Biography

Dr. Meneley’s current project is a comparison of the production, consumption and circulation of extra-virgin olive oil from Tuscany and Palestine. She remains engaged with her first project, competitive hospitality, fashion, and politics among Yemeni women in Zabid. A side interest is the anthropology of academic practices, the conditions which affect our lives in the academy. Another side interest is the analysis of the Canadian sitcom Little Mosque on the Prairie.
