Biography
Stavroula Pipyrou has conducted long-term ethnographic research with minorities in Italy since 2006. In her first monograph The Grecanici of Southern Italy: Governance, Violence, and Minority Politics (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2016) she presents a theory of “Fearless Governance†– overlapping and sometimes contradictory systems of power, authority, and relational networks that enable the minority to achieve political representation at the intersection of local, national, and global encounters.
