    Voyages of Ethnographic Knowledge: Circulation, Intertextuality, and Genre in The Book of Luelen — The George Washington University
    Based on textual analysis, archival research at the National Anthropological Archives, and interviews with anthropologists, linguists, and Micronesians, my thesis follows the social life of a Pohnpeian ethnographic text from its origins in 19th century oral tradition to its various handwritten, translated, published, and remembered manifestations circulating around the island and wider world today.
