Mark Busse »
Mark Busse is Senior Lecturer in Social Anthropology at the University of Auckland. His research concerns social organization, reciprocity and markets, intellectual and cultural property, and inequality with a geographical focus on Papua New Guinea.

That research has focused on dual organization, sister exchange marriage, gender and inequality, history, and regional integration.
