Rebeca Sanchez-Burr

Degrees:
University of Virginia , BA Psychology, 2004

Awards:
Graduate Division Fellowship, University of California, Riverside, 2005

Research Areas:
Gender, Social Theory

Biography:
Rebeca's sociological interests in the United States are on social and cultural trends, practices, and other phenomenon that focus on the attainment, optimization, and maintenance of physiological, mental and spiritual well being and associated concepts such as wellness, vitality, longevity, and immunity. Particular concerns in such practices lie in what could be potentiated by alternate subjectivities regarding time, space, power and the body in terms of identity, difference, and equality; consciousness, intelligence, and agency. The incidence of methodological error may qualify the genesis of methodological break. New interpretations, revisions and strategies offer relevant implications for theory and methods. Gendered constructions, post feminisms, individualism, holism, orientalism, occultism, body modification, ritual, and alchemy exemplify some of what is conceptually of interest.
