Election statement 2017: I am Associate Professor at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales and I coordinate the EHESS PhD program in Marseille (France). As a member of the current EASA executive committee, I have been part of the scientific committee of the Milan conference and in charge of the EASA networks. EASA offers anthropologists different spaces to work together and engage in a critical debate, and the networks are a particular important resource to sustain the scientific vitality of our association. If I am reelected, I would like to continue supporting networks and their activities, and I will work to improve the internal functioning of our association. EASA is also a powerful instrument to put pressure on European institutions and to support anthropology and anthropologists inside and outside research and teaching institutions. As a member of the next executive committee, I would like to contribute to EASA’s actions against the precarization of anthropologists and to help strengthening the place of anthropology in Europe by promoting collaboration with other associations.
Nominating member: Adam Kuper (London School of Economics and Political Sciences). Supporting member: Benoît de l’Estoile (CNRS, Ecole Normale Supérieure, France).
Election statement 2015: I feel that EASA is a precious tool because it permits anthropologists in Europe to work together. If I am elected, I would like to improve EASA networks but also links and collaborations with other associations outside Europe. I completed my PhD in Italy in 1996 (Rome La Sapienza) and I am Associate Professor at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (France). My experience in these two countries and my actual responsabilities coordinating in Marseille the EHESS PhD programm, could make a useful contribution to EASA. They give me a broad outlook on how institutions work and on the place of anthropology inside them. I believe we need to strengthen EASA’s actions against the precarity of anthropologists working inside and outside the Universities and Research institutions. I support using EASA as a powerful tool to put pressure on European institutions to increase funds for research in Social Sciences, changing the current trend. I would like to contribute to these positive changes by becoming a member of the next executive committee
