Election statement 2015: I have served in the UK on the executive committee of the ASA (Association of Social Anthropologists, 2007-2012), but I would like now to expand my understanding of and support for the vitality of our discipline by becoming an active member of the EASA Executive. As a transplanted North American who has made her home in Britain, I feel strongly about the importance of creating and maintaining transnational communication and cooperation within the professional community of anthropologists. Serving on the EASA would permit me the opportunity to contribute to this endeavour first-hand. Furthermore, as an anthropologist working in a sociology department, I am very aware of the increasing diversity of where members of our profession develop their working research lives and how important it is to represent these differences. I would be keen to learn more about this in a wider European context.
Nominated and supported by Peter Phillimore (Newcastle University) and Jeanette Edwards (University of Manchester)
