This anthology represents the culmination of a series of public discussions with some of the leading international anthropologists of today —organized by the editor, Sindre Bangstad—at the House of Literature in Oslo, Norway. Thus, it provides fresh and original insights into the lives and work of these leading scholars. It features conversations with Didier Fassin, Angelique Haugerud, Ruben Andersson, Claudio Lomnitz, David Price, Magnus Marsden, Richard Ashby Wilson, and Parvis Ghassem-Fachandi, in addition to an introduction by Sindre Bangstad and a preface by Thomas Hylland Eriksen.

Sindre Bangstad is a social anthropologist and researcher at KIFO, the Institute for the Church, Religion, and Worldview Research in Oslo, Norway. Bangstad has undertaken ethnographic research in Norway and South Africa, and is the author of Anders Breivik and the Rise of Islamophobia (2014) and The Politics of Mediated Presence: Exploring the Voices of Muslims in Norway’s Mediated Public Spheres (2015).
