David Clark Knowlton served as University Faculty Fellow in Ethics for the
2008-2009 academic year. The Center supported Dr. Knowlton's research in
social anthropology of the indigenous peoples of Bolivia. Dr. Knowlton will
discuss the results of his research over the last year in the University
Faculty Fellow in Ethics Keynote Address.
Dr. Knowlton has been actively involved in researching religious and social
change in Bolivia as well as the development of supranational religions.
Since his first conversations with rural Bolivians, who tutored him in their
culture, Knowlton has been concerned with the ways globalized society
impacts lesser-known areas of the world, such as Bolivia.
Recently Dr. Knowlton has published articles on the subject, including,
"Tendencies in Structural Inequalities in Child Health care in Bolivia"
(coauthors Tim Heaton and Renate Forste, in K. Cordova ed. Salud Comunitaria
en Bolivia, Cochabamba: Kipus, 2008), "Go Ye to All the World: The LDS
Church and the Organization of International Society" (Tim Heaton, Cardell
Jacobsen, and John Hofman, eds., "Revisiting the Mormons: Persistent Themes
and Contemporary Perspectives" University of Utah Press, 2008), “Hands
Raised Up: Power, and Context in Bolivian Mormonism" (Dialogue: A Journal of
Mormon Thought Winter 2007, pp. 47‑71) and "Mormonism and Guerrillas in
Bolivia" (Journal of Mormon History, 32:3:180‑208, 2007).
