CONTRIBUTION TO ANTHROPOLOGY & PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS:<\/strong>\u00a0As a member of faculty, I have had the singular opportunity to train the next generation of Anthropologists (from different countries) during the last 30+ years. I have mentored young academics by actively involving them in research projects thus granting them firsthand experience of anthropological fieldwork.
I have been a member of various national, regional and other Anthropology organizations. I am an active member of the Kenya Anthropological Association; a member of Pan-African Anthropological Association (where I served as Treasurer and President respectively); a member of the Society for Applied Anthropology where I now serve in the Pelto International Award Committee; a member of the IUAES where I served as member and co-chair of the Committee on Documentation; and has been a member of the American Anthropological Association.
Currently I serve as Chair of the World Council for Anthropological Associations and co-chair of the World Anthropological Union. As a member and Chair of the WCAA Organizing Committee and co-Chair to WAU Steering Committee, I have worked with colleagues towards a harmonious integration of the WCAA and IUAES. These efforts include making the WCAA webinars a joint work of the WCAA and IUAES, the creation of a one website for WCAA, IUAES and WAU among other initiatives. Over my period as WCAA Chair, we welcomed three new Associations into WCAA.<\/p>

I am Brazilian, an anthropologist trained in Brazil at UFRGS – Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, and in France at the Universit\u00e9 de Paris V, where I obtained my doctorate in 1988. In 1989, I joined as a professor at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), where I built my career in teaching and research in the fields of gender studies, methodology, and history of anthropology, supervising undergraduate and postgraduate research for over 200 students. In addition to my affiliation with UFSC, I have been a visiting professor at various other Brazilian universities and in France (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Universit\u00e9 de Paris 3), the United States (Columbia University), Portugal (ISCTE), and Chile (Universidad de Chile).
My connection with the current IUAES began in 1993 when I participated in the IUAES Congress (then ICAES) in Mexico City. Being at the beginning of my anthropological career, being able to meet the global anthropological community was incredibly captivating. In 1998, although I had papers accepted for presentation at the Williamsburg Congress, I was unable to attend due to high costs and difficulties in obtaining a visa to the United States. Since 2004, when WCAA was created at the congress of the Brazilian Anthropological Association held in Recife, where I was elected and assumed my mandate as president of the Brazilian Association, I have been following the articulations of global anthropological associations and have been attending the IUAES congresses again, such as the one in Kunming, China, in 2009. At this congress, along with other Brazilian and Latin American colleagues, we initiated the project of organizing an IUAES congress in Brazil. As there was already a strong candidacy from Manchester for the 2013 Congress, we proposed to submit our candidacy for the following congress, which finally took place in 2018 in Florian\u00f3polis under my general coordination.
Between 2013 and 2018, I served on the IUAES board as vice president responsible for organizing the 18th Congress in Florian\u00f3polis. This gave me the ppportunity to understand how our association works and closely follow the main challenges faced by the IUAES at that time. During the five years I was part of the board, under the presidency of Faye Harrisson and with Junji Koysumi as secretary general, our main challenges included: a) global integration of anthropologists from all continents into the association. We organized inter-congresses on all continents (Japan in 2014, Thailand in 2015, Croatia in 2016, Canada in 2017), culminating in the congress in Brazil. b) coordination between the two global anthropological associations – IUAES and WCAA within WAU; c) revitalization of the association through thematic commissions, which allowed the integration of anthropologists from new generations, enabling significant renewal of the IUAES.
I stepped away from the IUAES during the 2018-2023 term because I became involved in important Brazilian scientific associations. I served as president of ANPOCS, the main association that brings together anthropology, sociology, and political science in Brazil, for the 2019\/2020 biennium. I was elected as a representative of the scientific community in the humanities for the CNPq Deliberative Council (2020\/2024), as well as a member of the board of SBPC – Brazilian Society for the Advancement of Science, an association that encompasses scientific associations from all fields of knowledge and has a strong impact on science and technology policy in Brazil.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Since beginning my academic career as a teacher and researcher in Anthropology, I have taken the initiative to serve in various professional organisations in this field. In my first two years (1991-1992) at The University of Western Australia (UWA), I served as treasurer of the Anthropological Society of Western Australia (ASWA) and then became a regular member of the executive committee. I served two terms as ASWA president (1994-1995) and have served as a vice-president ever since, as well as on the ASWA professional committee. I first served on the executive of the national representative body, the Australian Anthropological Society (AAS), in 2001, after having worked on the organising committee of the annual AAS conference the previous year, including running the ethnographic film festival for that conference. I later served as AAS secretary for one two-year term (2007-2008). After having convened in 2011 a joint conference of the AAS, ASAANZ, and IUAES (still the largest AAS conference ever mounted) in 2011, I was subsequently elected to a three-year term as AAS president-elect \/ president \/ president emeritus (2015-2018). During my tenure as president I oversaw the revision of the AAS constitution to accord with new by-laws for voluntary organisations within New South Wales, in which AAS is incorporated, and introduced a new membership fee structure.

