Roy Richard Grinker Biography

Roy Richard Grinker is a distinguished academic at The George Washington University, holding professorships in anthropology, international affairs, and human sciences. His expertise spans a wide range of subjects, from North and South Korean relations to the epidemiology of autism in Korea. Grinker's multidisciplinary approach to his work has led to a deep understanding of these topics, which he has shared through his role as the editor of "Anthropological Quarterly."

Grinker's work extends beyond academia into public discourse, making his insights accessible to a broader audience. This has been accomplished through his contributions to op-ed articles for the New York Times and his appearances on PBS NewsHour. His ability to seamlessly move between academic and public spheres demonstrates his versatility and ability to communicate complex ideas effectively.

In addition to his academic and journalistic endeavors, Grinker is a published author, with a range of books on diverse topics such as Africa, Korea, and autism. His work "Nobody's Normal: How Culture Created the Stigma of Mental Illness" was recognized by the New York Times, making the editor's choice list for the week of February 4, 2021. Other notable works include "Houses in the Rainforest: Ethnicity and Inequality among Farmers and Foragers in Northeastern Zaire" and "Unstrange Minds: Remapping the World of Autism." Based in Washington, DC, Grinker's contributions to anthropology and international affairs make him a valuable voice in these fields.
