Anja Reid

Biography

Anja Reid is an anthropologist with expertise in historical ethnography.  His research interests intersect political and cultural anthropology, especially shifts in ideological boundaries of identities associated with senses of place, belief and value systems, gender, and cultural ecology.  Much of his research relates to the Asian region.  Specific issues include the complex dialogic tensions between cultural politics and symbolic representation.  My ongoing research into the philatelic archive broadly concerns stamps as an important, legitimate resource for short term and longitudinal research into agendas underlying symbolic appropriation for the purpose of visual sustainability of states’ and nations’ society, culture, politics and economy.  Herpublications reflect these links in a Mongolian context.
