Two tenure-track assistant professors appointed to the Department of Anthropology
Since 1 July and 1 August, the department has been enriched by the appointment of no fewer than two tenure-track lecturers.
Charlotte Al-Khalili is a social anthropologist researching political violence, mass atrocities and their afterlives in Syria, Lebanon and Turkey. She holds a PhD from University College London in which she explored the intimate effects and everyday experiences of the Syrian revolution and mass displacement to Turkey. Before joining UCPH she held a Leverhulme fellowship at the University of Sussex during which she researched enforced disappearance, war, and transitional justice in Syria and Lebanon. She uses forum theatre, collaborative mapping and collective filming in her work and collaborates with NGOs and human rights organisations.
Eimear Mc Loughlin is a social anthropologist specialising in the relationship between humans and animals, including questions of politics, ethics, emotion, and care. Her research explores industrial agriculture, meat production, agrarian livelihoods, and animal welfare in Denmark and the EU, and how these intersect with questions of nature conservation and environmental education. Her ethnographic fieldwork has involved collaborations with public and private sector partners at national and EU level, alongside public consultancy with EURCAW-Pigs, the EU Reference Centre for Animal Welfare.
