Emanuele De Simone
During his studies in sociology at the University of Salerno, Emanuele De Simone joined the Annabella Rossi Anthropology Lab and collaborated with anthropologist Stefano De Matteis. This led to his Bachelor’s thesis in Cultural Anthropology on the memory of the Shoah across generations, part of a larger project in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Naples. He completed his Master's degree with a thesis in Theories of Contemporary Society, exploring critical perspectives on myth-making processes. Collegiate of the a.r.t.e.s. Graduate School for the Humanities of Cologne, PhD and research assistant at the chair of Professor Martin Zillinger in the Department of Anthropology, Emanuele is working within the intertwining of anthropology of religion and sainthood and anthropology of migration and mobility to investigate the role of saints in the migration process of Italian Catholic migrants between Cologne and Licata (Sicily).
After working on the VOICE: Decentring Epistemologies for Global Well-Being project within and beyond the EUniWell network, he is now project facilitator of the Crisis and Conviviality in the Mediterranean initiative.
