THE ANTHROPOLOGIST INVERSED – LAUDATIO - FOR DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR KATHERINE VERDERY, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, GRADUATE CENTER, ON THE OCCASION OF THE AWARD OF THE DOCTOR HONORIS CAUSA TITLE OF BABEȘ-BOLYAI UNIVERSITY

Summary/Abstract: I have the special honour and great joy to pronounce the laudatio for Professor Katherine Verdery in the name of the Department of Sociology. For most of its members, grown as sociologists and anthropologists after 1989, her work has been constitutive. The professional field that we embraced, learning the power of ideas, the practical form of knowledge, and the relational and historical character of the social world, has been considerably shaped by the nuanced and complex understanding that she gave us through her studies. They have Romania as site of empirical investigation, and socialism and its successors as space of theoretical elaboration.
