LAUNCH OF ‘SOLID’ AND ‘ANGLE’

Two new ERC research projects, both funded by the European Research Council, will start in 2025, and the Department of Anthropology at UCPH is marking this occasion with an event. Join us in EE (Ethnographic Exploratory, 4.1.12) on Thursday, 27 February, from 2:00 to 5:00 PM for the launch of the research projects SOLID and ANGLE. The projects will be presented, followed by a Q&A session, and the event will conclude with a reception.

THE SOCIAL LIFE OF DEAD BODIES (SOLID)

With Anja Simonsen as principal investigator, the SOLID project seeks to explore the social life of deceased migrants in and around the Mediterranean Sea by bringing together forensic, social, economic, humanitarian, and political actors and perspectives on the same unidentified migrant bodies.

ANGER LEGITIMISED (ANGLE)

ANGER will investigate how powerful collective anger is generated, shared, and legitimised within or across different communities. The aim of the project is to provide a vibrant research platform for studying the cross-regional, interconnected politics of anger. The project is headed by Atreyee Sen, who will conduct the study in close collaboration with co-investigator Matthew Carey. Read more about the project here.
