Dr. Floya Anthias (professor emeritus at Roehampton University, London) is a renowned investigator regarding the issues of ethnicity/“race“, gender, class, intersectionality, migration, global citizenship and especially belonging. She stayed in Bielefeld and Cologne respectively for a month (May/June 2013) and could give important input for the development of the theoretical concepts and open the view for a supra-regional perspective due to her intensive engagement regarding the central concepts of the Research Network focusing on Europe. Results are presented in the KLA Working Paper Series No.8, Identity and Belonging: conceptualisations and political framings.


Dr. Christine Hünefeldt (professor at the University of San Diego) is an American anthropologist and historian with special focus on ethnicity and gender in the Andean region. Thanks to her stay in August 2013, the members of the Research Network were introduced to new ideas regarding interdependencies and historiography of the theoretical concepts and were able to establish further contacts to the United States.


Dr. Mario Rufer (Argentinean professor at the Universidad Metropolitana in Mexico) has focused his investigation on nation and politics concerning the past in Argentina and South Africa, postcolonial theories and Subaltern Studies. He visited the Research Network in Bielefeld in October 2013, which gave way to the opportunity for an intensive exchange of ideas with a scientist from Latin America who also alluded to a supra-regional perspective. Results are presented in the KLA Working Paper Series No.12, La comunidad melancolica: etnicidad, patrimonio comunitario y memoria en Mexico.


Dr. Valeria Coronel (professor at FLACSO Quito, Ecuador) is Dean of the Faculty for Sociology and Gender Studies at FLACSO, Ecuador.
