Aleksandar Bošković

University of Belgrade

Election candidate 2021-2022

Election statement: I hope that my international experience, combined with interest in “Other Peoples’ Anthropologies” (edited book published in 2008), and more recently in the implications of “Anthropocene” and human rationality could strengthen the Executive. During two decades in EASA, I co-founded (with Han Vermeulen) History of Anthropology Network, and was EASA Book Series Editor (2016-2020).
I am Professor of anthropology at the University of Belgrade (Serbia), and at the University of Donja Gorica (Montenegro). Previously taught at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), University of Brasília (Brazil), Rhodes University, Witwatersrand (South Africa), and University of St Andrews (UK). I was Deputy Chair of the Commission on Theoretical Anthropology (COTA) of the IUAES, and member of the Council of Commissions (2013-2018). I spoke on different social and political issues, and actively work with human rights organisations since 1993.

Nominating member: Adam Kuper (LSE); Supporting member: Maja Petrović-Šteger (Institute of Anthropological and Spatial Studies, ZRC SAZU, Ljubljana)
