Nell Haynes is an Associate Professor of Anthropology in the Department of Global Studies at Saint Mary's College. Her research addresses gender & indigeneity in Latin America. Specifically she is interested in the ways that notions of who counts as "authentically indigenous" become expressed through and troubled by popular culture and media. More broadly, her research addresses how inequalities--such as race, gender, class, sexuality, and disability--are reinforced or challenged by media, pop culture, and performance, including  a new project on AI image and music generators' impacts on the "meanings" and "values" of "art." Nell earned her Ph.D. in Anthropology at American University in 2013 with a concentration in Race, Gender, and Social Justice, and holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Northwestern University in Anthropology and Theater. Nell is author of Social Media in Northern Chile (2016), co-author of How the World Changed Social Media (2016), and co-editor of The Routledge Companion to Media Anthropology. Her forthcoming book, Chola in a Choke Hold: Reimagining Indigeneity through Bolivian Lucha Libre, will be out soon with University of Pennsylvania Press. It explores how the pop culture spectacle of lucha libre, featuring women as chola characters, reflects and contributes to current debates over the nature of indigeneity in Bolivia. Nell currently serves as book review editor for Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropoloogy, and is the treasurer of Society for Visual Anthropology.
