I am a Social Anthropologist, Postdoctoral researcher at CREDO and affiliated researcher at ERC program Indigeneities in the 21st Century, LMU Munich (www.indigen.eu). Since 2005, I have been studying Rapanui society (Easter Island) from an ethnographic, historical, and, multi-site viewpoint. After having worked on the long history of the Rapanui diaspora (Chile, Rapa Nui, French Polynesia), my current projects are centered around Rapanui governance and sovereignty (past — present — future) and, the history of Rapanui museological collections (collectors’ network, temporalities, and Indigenous actors).
