Professor Ray is actually a "her". Her work has been discussed here before, by yours truly and others. Overall she presents a very interesting look at the Scottish-American community. While some might find her analysis disconserting, I think she raises some very good points about the mythology of history and how diaspora people re-create their home cultures abroad. Her analysis of World War II German reenactors has been far more contraversial than Highland Heritage though.
