E. Mara Green serves as an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Barnard College, where she teaches anthropological theory, linguistic anthropology, disability studies, and South Asian cultures through the lens of deaf, queer, and feminist frameworks. Her research program investigates the ethical foundations of communication, emphasizing that mutual understanding requires both linguistic resources and social commitment to connection. Green's ethnographic work in Nepal examines deaf communities using Nepali Sign Language (NSL) and natural sign systems, revealing how communication practices intersect with caste, ethnicity, and bodily experience. Current projects explore NSL signers' parenting experiences and communicative strategies of queer and trans Nepalis across modalities, employing methodologies including video ethnography, participant observation, and linguistic analysis to document embodied interaction. Her 10 publications (2014-2024) demonstrate consistent theoretical innovation at the intersection of linguistic anthropology and deaf studies, challenging Western linguistic frameworks by centering Nepali signers' own theories of language. Key contributions include analyses of gesture pragmatics, sign language ideologies, and moral dimensions of international deaf encounters, culminating in the 2024 monograph Making Sense: Language, Ethics, and Understanding in Deaf Nepal . At Barnard, Green advises anthropology majors and mentors linguistics special majors through petition processes. While specific grant details are unreported, her inclusion in Barnard's 2020 faculty awards announcement suggests institutional recognition of research excellence through mechanisms like Fulbright support.
