David Price is Professor Emeritus at St. Martin’s University, where he taught anthropology for 30 years. He conducted cultural anthropological and archaeological fieldwork and research in the United States, Palestine, Egypt, and Yemen. His three-volume series of books for Duke University Press uses documents released under the Freedom of Information Act and archival sources to critically examine American anthropologists’ interactions with intelligence agencies. He served on the American Anthropological Association (AAA) committees investigating anthropologists’ interactions with military and intelligence agencies (2006-2009), and on the AAA task force which wrote the Association’s current code of ethics (2008-2011); and he has served on the Society for Applied Anthropology’s Public Policy Committee (2009-2012). He is a founding member of the Network of Concerned Anthropologists.
