The MARIAL Center is primarily a research institute, oriented towards
the close ethnographic study of families and communities in the
Southeastern United States. Although we come from diverse disciplines
and draw on a wide array of methodological and conceptual "toolkits,"
our work revolves around a common set of interpretive problems and
concerns.
