Director of PSL, program co-director

Penelope Papailias teaches anthropology at the University of Thessaly, where she directs the Laboratory of Social Anthropology. She has written on the politics of cultural memory, historical culture and the witnessing of media events. Her current work focuses on the public appearance of the dead body(-image) from memes and YouTube memorials to bone rooms and archaeological excavations. She is committed to reimagining anthropological pedagogy and research through experimentation with multimodal genres (data-stories) and building publics through collaborations with artists and activists.

LOGISTICS

Alexandros Papageorgiou is a PhD candidate in Social Anthropology at the Department of History, Archeology, Social Anthropology of the University of Thessaly. His dissertation explores modern-day politics of knowledge, specifically "projects" as a technology of governance and subjectification in EU policies for research. He is also interested in contemporary conditions of anthropological labor and knowledge production, and on anthropology’s position and role in public debate. This was the focus of the research project "Anthrobombing: Narrative Experimentations for the Design of a Public Anthropology Platform" (2020-2022) that he carried out together with Alexandra Siotou and Penelope Papailias.
