Harvey Sarles - Anthropologist of the Ordinary

Harvey is much more than a professor of Cultural Studies & Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota. Displaced early in his academic career following the invocation of Descartes' ideas about the human "I think, therefore I am" he began to read to the foundations of thought. The power of ideas continues to astonish him. In his most recent book, "Next Places," Harvey explores points of change throughout life and "helps readers seek and define guideposts within their own experience, rather than seeking their soul or destiny in places outside of themselves." Trying to touch and inspire the future, he engages in dialogue with his students and all those interested in being and engaging the world.
