\n\tDr Aet Annist is a social anthropologist, a\u00a0Senior Researcher in the Department of Ethnology at the University of Tartu,\u00a0concentrating on processes related to sociality in the context of changes. Her datasets are derived from diverse, often sisud fieldwork in Estonia and Great Britain which has brought her analytical focus to developing the concept of dispossession in its different forms (social, symbolic, ethnic dispossession and dispossession of the future). The new class relations which emerge from this setting, as a continuation of dispossession or in reaction to this, are also at the centre of her attention. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnnist\u2019s doctoral research at University College London focussed on the social fragmentation of the post-socialist centralised villages against the background of a British aid project. Her post-doctoral project at Tallinn University considered Estonians\u2019 migratory careers. She has been involved in several projects studying youth, most recently, within PROMISE, a Horizon2020 project led by Manchester University.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnnist has contributed regularly to Estonian media, to applied research for Estonian ministries and Parliament as a consultant, to art exhibitions as a writer and as an activist, consultant and facilitator to the activities of Estonian and British protest groups.\u00a0<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
