About Daphne

Daphne Winland is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at York University in the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies. She earned her Ph.D. in Sociology and M.A. in Anthropology from York University. Her research interests encompass anthropology, politics and government, diaspora and transnationalism, memory studies, Eastern Europe, Croatia, and Israel/Palestine. Areas of expertise include the impacts of the Wars of Succession in the former Yugoslavia; diaspora involvement in nation-building projects and citizenship regimes; historical revisionism and populism in Europe; transnational memory; comparative study of East European diaspora with a focus on memory activism; and political genealogies of diplomatic archives and their relationship to trans/national imaginaries, memory-making, and nation-building in Israel/Palestine. Winland's current projects examine the changing face of diaspora engagement with the Croatian homeland, including younger generations promoting neoliberal strategies in a market economy, ethnographic research on transnational memory, and comparative studies of memory activism.
