Hege Høyer Leivestad

I received my anthropological training in Norway and Sweden. Having worked for many years at Stockholm University, I am now Associate Professor at the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo. My ongoing research deals with global supply chains and labour, and I’m committed to anthropology’s public voice and impact. As an anthropologist working both in and on Europe, I see EASA’s role as vital in providing a platform for generating and sharing knowledge that can help us tackle the political, economic and environmental challenges of our times.
