Claudio Sopranzetti, postdoctoral research fellow in social anthropology at All Souls College and soon to take up a lectureship at the Central European University, has been awarded the 2019 Margaret Mead award by the American Anthropological Association and the Society for Applied Anthropology for his monograph Owners of the Map: Motorcycle Taxi Drivers, and Politics in Bangkok.
The award recognizes a younger scholar who, like Margaret Mead, has wide public impact with their anthropology.
