  Head of Research - PBS Television Series "Millennium: Tribal Wisdom and the Modern World"

  Millennium: Tribal Wisdom and the Modern World (1992). Research consultant (1986-87) and principal researcher (1989-91) for a ten-part documentary film series produced in Toronto by Biniman Productions, in association with Cultural Survival (Cambridge, MS), the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation, London), the PBS (Public Broadcasting System, KCET, Los Angeles), and the Global Television Network (Toronto). Hosted by Harvard anthropologist David Maybury-Lewis. A full time job I held for three years +, as part of the core production team. Principal duties: teamwork on conceptual development of the entire series; focused development of individual episodes and episode segments; intensive editorial duties on the Millennium companion book by Maybury-Lewis (New York: Viking Penuin). Duties included archival research on the photographic collections at the Alfred Tozzer anthropology library at Harvard University. Millennium has since become a classic documentary film series, a staple of university courses and educational television alike.
