Short bio

Elisabeth Tauber is Professor of Sociocultural Anthropology. She received her PhD (2007) in Sociocultural Anthropology from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in a joint project with the University of Florence. Her research was funded by an FP5 fellowship and the Heinrich Böll Foundation (Berlin).

Following her doctorate, she held a Thyssen Foundation postdoctoral fellowship at LMU Munich. She has conducted extensive ethnographic fieldwork with semi-nomadic Romani communities, within European institutions, and currently with diverse actors engaged in European semi-natural grasslands. Her research addresses Romani marriage practices, nomadism, gift economies, ethnographic archives, and grassland socialities. She has taught at Central European University Budapest and LMU Munich.

Elisabeth co-founded the Malinowski Forum for Ethnography and Anthropology (MFEA) and directs Dialoguing Species - Designing Common Worlds through Ethnographies (DSooE), which investigates interspecies relations and multispecies ethnography across disciplinary boundaries.
