Biography

Charlotta Widmark is an Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer in Cultural Anthropology at Uppsala University. With a Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology, her research focuses on identity issues, power dynamics, and social change, particularly in Latin America. Widmark's work has explored the democratization processes in the Andean region, especially in Bolivia and Peru, examining the relationship between the state and indigenous peoples, alongside poverty and inequality intersecting with gender, class, and ethnicity. She led an interdisciplinary project on urbanization and social change between 2012 and 2015, analyzing how urban conditions influence social processes in cities. Her doctoral dissertation provided insights into the challenges of urbanization in Bolivia, based on fieldwork in La Paz and El Alto. Currently, she teaches courses in economic anthropology, religion, and academic writing at both undergraduate and advanced levels, including 'Ethnography' and 'Anthropology Practice.'
