Webb Keane is the George Herbert Mead Collegiate Professor of
Anthropology at the University of Michigan. His most recent book,
Ethical Life: Its Natural and Social Histories (2015), was published
by Princeton University Press. He is also the author of Christian
Moderns: Freedom and Fetish in the Mission Encounter (2007)
and Signs of Recognition: Powers and Hazards of Representation
in an Indonesian Society (1997), based on fieldwork in Indonesia.
His scholarship covers a range of topics in social and cultural theory
and the philosophical foundations of social thought and the human
sciences. In particular, he is interested in semiotics and language;
material culture; gift exchange, commodities, and money; religion,
morality, and ethics; and media and public cultures.

The Centre for Ethnography hosts an exciting annual speakers series, international workshops, undergraduate
methods and research courses, and an annual competition for a fellowship in ethnographic writing.
People carrying out ethnographic fieldwork in the Toronto region may affiliate with the Centre for Ethnography
while in Toronto, and are welcome to attend our speakers series and other events.
