Election statement 2015: Swedish-Italian by birth, and with a PhD from Stockholm University, I have in the past years taught in Sweden, Italy, the UK, Portugal and now Belgium. This trajectory has convinced me about the importance of EASA in strengthening the future of anthropology through a transnational dialogue. For my candidature I draw on my previous experience as member of the Executive committee (2009-2010). During that period I worked towards the incorporation of marginalized European traditions in EASA. If reelected, I will engage with EASA’s presence across Europe. My European ties allow me also to work towards increasing the space of anthropology in European research focusing especially on early-stage researchers. Finally, I will design a strategy for keeping connected the growing number of anthropologists who today work in other disciplinary environments. EASA must be a platform for bringing all anthropologists together, and for designing strategies to provide the discipline with greater visibility.
