Kirk Endicott

Professor Emeritus of Anthropology

Although I no longer teach or do fieldwork, I continue to read and write about hunter-gatherers and the indigenous minorities of Peninsular Malaysia (Orang Asli), often in collaboration with our former graduate students, Vivek Venkataraman and Thomas Kraft. Currently my main priority is to prepare my fieldnotes, photos, artifacts, and audio and video recordings of my research with the Batek hunter-gatherers for deposit in the Orang Asli Archive at the Mason Library at Keene State College, the only such archive in the United States. As a member of the archive Advisory Committee, I work with colleagues around the world to build the collection and organize webinars on Orang Asli topics.
