscapes, Western travel accounts, and social identities of the Ottoman Empire. Current research on the Middle East examines the intersection of archaeology and heritage tourism. Baram has edited and contributed to A Historical Archaeology of the Ottoman Empire: Breaking New Ground (2000), Marketing Heritage: Archaeology and the Consumption of the Past (2004), and Between Art and Artifact: Approaches to Visual Representation in Historical Archaeology (2007) among other publications.
Recently Baram has contributed to a locally-based public anthropology program called Looking for Angola which employs the dual lens of archaeology and ethnography to reveal a `history from below' for a maroon community in the context of the anthropological critiques of racism and the histories of southwestern Florida.
