Curriculum Vitae

 


Eric Haanstad, born 1974, began exploring anthropology at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis (USA) where he studied the Anishinaabe Ojibwe (Chippewa) language as a double major in American Indian Studies. His senior thesis was an ethnographic analysis of changing campus security practices within the University of Minnesota Police Department’s student security division, foreshadowing later research with the Royal Thai Police. He served as an intern at the American Anthropological Association (AAA) in Arlington, Virginia where he worked on projects related to government relations, public policy, and K-12 education. Subsequently, he returned to Wisconsin and continued graduate work in cultural anthropology and Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA). He served as the President of AAA’s National Association of Student Anthropologists (NASA) from 2001 to 2003 while conducting field research in Thailand. Research for his dissertation, “Constructing Order through Chaos: A State Ethnography of the Thai Police” was funded by the Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Program, the Wenner-Gren Foundation Dissertation Fieldwork Grant and the Southeast Asian Studies Center Fellowship at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dissertation write-up support was provided by the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation Dissertation Award and the School for Advanced Research (SAR) Weatherhead Resident Scholars program. He received a Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in August of 2008.

In 2009 he was a Resident Scholar at the Centre for Khmer Studies in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where he taught political science, political anthropology and research methods to Cambodian junior faculty. Since 2009, Haanstad is a post-doctoral scholar in the Institute of Cultural Anthropology at the University of Freiburg funded by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF).

 

Research Interests


His research interests include the anthropology of police and military groups in Thailand and Cambodia, cross-cultural conceptualizations of temporality, transnational security practices, state expressions of globalization, and contemporary/historical performances of ritual, violence and democratization in Southeast Asia.
