dr. sc. Sanja Đurin
I’m a senior assistant at Institute of ethnology and folklore research in Zagreb, Croatia. I obtained my B.A. in Philosophy and General Linguistics from Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, and M.A. in Social Anthropology (case study: prison Lepoglava) from Institutum Studiorum Humanitatis (ISH), Slovenia. Winner of HESP stipend for PhD study. My doctoral thesis (obtained at Institutum Studiorum Humanitatis (ISH), Slovenia) is analyzing the politics of sexuality in Croatia across different political regimes (1941-2000). In 1999 I attended one-year gender studies at Centar za ženske studije Zagreb, and in 2001 one-year peace studies at Delavsko-punkerska Univerza Ljubljana, Slovenija.
Interested in social anthropology and cultural studies, I was researching different social niches characterized by uneven power distribution and its consequences – subjugation and marginalization, i.e. discursive production of marginality. My target were ethnical, gender and other minority items as well as subjugated identities (migrants, prisoners, waitresses, gay people) and public policies. I was also dedicated to migration studies – I was doing the fieldwork research in Germany and South America (Chile and Argentina). Right now I opened to topics related to outdoor studies.
