Marysia Galbraith (PhD UC San
Diego, 1996) is
a cultural anthropologist with research interests in national and ethnic
identity, East and Central Europe, and globalization. Her primary area of
study is post-communist Poland, where she examines young Poles’ (now in their
mid-twenties) experiences of national identity in the midst of democratization,
and the continued importance of kinship networks and personal connections in the
emerging capitalist economy. She has also investigated pilgrimage to the
Black Madonna of Czestochowa. Dr. Galbraith holds a joint appointment in
the Anthropology Department and New College.
She is also a potter, and has exhibited her work in a number of
galleries and national and regional shows. Her latest research views the
impact of globalization on folk craft, with a specific focus on women potters of
Bali and Lombok, Indonesia.
