Debra Lattanzi Shutika

I am a Folklorist, writer and ethnographer studying narrative,  communities and change. My current book project is an examination of the National Park Service Summers in the Parks Program (1968-76). I’m leading an ethnographic field school in Ireland on Achill Island.  I am also revising a novel, The Other Kate.

I am author of Beyond the Borderlands: Migration and Belonging in the United States and Mexico (2011, University of California Press), winner of the 2012 Chicago Folklore Prize

Through a collaboration with the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress I am the academic director of the Field School for Cultural Documentation, an intensive hands-on course on ethnographic research and archiving practices.
