Owner and Principal

The Through-Line is owned and run by me, Dr. Jennifer R. Cash. I hold a Ph.D. in Anthropology, and have more than 20 years of experience in ethnographic research and a decade of editorial experience.

A native of the small mid-Atlantic U.S. state of Delaware, I was educated in the mid-West (Chicago, BA 1996,  Phi Beta Kappa; Indiana University Bloomington, PhD Anthropology and Certificate in Russian and East European Area Studies 2004) before pursuing a career in Europe and Asia. 

In the early 2000s, I spent over a decade in Europe, beginning with fieldwork in the former Soviet Republic of Moldova. In London, I worked for an NGO specialized in European Free Movement and Human Rights Law and taught adjunct at University College London. In Germany, I was a researcher and then associate of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology. 

Now in Singapore, in addition to running the Through-Line, I am an associate of the School of Humanities at Nanyang Technological University and lecture at the Strate School of Design. 

Languages I have studied, to various degrees of proficiency, include French, German, Romanian, Russian, and Malay. 

Fieldwork experience includes the topic of ethnic relations, cultural policy, and changing rural livelihoods.
