Nuckolls
(A.B. U of Chicago; M.A. University of Wisconsin-Madison; Ph.D. U of Chicago) is
a psychological and medical anthropologist. His primary interest is the theory
of culture, and in integrating cognitive and psychoanalytic approaches to
everyday thinking. Nuckolls has studied the relationship between gender and
psychiatric diagnosis in the United States; divination and spirit possession in
the Telugu-speaking region of south India; and the cross-cultural dimensions of
siblingship in South Asia. He is now finishing two books, one on suicide in
India, and the other on Japanese cartoons.
