Ana Margarida Sousa Santos. Atua na(s) área(s) de Ciências Sociais com ênfase em Outras Ciências Sociais. I have been awarded a D.Phil in Social Anthropology by St Antony¿s College, Oxford, in 2011. My doctoral work developed from my interest in questions of identity and belonging that specifically focused on the peripheries (social, economic, geographical), such as borderlands, and later extended to questions of memory, mobility, and violence from the vantage point of anthropology. My first monograph investigates the construction of difference in northern Mozambique. Concentrating on political conflict that erupted after local elections, I investigate how conflicting memories of a shared past become part of local discourses of identity and difference. My analysis brings into focus the volatile political environments in the wake of democratization processes, and engages with debates exploring the links between identity, violence and memory. I have extensive experience of multisited, qualitative research in Mozambique, Tanzania and Portugal, and working in multidisciplinary environments. My work is methodologically innovative integrating data from a wide range of subjects (with attention to generational, political, and gender differences), and using mixed ethnographic and historical methods, including life histories, oral history, and archival research. I broadened my research interests and developed research initiatives that resulted in a number of articles in peer reviewed journals exploring rumour and uncertainty (Social Analysis), autochthony and ownership (JRAI), and mobility and return after conflict (submitted to Anthropological Quarterly). This research focuses specifically on memory and colonial legacies, mobility and belonging. It is timely, and has a strong potential for impact, given the current political instability and intermittent violence in northern Mozambique. More recently, I developed new research exploring maritime cultural heritage in East Africa, and its potential for local development. This research included multisited fieldwork in Mozambique and Tanzania, and an expansion of research interests into areas that connect memory, heritage, and politics. I secured funding from the Global Challenges Research Fund in the UK to investigate maritime cultural heritage in northern Mozambique, and for a map of heritage sites in East Africa. Inspired by my work with veterans in Mozambique, my current project investigates veterans¿ war experience and reintegration in Portugal. Combining insights from anthropology and history, it questions how representation of war and memory, health and reintegration of military veterans mutually affect each other, and will contribute to a wider discussion of the 'silencing experience' of war as well as the medical responses to the consequences of war and the legacies of colonialism. I have an excellent, and extensive, teaching record in various institutions in the UK (University of Durham, SOAS, University of Roehampton, University of East London, University of Oxford, and University of Birmingham). I designed, convened, and delivered research informed modules that covered classical anthropological themes, ethnographic theory and practice, regional ethnography, thematic ethnography, to undergraduate and post-graduate students. My teaching received excellent evaluations from students, and peers on teaching methods, content, and clarity of discussion. At Durham, I ran the final year PhD Work in Progress seminar, provided feedback on PhD student presentations and writing, and a transfer viva. I supervised Master¿s and undergraduate dissertations on topics related to the regional (East and Southern Africa, and Europe) and thematic (violence, performance, memory, history and anthropology, state and politics) areas of my research. At SOAS she co-supervised a PhD Student, and at Durham examined a PhD progression viva.
