DGG, I'm pretty useless on what appears borderline academic notability outside of philosophy, history of religion, and some related topics. Anytime I see an associate professor who has an article written somewhat like a speaker bio, though, it sends up red flags for me. A PROF check would be appreciated here.

However, she is probably notable under WP:PROF asan authority in her subject, having written one very important book , The archaeology of ethnogenesis : race and sexuality in San Francisco U Calif Press 2008, rev.ed. Univ. of florida Press ,2015, and been an editor and major contributor to several others , The Archaeology of Colonialism: Intimate Encounters and Sexual Effects. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge. ; Archaeologies of Sexuality. Routledge, London ; and "The Archaeology of Chinese Immigrant and Chinese American Communities."

I try to rewrite articles like this when I have the time, but I rarely do nowadays. The practical thing I will do is to ask for a rewrite. DGG (
