About

Dr. Kathryn Demps joined the faculty of the Department of Anthropology at Boise State University as a visiting professor for the 2012-2013 school year, and then joined the tenure-track faculty for 2013-2014. She received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Davis where she specialized in the study of the evolution of human behavior, focusing on human evolutionary ecology. Her work on the transmission of local ecological knowledge among a honey-collecting tribe in South India describes the cultural learning process from childhood to old age. Dr. Demps currently studies how knowledge and behavior interact with local ecologies by examining the conflict of interest between formal schooling and knowledge about the forest; economic pressures and marketing behavior; and group formation and cooperation. She is a member of the American Anthropological Association, the Human Behavior and Evolution Society, and the Ethnoecology Laboratory of the Autonomous University of Barcelona, and has served as the faculty advisor the the Boise State Sustainability Club.
