Education
Biography
Dr. Bialostok is an educational and linguistic anthropologist by training. His research
typically engages discourse analysis with social theory (mostly Foucault, Bourdieu),
combining analysis of linguistic practices with ethnographic research oriented to
theoretical debates about power, identity, and inequality. He has published on schooling,
neoliberalisim, and late modern capitalism. His research has brought him to the Wind
River Reservation as well as Afghanistan. His current five -year ethnography in Denver
investigates a group of elderly Black men who have played dominoes together for decades,
in a historically Black neighborhood that is undergoing gentrification.
