Department of Science and Technology Studies / Seminar Room / Staircase II / 6th floor (NIG)
Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien
Vortrag
In this talk, Professor M´charek will share with us some of
her latest work on the RaceFaceID project (https://race-face-id.eu/).
Amade M’charek is Professor of Anthropology of Science at the
Department of Anthropology, University of Amsterdam, where she
acts as the director of the research group Health, Care and the Body.
M’charek is PI of the RaceFaceID project an ERC-consolidator project
on forensic identification and the making of face and race, and co-PI of
the NWA project Pressing Matter: Ownership, Value and the Question
of Colonial Heritage in Museums. Her work has centred on the ir/
relevance of race in science and society focusing on genetics and
forensic practice, exploring issues of post-coloniality, temporality and
identity. Through her recent research on migrant death, she has
developed an interest in forensic methods for studying (post)colonial
relations, circulations and extractions, which has translated in her
current interdisciplinary project, Vital Elements and Postcolonial
Moves: Forensics as the Art of Paying Attention in a Mediterranean
Harbour Town.
