Jessica Greenberg is a social anthropologist who is ann assistant professor of Anthropology and Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. As a political anthropologist, Greenberg's research has focused on questions of democracy, post-socialism, protest, citizenship, state, and revolution as well as her regional interests in Eastern Europe, the Former Yugoslavia (Serbia specifically) and Europe. Greenberg has stated that it is necessary to “be curious, critical and empathetic, keep an open mind, listen to what people say and watch what they do” (Interview with Greenberg). She has noted that “it’s important to remember that knowledge production is a fundamentally collaborative process that requires both intellectual and ethical commitments” (Interview with Greenberg). 〔Personal interview on April 14, 2013 with Christopher Dayton over email〕 ==Early education and college== Beginning in her teen years, Greenberg became active in a variety of issues through clubs and volunteer projects, such as volunteering at a local aquarium in high school, was a member of an environmental club, fenced, and enjoyed writing poetry. After high school, Greenberg attended Columbia University. She became interested in anthropology as an undergraduate and began as a women’s and gender studies major, with a concentration in anthropology. She joined the feminist movement on campus, the literary review, and the Reform Jewish community. In her senior year she worked for the World Federalist Association, a non-governmental organization that collaborates with the United Nations among other organizations to work towards achieving and maintaining peace. She also participated in the Network of East West Women in New York City, a communication network dedicated to aiding the formation of independent women’s movements. The summer after her junior year in college, Greenberg spent six weeks as a volunteer at the Volunteer Project Pakrac in Croatia, which was intended to rebuild infrastructure and social ties in Western Slavonia, which sparked her interest in the former Yugoslavia. Upon completing her volunteering and returning to college, she volunteered for different non-governmental organization, one of which focused on gender and advocacy in the former Yugoslavia. She pursued a career in anthropology because it combined her interests in scholarly work and in living and working abroad. She received her Doctorate in Anthropology from the University of Chicago in 2007. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jessica Greenberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
