Cris Shore

Election statement: I have been a member of EASA since its inception and keen supporter its activities, including as panel organiser and member of its recent Code-of-Conduct Advisory Group. Until recently my nomadic life prevented me from playing an active role in the association. After graduating from Sussex University, I worked at the European Parliament, Perugia University, Oxford Brookes, and Goldsmiths University where I was professor and Head of Department. In 2003 I moved to Auckland University where I was HoD and founding director of the Europe Institute before returning to London in 2019. As a political anthropologist, I am committed to an engaged, public anthropology that addresses questions of power, policy and exploitation. As an Executive member I would aim to enhance EASA’s standing as a professional association, make it more responsive to grassroots developments throughout Europe, and ensure that its activities reflect and support its members’ needs and interests.

Nominating member: Thomas Hylland Eriksen (University of Oslo); Supporting member: Agathe Mora (University of Sussex)
