Election statement: Creating the conditions so that younger generations will see their anthropological skills increasingly acknowledged in academic and non-academic contexts is part of the effort to build a future for European anthropology. We need to strengthen the dialogue among all those concerned about the professional role of the anthropologist, and cross-fertilize our experiences of work and collaboration with institutions, civil society organizations and enterprises across Europe. I would like to put what I have learnt thanks to research, teaching and institutional activities at the service of EASA and the youngest sections of our anthropological community. Between 2012 and 2015, I directed Milan-Bicocca Master Program in Cultural and Social Anthropology, and I am now the Deputy Director of the Doctoral Program. I am also completing an ERC Grant on the legacies of slavery. Together with Silvia Vignato and Simone Ghezzi, I was co-convener of EASA 2016, and member of the Scientific Committee.
Nominating member: Andre Gingrich (University of Vienna). Supporting member: Cristina Papa (University of Perugia).
