Hi! I am following the master’s program Cultural Anthropology: Sustainable Citizenship at the UU. Before this, I studied Songwriting at BIMM University in London and Brighton and completed the pre-master’s program Cultural Anthropology: Sustainable Citizenship at the UU. Coming from a small village in the south of the Netherlands, moving to the vibrant city of London is what got me interested in people and different cultures. 

I have always been a big fan of reading and writing, and since starting this course, I have really enjoyed learning more about anthropological writing. As Editor-in-Chief at SCAJ, I oversee the publication process and work together with the team, making sure everyone is happy and proud of the work we put out. The best part of working at SCAJ is being a part of an initiative that empowers students to share their work. 

My main interests within anthropology are sociolinguistics, socio-political movements, and gender studies. 

Hi! I am doing the Cultural Anthropology: Sustainable Citizenship master at Utrecht University after doing the pre-master for that program last year. I have a bachelor's degree in marketing, and after doing a minor in religion, I got interested in Anthropology. While doing the pre-master I fell in love with writing, reading and the academic world and the ability to do more with that is what drove me to join SCAJ! I also love that SCAJ is a platform where we can inspire each other, share our ideas and stories and be exited about each other's work. 

​

My main tasks are internal communications and managing editor. I am responsible for all the communication surrounding paper submissions and the reviewing process. I will also be supporting Sophie as managing editor, by preparing meetings together and providing assistance where necessary. 

​

Within Anthropology, I am mostly interested in human-nature relationships, environmentalism, more-than-human agency, and sustainable imaginaries. 

Hi! I’am a third year Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology student and I’m currently taking a gap year from anthropology and  following a minor in conflict studies and Arabic. Last year I was a reviewer for SCAJ and experienced through this work the importance of discussing and sharing your work as a student. For this specific reason I wanted to become part of this initiative and hope to show fellow students the benefits from sharing your work, reading essays from other students and discussing the topics. I would love to meet more anthropology students and exchange our knowledge and views. 

At SCAJ I’m a core reviewer and part of the social media team. I’m excited to be hosting review meetings and discussing all the feedback with fellow students. As a social media manager I’ll keep all the social media up to date and hope to ignite my creative/ artsy side. 

Within anthropology I am interested in many things, but in specific; conflicts with the focus on politics and materialism. 

Hi! I am a master student at Utrecht University, studying Cultural Anthropology: Sustainable Citizenship. I love this program and joined SCAJ because I want to become more involved in the anthropology community at Utrecht University, to learn from and be inspired by my peers.

At SCAJ I’m a core reviewer, so I host meetings with reviewers in which we discuss submissions and give feedback on them. I am also part of the Fieldnotes team, in which we review short articles for the website.

My interests within anthropology lie around sustainability and environmental topics, and through the SCIM master I have also become very interested in non-human/more-than-human anthropology.

Hi! I am a fourth year Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology Student at Utrecht University. I have followed a lot of non-Anthropology courses, and this made me realize that I love anthropology. Through SCAJ, I can be more involved with anthropology students and read more anthropology papers. I think SCAJ is a beautiful platform for students to make their papers be more appreciated. As students, we can write beautiful and very important papers that should not only be read by teachers. SCAJ ensures that our work can be read by the world.

I am a core reviewer for SCAJ. This means that I host meetings with other reviewers to discuss and assess the submitted papers. I am also social media manager, which means I promote SCAJ through posts on social media.

My personal interest with anthropology is mainly focused on conflict, power, and politics. However, anthropology can make almost anything interesting.

Hi! I am currently in my fourth year of the Cultural Anthropology bachelor at Utrecht University. During these four years, I have completed minors in Conflict Studies and International Relations, which have made me realize that I love to combine anthropology with different disciplines such as history and political science. Working at SCAJ, I hope to inspire and encourage anthropology students to share their work with a broader audience. 

As a member of the SCAJ team I will be responsible for the design process of the publications. 

