Bamford
Scarborough, Ontario, Canada
I am a cultural anthropologist who specializes in the analysis of kinship and family ties. I have completed research in the highlands of Papua New Guinea among a group of people known as the Kamea. My most current research interests focus on child welfare and foster care in North America with an emphasis on how foster care is practiced in Canada.
