READ: BU Alum Annika Schmeding’s NEW book “Frontier Ethnographies: Deconstructing Research Experiences in Afghanistan and Pakistan”
BU alum Annika Schmeding’s new book “Frontier Ethnographies: Deconstructing Research Experiences in Afghanistan and Pakistan” is out NOW! Annika co-edited the book and it is released with Berghahn Books. The volume is a collection of essays that probes the boundaries of knowledge production in complex and shifting research settings through exploratory ethnographic writing and probing methodological analysis at the intersection of anthropology, political science, conflict studies, ethnomusicology, and the arts. The volume assembles voices of emerging scholars (Afghan, Pakistani, regional and Western) who have conducted field research within these two countries in the past two decades (including another BU affiliate Melissa Chiovenda!). Frontiers are hereby more than a physical border zone, and represent boundaries that can lie between spaces, people, types of knowledge or internal to the self.
Annika is now a lecturer at the Department of Arabic and Middle East Area Studies at the University of Amsterdam. Congratulations Annika!