My personal interests within anthropology are changing constantly, but throughout my bachelor’s degree I have mostly focused on politics, power, conflict and gender studies.

This year I begin my third year of the Bachelor of Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology at Utrecht University.  After my Erasmus exchange past semester I realized I wanted to do more with anthropology. More importantly, I wanted to be part of a practical matter in the field of anthropology. Which is why I joined SCAJ, a platform where I can help make students feel relevant and guide their work  to reach beyond the eyes of a professor.

At SCAJ I am part of the Fieldnotes team and fulfill the role of event manager. As event manager I organize our publication events of the journal, plus the extra events apart from the journal. As Fieldnotes reviewer I review with my team members the short articles which will be uploaded on our website.

My personal interests within anthropology are not definite yet (if they ever will be). Though, at the time of writing I am most interested in domains as international relations, politics, visual anthropology, but also theories as postmodernism/poststructuralism, (post-)colonialism and constructivism.

Hi! I graduated from the Master Conflict Studies at Utrecht University last August, following my Cultural Anthropology Bachelor. It has been interesting to see how I can apply anthropological notions in my further studies, but also in my daily life. Although I am still unsure about what my future holds, I know this will continue to stay true.

I have been with SCAJ since 2020, and it has been wonderful to see it grow into the organisation that it is now. I joined SCAJ because I wanted to be part of an initiative where knowledge is made accessible to everyone. It is important to me that students can learn from and with each other and feel valued for the work that they have done and the effort they put into creating the finished product, whatever that may be. This still holds true, and I cannot wait to see how it develops further. I am now part of the Advisory Board and a trust contact.

My interests within anthropology are diverse and I am passionate about (too) many things. My main ones however are intercultural communication, ethics and conflict (which is likely not a surprise).

I graduated from the Bachelor Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology in 2023 at Utrecht University with both a minor in Youth Studies and Conflict Studies. I am currently doing the Master Humanitarian Action and Conflict at Uppsala University in Sweden, after which I want to pursue practical experience in the humanitarian field. I joined SCAJ in 2021, because I really support the idea of an inclusive platform where we can all learn from each other by making knowledge accessible for everyone.

After being part of the selection committee and the core team for several years, I currently hold a position on the advisory board and can be approached as a trust contact. 

My personal interests within anthropology are mainly focused on the topics of (violent) conflict, youth and humanitarian action, but also on topics related to gender, power and identity.  

In the summer of 2023, I finished the Cultural Anthropology bachelor's at Utrecht University. After this, I decided to follow the master Youth Development and Social Change because I find adolescence a very crucial and interesting period. At the moment, I am working in a store and looking for a job related to my studies.

I decided to become a part of SCAJ because I really like that it creates a platform for students to share their work that otherwise wouldn’t be seen.  Furthermore, the fact that SCAJ is a student-led journal also attracts me. Being the part of the Advisory Board makes me able to support the current team in whatever way is necessary. I am also a trusted contact.

Within anthropology I am interested in a lot of subjects, but gender interests me the most which is why I have done the Gender Studies minor. Specifically, I am interested in sexuality and sex education after doing a project about it. Besides this I am also interested in youth culture, migration, and integration.

I graduated from University College Utrecht last June with a BA in Liberal Arts & Sciences, majoring in anthropology and political science. This year, I'm working for the Spanish Red Cross, in an immigrant and refugee centre in Madrid. I plan to pursue an MA in Migration Studies in the upcoming year!

I decided to join SCAJ because it offers a platform to amplify our anthropological thoughts to the wider public while working with like-minded students passionate about what they do. I started off in SCAJ as an external affairs officer and later transitioned into the Managing Editor. Both roles were incredibly stimulating and an amazing opportunity to explore the ins and outs of academic anthropological writing. This year, I have become a part of the Advisory Board.

My main area of interest within the field of anthropology is migration, a topic at the forefront of contemporary global dynamics. I also love reading about religion, art, and material culture on the side!
