Election statement 2015: Should I receive your support and be re-elected to the EASA Executive Committee for the second term, I will continue in building on EASA’s principle as an organization that is inclusive and supportive of anthropologists who work in/on Europe and who come from diverse academic traditions. I also plan to continue in my work on expanding EASA’s potential to help early-career anthropologists in navigating the increasingly complex European job market. I will firmly advocate for initiatives that bolster EASA’s attractiveness as a supportive and encouraging organization guided by shared concern for building a welcoming anthropological community open to all those with a passion for our discipline.
Born in the Czech Republic, I received academic training in anthropology in the United States (1997 B.A. Temple University, 2004 Ph.D. New School for Social Research). My research is located in the political anthropology of Central Europe as well as educational and urban anthropology. I live and work in Poland and in the Czech Republic.
Nominated and supported by Michal Buchowski (Adam Mickiewicz University) and Ulf Hannerz (Stockholm University)
