Bio: 

Anne-Maria Makhulu is an Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology and African & African American Studies at Duke University with additional appointments in Gender, Sexuality, & Feminist Studies and Innovation & Entrepreneurship. Makhulu has conducted research for over two decades in South Africa and is author of Making Freedom (Duke University Press 2015) about South Africa’s transition to democracy. She is also co-editor of a collection entitled Hard Work, Hard Times (University of California Press 2010), which examines African migration, the global search for livelihood, and questions of cultural resilience. A second monograph in preparation, tentatively entitled South Africa After the Rainbow and supported by a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship, looks at the rise of new social movements in South Africa—#FeesMustFall and #RhodesMustFall among them—against the backdrop of the state’s “capture.” Makhulu has published articles in Anthropological Quarterly and PMLA, served as special issue guest editor for South Atlantic Quarterly and special theme section guest editor of Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. She is a self-described: cosmopolitan, world traveler, in exile. Africanist, urbanist, radical theorist. Almost newly-wed, late bloomer, dog owner, food lover, and OCD-er.
