This survey has been prepared by the European Association of Social Anthropologists (EASA) in collaboration with the PrecAnthro collective. The purpose of the survey is to get an overview of the employment situation among EASA members. Furthermore, this survey focuses on the production and effects of precarity among anthropologists and how this affects our members. Precarity is one of the major challenges within and outside of academia, different of course in different parts of the world and entangled with political conditions. EASA members discussed precarity during the Milano conference 2016 (PrecAnthro collective) and at the EASA AGM in Bern 2017 “On Politics and Precarity”. Similar debates have been started at the AAA and have been presented in Cultural Anthropology recently.
The results of this survey will allow EASA and the PrecAnthro Collective to better inform about conditions and consequences of employment schemes and work security. Furthermore, it will allow us to develop policy recommendation and engage in lobbying. Since uncertainties are affecting all (though differently of course), members within and outside of academia at all levels of employment and education are invited to participate in this survey.
We thank the PrecAnthro collective and particularly Martin Fotta for the initiative for this survey and their committed collaboration. We also thank the sociologist Janine Widmer for her invaluable support and the University of Bern for providing funding for the professional preparation of this survey. We thank the Executive Committee for their unanimous support of the whole procedure.
Thank you very much for taking the time and answering the questions. The survey should take no more than 15-25 minutes. You find all information necessary online and can also comment on the procedure.
In case of questions, comments, or concerns, please contact Georgeta Stoica and Sabine Strasser for EASA or Martin Fotta on politicsandprecarities(at)gmail.com for the PrecAnthro collective.
