I was trained in social anthropology and social philosophy in Vienna, Lancaster, and Frankfurt. I am a researcher at the University St. Gallen and the Institute for Social Research Frankfurt. Committed to economic and political anthropology, my fieldwork led me to Eastern Africa, Greece, and Central Europe. I worked on corporations and NGOs, solidarity practices and debt, and fiscal politics and deservingness.
EASA introduced me to a community of colleagues and friends. Since 2020, I have been co-convenor of the Anthropology of Economy Network and a member of PrecAnthro to foster exchange and solidarity, a practice I want to consolidate as a member of the Exec.
If elected, my aims would include:
1) Leveraging the organisation to counter precarization and under-funding
2) Strengthening EASA’s voice as a transnational scholarly organisation in times of war, climate crisis, and rising inequalities
3) Supporting the transformation of the discipline by decolonial and queer approaches
