NANCY J. FAIRLEY Fairley earned her bachelor's degree in African studies from the
City University of New York, and her Ph.D. in anthropology from the SUNY-Stony
Brook. Before joining the Davidson faculty in 1993, she taught at Lake Forest
College, University of Cincinnati, Lincoln University, and Lehman College. Since she joined Davidson’s anthropology faculty in 1993, Fairley has also become well-known as a storyteller. What began as a fun activity with her daughter, Malu, and her classmates, has developed professionally. Fairley has conducted many storytelling workshops in schools in and around Davidson, and was keynote speaker at the meeting of the Association for Independent Schools in Africa in Dakar, Senegal. Her penchant for storytelling has expanded into writing and publishing children's stories and doing research on folklore of other cultures. |
