Biography
Dr. Brink received her PhD and MA
in Anthropology from the University of Pittsburgh in 1985.
Dr. Brink conducted research in
Egypt during the summer of 1981, 1983-4 and the summer of
1990. She lived with a family in Abu Ruwash, a village in
Giza, and studied
the effect of education and
employment on the status of women, changes in the extended
family system due to wage labor, how women cope during long
absences of husbands who work abroad, changing child rearing
patterns and the effect on women of Islamic fundamentalism.
She has conducted extensive
research on the archeology and indigenous people of Mexico,
Guatemala, Peru and the Southwest United States. Since 1998
she has done field work in Oaxaca, Mexico on the
construction of Zapotec Indian identity, the saint’s day
celebration, engagement and wedding customs and the Day of
the Dead in two villages in the central valley.
She lives with her husband, Terry
L. Brink, in Lock Haven, Pa.
