Over the past 25 years, Dr. Robert Rhoades has pursued an anthropology of mountains through field based research in the Himalaya, Andes, Appalachia, and Sierra Nevada of Spain. He was among the first scholars to proposed a comparative approach to the anthropology of mountain peoples (see Rhoades and Thompson, 1975). Through his work with ICIMOD and the International Mountain Forum (North American Representative) he has promoted the concept of montology, or the study of mountains as a formal field of study. Dr. Robert Rhoades graduate students are pursuing active research program in the Andes and Himalaya (see graduate students).
