About Elizabeth Enslin
Supported by a 2009 Individual Artist Fellowship award from the Oregon Arts Commission, I’m currently working on an ethnographic memoir – Sacred Threads – about my experiences as an anthropologist and family member in Nepal. I also serve as a graduate advisor in the Master of Arts Program at Prescott College. I grew up in Seattle, received my PhD from Stanford University and now live with my partner and our standard poodle in Oregon. We divide our time between a house in Portland and a yurt in Wallowa County.
