Günther Schlee 2
The University of Oxford | 2018-Present
Günther Schlee is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle/Saale (Germany). Before becoming Director at the Max Planck Institute, Schlee taught Social Anthropology at the University of Bielefeld and received a guest lecturing position at the renowned School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (École des Hautes Études en Science Sociales) in Paris. Schlee’s ethnographic region of expertise is Northeast Africa. He has done extensive fieldwork in South Sudan as well as in parts of Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia. His interest stems from the ethnic multiplicity that dominates in these countries. More recently, Schlee has also looked at the political effects different forms of collective identification had in other countries, such as Germany. Schlee works interdisciplinary, using both anthropological as well as political, linguistic, and economic lenses for analysis.
