Thursday 25th of June at 12:00pm CET - Sala de Juntes (ground floor, Faculty of Geography and History, University of Barcelona).

Cristiana Bastos (PhD Anthropology, CUNY 1996) is a research professor at the Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon. Her work bridges anthropology, social history, history of sciences and public health, covering different social and historical contexts – from Southern Iberia, urban Brazil and colonial Goa to the plantation societies of Guyana and Hawaii. Her project “The Colour of Labour” focused on the ways plantation labor produced racialized existences that persisted through racialism and racism. As a spin-off of that project, she is currently interested in the collective co-production of plants and peoples.
