James Ferguson, professor of anthropology and former department chair, dies at 65 James “Jim” Ferguson played a pivotal roles in the department's history and will be remembered for his remarkable character, kindness and contributions to the field.

Jim Ferguson was so, so amazing and wonderful, and I'm so sad that he has died. He was a guiding light. What a tremendous loss. We are all worse off without him. Rest in peace. stanforddaily.com/2025/02/19/j...

Thanks, Glenn. It was totally amazing, and I'm so sad it's over.

Dean! Hope you're doing well, my friend. It's kind of a few decades old, but I've taught stuff by Diane Rocheleau before, and it's really good (e.g., "Maps, Numbers, Text, and Context: Mixing Methods in Feminist Political Ecology").
