Don Kulick is a Professor and Research Director at the Department of Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology, Uppsala University, Sweden. His academic career spans decades of anthropological fieldwork in Papua New Guinea, Brazil, and Scandinavia, with a focus on linguistic anthropology, sexuality studies, and disability studies. Dr. Kulick's research interests encompass linguistic anthropology, sexuality studies, disability studies, language death, vulnerability studies, and human-animal communication. His work challenges conventional views on vulnerability, arguing that it can be a resource rather than a lack. His fieldwork with adults with significant disabilities in Denmark and Sweden informed his influential book "Loneliness and its Opposite: sex, disability, and the ethics of engagement". Kulick has also made significant contributions to the understanding of transgender communities, particularly through his early ethnographic work with Brazilian travesti prostitutes documented in "Travesti: Sex, Gender and Culture among Brazilian Transgendered Prostitutes". His recent scholarly output demonstrates a trajectory from linguistic anthropology and sexuality studies toward broader questions of vulnerability, ethics, and human-animal relations. Kulick's work consistently engages with marginalized communities and challenges disciplinary boundaries, connecting linguistic anthropology with disability studies, queer theory, and ethical frameworks for engagement with vulnerable others. ERC Advanced Grant for a 5-year research project on people who are treated as though they aren't really there Dr. Kulick has received significant research funding, most notably an ERC Advanced Grant for a 5-year project examining people who are treated as though they aren't really there, including courtroom interpreters and peer reviewers. His mentorship extends through his extensive publications and edited volumes that have shaped multiple generations of anthropological scholarship, particularly in the areas of linguistic anthropology and sexuality studies. While specific lab structures aren't mentioned in the provided text, Kulick's research program on vulnerability appears to be an organized research initiative (referred to as the "EV program" in the text), suggesting a research team or collaborative network focused on vulnerability as a productive resource.
