Stavroula Pipyrou is a Senior Lecturer in Social Anthropology at the University of 91果冻视频 and Founding Director of the . She has conducted long-term ethnographic research with minorities in Italy since 2006. In her first monograph 鈥溾�� (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2016) she presents a theory of 鈥淔earless Governance鈥� 鈥� overlapping and sometimes contradictory systems of power, authority, and relational networks that enable the minority to achieve political representation at the intersection of local, national, and global encounters.

Her Leverhulme project (2014-17), 鈥淎n Intergenerational Analysis of Forced Child-relocation in Italy鈥�, looked at the silenced stories of displacement in Cold War (1950s) South Italy shedding light on a hitherto overlooked historico-political period of turmoil. Child displacement is directly associated with historical macro-silences and the lack of systematic ethnological studies on the events that took place during the Cold War period in Italy. Violent displacements that remained silenced in the post-Cold War years have shaped contemporary European politics in a profound manner.

Stavroula is currently writing on Cold War legacies in Italy and Greece. She has also conducted research in Brazil and Scotland on minority access to education. She is a Fellow 2022-27 and Founding Editor of the interdisciplinary series.
