Author: Judith Beyer

Judith Beyer joined Allegra in 2013 and is currently part of an editorial team that explores how to make anthropology multimodal: across multiple media and towards a more engaged public anthropology. Judith specializes in political and legal anthropology. She conducts long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Central Asia (Kyrgyzstan), Southeast Asia (Myanmar) and increasingly in Europe. Her current thematic interests are: the concept of community, practices of traditionalization, statelessness and activism. Theoretically she is inspired by existential anthropology, ethnomethodology, and the work of Jacques Lacan.
