Jordan D. Levy is a sociocultural anthropologist with a PhD and MA in Anthropology from the University of Western Ontario, Canada, and a BA in Anthropology and Spanish from Eastern Washington University.
Dr. Levy’s research interests include state formation, political culture, and transnational migration in Honduras. His work addresses issues to do with neoliberal reforms to the K–12 education system in Honduras, the evolving culture of resistance since the 2009 military coup, and Hondurans’ experiences with migration. He has conducted fieldwork in Tegucigalpa, southern Honduras, and among Hondurans living in Washington State.
At DePaul Dr. Levy teaches a variety of ANT courses and is also an affiliated faculty member of the LALS program.
In addition to research and teaching, Dr. Levy regularly serves as an expert witness on Honduras country conditions. Through this applied scholarship, he provides research-based reports and sworn declarations that assist immigration courts in making sense of broader political processes in Honduras.
