Daphne Winland
Daphne Winland is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at York University in Toronto Canada. Her research and publications reflect specializations in transnationalism, migration and diaspora, the politics of memory and of representation in Southeastern Europe. Among her publications are “We Are Now a Nation”: Croats between “Home” and “Homeland” Toronto: University of Toronto Press (2007, 2nd Ed, 2013) book chapters and journal articles in American Ethnologist, Ethnopolitics and Diaspora. Her current SSHRC-funded research project investigates (a) the impact of broader neoliberal policy shifts in Croatian citizenship policies towards the ethnicization of citizenship criteria in relation to the targeting of “high value” diasporas in the nation building project. This is part of an ongoing project on the everyday politics of populism in Southeastern Europe. (b) Ambivalence and the ethno-national politics of memory in the context of Israel-Palestine. |
