I’m currently studying naming practices in 7 countries on a Watson Fellowship. I’m curious how names are defined both by the individuals who bear them and their cultural and historical contexts. The process of naming a child is shaped by considerations that include religious traditions, government restrictions, family history, and cultural icons. I'm interested in how names act as microcosms for societal questions of identity on an international scale.

The important stuff is taken care of.

(Book recommendations courtesy of Philadelphia's amazing Applied Mechanics Theater Company (thanks guys!). And songs compiled from many beloved friends from many beloved mixes).
I see that "Simi and the Whale" made it onto your playlist. ;-P
