American Anthropologist, Volume 127, Issue 2, Page 233-243, June 2025.

In this article, I rely on participant fieldwork as a student in a group of initiated donso hunters in Burkina Faso, which involved ...

‘We welcome migrants and the tourists come’: postmodern hospitality in Palermo, Sicily

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 537-554, September 2024.

In my analysis of what people in Namibia and Germany know about “SARS‐Cov‐2” and “climate change,” I propose an anti‐constructivist alternative. Drawing on the work of the phenomenologist Bernhard
