Autorenporträt

Jelle J P Wouters is a social anthropologist who has carried out long-term ethnographic and historical research among the upland and tribal Nagas in India's generally lesser known Northeastern Region, writing about insurgency, violence, vernacular politics, capitalism, resource-extraction, and social history. Main research area and focus today are environmental humanities, climate change, water, and human-animal-plant entanglements in Bhutan, and Highland Asia more widely. He teaches at the Royal University of Bhutan in the Department of Social Science. He holds an MPhil (Distinction) in Social Anthropology from the University of Oxford, and later completed a PhD in Anthropology from the North-Eastern Hill University in Shillong (India). Before joining Royal Thimphu College (Bhutan) as a lecturer he taught for two years at Sikkim Central University, where he was asked to establish the Anthropology Department, and was a visiting fellow (2014-2015) at Eberhard Karls University on a "Teaching for Excellence" award granted by the German Research Foundation. He currently also serves as the Chair of the Himalayan Centre for Environmental Humanities, Thimphu.
