- Research Interests:
Katherine P. Ewing, Ph.D. University of Chicago 1980, is currently investigating Turkish community and identity in Germany. Her focus is on cultural processes and individual experience in situations of inconsistency and conflict. Her areas of specialization include South Asia and the Middle East, with field research in Pakistan, Turkey and among Muslims in Europe. In her book, Arguing Sainthood (1997), she examined how the Sufi mystical tradition has been a focus of religious and political controversy in Pakistan and looked at how this controversy is articulated in individual practice. One of her articles, "The Illusion of Wholeness" (1990), earned her the Society for Psychological Anthropology's Boyer prize. Along with numerous other articles, she edited the volume Sharicat and Ambiguity in South Asian Islam (1988).
