E-Mail: cleone@uwc.edu

I completed my doctoral work in Anthropology at Washington State University. Subsequently, I conducted postdoctoral research at the Carolina Population Center of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My major professional interests include anthropological demography; marriage, family and kinship; and reproductive issues.

I teach General Anthropology; Cultural Anthropology; Women in Cross-Cultural Perspective; Indians of North America; Introduction to Sociology; Sociology of Marriage and the Family; American Minority Groups; and Feminism Equality and Public Policy. In 1998, I was awarded the Arthur Kaplan Fellow in the UW Colleges.

The thing I like best about teaching at UW-Manitowoc is the wide range of topics I am free to explore through my array of courses. My "repetoire" has grown over the years, so that now I teach topics that range from the evolution of Homo sapiens to the new feminism of the 1990's. And, I enjoy showing students how to make the connections among the ideas and events they study in their own array of courses.
