Paul Stoller He is professor emeritus of anthropology at West Chester University and a permanent faculty member at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. In his more than 35 years of anthropological research and writing, Stoller has focused on the Songhay religion in the Republic of Niger and on the lives of West African street vendors in New York City. His work spans economic anthropology, visual anthropology, and the anthropology of well-being. In his most recent work, he explores how indigenous wisdom can not only improve social well-being but also help heal a troubled world. Stoller has challenged the limitations of conventional academic writing: he promotes storytelling as a way to communicate anthropological knowledge to a broader audience. Stoller has published 16 books, including ethnographies, biographies, memoirs, and three novels. Since 2010, she has been a regular blogger on culture, politics, and higher education for The Huffington Post and Psychology Today, and has become an advocate for a more public and engaged anthropology. Since 2006, he has taught workshops on ethnographic writing in Europe, North America, and West Africa. In 2013, King Carl Gustaf of Sweden awarded him the Anders Retzius Gold Medal in recognition of his scholarly contributions to anthropology. In 2015, the American Anthropological Association awarded him the Prize for Anthropology in the Media. Among his numerous publications are the following: The Taste of Ethnographic Things: The Senses in Anthropology (1989, University of Pennsylvania Press), In Sorcery’s Shadow: A Memoir of Apprenticeship among the Songhay of Niger (1989, University of Chicago Press), Sensous Scholarship (1997, University of Pennsylvania Press), Money Has No Smell: The Africanization of New York City (2022, University of Chicago Press) and, more recently, Wisdom from the Edge: Writing Ethnography in Turbulent Times (2023, Cornell University Press).
