David L. McConnell

David L. McConnell (B.A., Earlham College; M.A. and Ph.D., Stanford University) is a cultural anthropologist who teaches at The College of Wooster in Wooster, OH. His coauthored book (with Charles Hurst), An Amish Paradox: Diversity and Change in the World’s Largest Amish Community (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2010), explores the far-reaching social changes created by increasing entanglement with market forces in the Holmes County Settlement.

McConnell’s recent book, Nature and the Environment in Amish Life (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018), which he coauthored with Lyn Loveless, emerita professor of biology at The College of Wooster, explores the complicated relationships that Amish communities have with the natural world.
