ABOUT

Dr. Quave holds degrees in art history (Emory University) and anthropology (Southern Methodist University) and recently co-authored Quantitative Anthropology: A Workbook (Academic Press 2019 with Leslie Lea Williams). She has published journal articles and book chapters on her archaeological and ethnohistorical work as well as her pedagogical research on equity in teaching and learning.
Dr. Quave is currently Assistant Professor of Writing at the George Washington University, with an affiliation with the Department of Anthropology. She teaches courses focused on writing in the sciences and writing about quantification, including "Embodied Inequality: Rhetoric of Race and Racism" and "Writing Race, Measuring Marginalization".
