| A. Scott Catey Research Index I am an ethnographer of law and politics, and I work primarily in Europe and Native North America. In Europe, I have conducted ethnographic and archival research in Wales, Scotland, England, Ireland, Romania, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Belgium, and at the European Union. In Native North America I have conducted research among the Nez Perce, Shoshone-Bannock, Salish, Lakota, Blackfeet, Gros Ventre, and Assiniboin, Catawba, and in addition I have contracted several times to conduct research consultancy work with Native American Rights Fund. I have also conducted law and policy research, including ethnographic research, in Gainesville, Florida, and in Brookline and Boston, Massachusetts. My dissertation research focuses on devolution and the constitutional transformation of the UK, and subsequent National Health System reforms implemented in Wales by the National Assembly for Wales and Welsh Assembly Government. I am most interested in the intersections of mental illness with other axes of difference as these are fabricated by law- and policy-makers for purposes of the construction and operationalization of a medicolegal therapeutic regime. My dissertation research focuses on the cultural constructions of governance, the body, and history, with a focus on political economy and a constitutive theory of practice that takes seriously discursive analysis and a dialectical and historical materialist methodology.