The achievement of which I am perhaps most proud across these service roles was my proposing, initiating and carrying out along with a team of two other Australian anthropologists, Pam McGrath and Adele Millard, the Global Survey of Anthropological Practice (GSAP) for the WCAA. This was the first survey at an international level that explored the state of the anthropological profession, including assessing the range of positions occupied both within and outside academia, publishing practices, and other aspects of anthropological careers. While analyses of the national and regional subsets of results of this survey have been published in various venues, the most comprehensive collection to date has appeared earlier this year as a special issue of\u00a0Vibrant: Virtual Brazilian Anthropology<\/em>, the journal of the\u00a0Brazilian Association of Anthropology<\/a>, in which I have contributed two co-authored papers, dealing with the general findings at the global level of GSAP and the history of the project.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

My academic work is situated within the anthropology of mobility, with a special focus on colonial legacies in contemporary migration and tourism, global mobility regimes, and the intersections of various forms of spatial mobility. I conduct research in India \u2013 in Tibetan refugee settlements, among evicted residents of the UNESCO World Heritage site, and with mobile workers and small entrepreneurs in the informal tourism sector. I am also involved in both research and applied projects on migrant integration and Ukrainian refugees\u2019 reception in Poland. I teach courses in postcolonial theory, anthropology of migration, anthropology of tourism, and refugee studies. I am the author of the book\u00a0Encounters across Difference. Tourism and Overcoming Subalternity in India<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(Lexington Books 2021) and the co-editor (with Kathleen M. Adams) of the volume\u00a0Intersections of Tourism, Migration, and Exile<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(Routledge 2023). My articles have appeared in, among others:\u00a0Critique of Anthropology, Critical Asian Studies, Journal of Refugee Studies, Annals of Tourism Research, and Transfers. Interdisciplinary Journal of Mobility Studies<\/em>.
I have been involved with IUAES since the 2013 Congress in Manchester, when I joined the Commission on the Anthropology of Tourism. Since then, I have attended all but one IUAES congresses. Each time, I co-organised and convened panels (with, among others, Kathleen M. Adams, Noel B. Salazar, and Lillian Marie Wallace), mostly in cooperation with other IUAES Commissions, and have served as a member of the Scientific Committee twice. In 2018, I was elected a\u00a0co-deputy chair of the Commission on the Anthropology of Tourism<\/strong>, and in 2021,\u00a0its co-chair<\/strong>. As such, I am a\u00a0member of the IUAES Council of Commissions<\/strong>, trying to take an active part in its activities. Since 2020, I have been a\u00a0member of the World Anthropological Union task force for WAU projects<\/strong>, in which I am responsible for WAU online workshops project, together with Virginia R. Dominguez.
My biggest achievement in the field of organisational work for IUAES is serving as a\u00a0co-coordinator (together with \u0141ukasz Kaczmarek) of the Organising Committee of the IUAES2019 Inter-congress \u201cWorld Solidarities\u201d in Pozna\u0144 (Poland)<\/strong>\u00a0at Adam Mickiewicz University. It was the last fully on-site IUAES congress, gathering over 600 participants from 60 countries who presented their research across 103 panels. The congress was co-organised by the Polish Ethnological Association (a member of WCAA) and was the biggest event of this kind in the history of Polish anthropology and ethnology. It took place during the centennial year of Pozna\u0144\u2019s university and the discipline of ethnology at this university. At the congress, we called for the solidarity of our colleagues in the face of removing ethnology from the list of officially recognised scientific disciplines by the Polish government. A number of support letters and the activities of Polish anthropologists ultimately succeeded and led to ethnology and cultural anthropology being placed back on the list.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
