Karen McCarthy Brown, a Sociologist of
Religion, is one of the foremost scholars
on Haitian religious traditions, and particularly
on the role of women in these traditions.
She is best known for her book Mama Lola,
and for her work as the Director of the
Newark Project. She therefore plays a particularly
important role in the BHLP, insofar as she
advises us both about Haitian understandings
of, and approaches to, healing, and about
broader project design based on her experience
leading a large urban ethnographic study
over an extended period. Her other important
contribution has been to add significant
theoretical sophistication to how we work
with the data we gather.
