Biography
Naomi Leite, Lecturer in Social Anthropology, received her Ph.D. in sociocultural anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley. Her research focuses on the social, cultural, and intersubjective constitution of self; social classification and individual performance; language and thought; cultural logics and modes of reasoning; lived experience; cultural conceptions of kinship and individual experiences of relatedness; and linkages between affect, identity, belonging, and exclusion. Much of her work explores these issues in the context of tourism, as a venue for sociality and transcultural identification, both in practice and in imagination. Her first book, Unorthodox Kin: Portuguese Marranos and the Global Search for Belonging (University of California Press, 2017), was awarded the 2018 Stirling Prize for Best Publication in Psychological Anthropology and the 2018 Graburn Book Award for Anthropology of Tourism, as well as honourable mention for the 2018 Douglass Book Prize in Europeanist Anthropology and for the 2017 National Jewish Book Award. Her second book, the co-edited The Ethnography of Tourism: Edward Bruner and Beyond (Lexington/Rowman & Littlefield), is in press.
