| Katya Wesolowski, Lecturing Fellow of Cultural Anthropology
Please note: Katya has left the "Center for Latin American Caribbean Studies" group at Duke University; some info here might not be up to date. As an anthropologist and dancer, I am interested in the interrelationship between bodies, cultural practices, politics and ethnographic writing. My research explores expressive culture of the African Diaspora with a focus on Brazil and Angola. My book, Capoeira Connections: a memoir in motion (UPF 2023) is a multi-sited auto-ethnography of my thirty-year involvement as a practitioner and researcher of Afro-Brazilian capoeira.
