I meant to write that a dissertation doesn’t EXIST only on computer disks.
I found the answer. Apparently it’s on microfilm, if we believe it: http://books.google.com/books/about/Peasant_Blacksmithing_in_Indonesia.html?id=LxXcAAAAMAAJ
Stanley Ann Dunham, 1992.
We usually think of black smithing as showing horses - making iron works
With all of the beautiful jewelry and brick-bracks that came from that area could materials also include precious metals ?

Why would we doubt it? Why would the university, in ‘92, fake giving Ann a Ph.D? Do you have any evidence that they committed major, glaring academic fraud by claiming to award her a Ph.D she didn’t earn? The UoH is very proud of SADO. They’ve posted numerous accolades to her, and every one mentions her Ph.D. In order to earn it, she had to write & defend a thesis/dissertation. She did so. Whether it was any good or not, who knows? She got the Ph.D. That is the bottom line.
Btw, Mercer Island HS is fundraising off the fact that SADO graduated there. Here’s the link:
Here’s another link, re: the dissertation and a subsequent book based on it:
‘President Barack Obama’s mother, S. Ann Dunham, was an economic anthropologist and rural development consultant who worked in several countries including Indonesia. Dunham received her doctorate in 1992. She died in 1995, at the age of 52, before having the opportunity to revise her dissertation for publication, as she had planned. Dunham’s dissertation adviser Alice G. Dewey and her fellow graduate student Nancy I. Cooper undertook the revisions at the request of Dunham’s daughter, Maya Soetoro-Ng. The result is Surviving against the Odds, a book based on Dunham’s research over a period of fourteen years among the rural metalworkers of Java, the island home to nearly half Indonesia’s population. Surviving against the Odds reflects Dunham’s commitment to helping small-scale village industries survive; her pragmatic, non-ideological approach to research and problem solving; and her impressive command of history, economic data, and development policy. Along with photographs of Dunham, the book includes many pictures taken by her in Indonesia.’
