I work in the rural midwest and lower Mississippi Delta, dealing with the historical transformations of the region and the complexity of race, class, gender, ethnicity, religon, in those processes. I have always viewed the people I work with as one of my audiences. To that end, I have written my book-length works to be accessible to a broad public, written articles in local newspapers, worked with our local PBS station and other TV stations to bring my work to the region, mounted museum exhibits, and made many public presentations locally and regionally. Since 2000 I have worked with photographer D. Gorton to make videos and web sites based on our research (see links on my homepage http://www.siu.edu/~anthro/adams).
