Lorenzo Cañás Bottos

About

I studied at the University of Buenos Aires (Lic., 1998) and the University of Manchester (MA, 1999; PhD, 2004). Following a postdoctoral position at University College Dublin (2004-2006), I moved to Tallinn, where I established the Baltic region's first Department of Sociocultural Anthropology and served as Estonia's first Chaired Professor of Sociocultural Anthropology (2006-2009). I joined NTNU in 2009, where I am currently Professor of Social Anthropology.

Research

I work at the intersection of political anthropology, migration studies, and the anthropology of food, exploring how different forms of coexistence are constituted, maintained, and contested. My current research examines the making of cosmopolitan networks and practices of belonging among Syrian and Lebanese immigrants and their descendants in Argentina, tracing how cultural practices—from food preparation to dance—become vehicles for negotiating identity across generations and national boundaries. Alongside this, I participate in a visual anthropology project investigating the social and cultural life of the Iberian pig (pata negra) in Extremadura, Spain, which examines the entanglements between humans, animals, and landscapes in the production of heritage foods.

My earlier work focused on Old Colony Mennonites in Bolivia and Argentina, analyzing their trans-statal community formation, religious conflict, and negotiations with modernity. I have also conducted research on ethno-national identity and borders in Ireland and Northern Ireland, examining how territorial and symbolic boundaries shape processes of identification and belonging.

I am committed to the pedagogical dimensions of anthropology and have co-edited *Educating Anthropologists in the Contemporary World* (2026), which examines how the discipline is taught and reproduced across different institutional and cultural contexts.

Temporalities of mobility and migration

Publications

Educating Anthropologists in the Contemporary World: Rethinking Teaching, Learning, and Disciplinary Boundaries

Education is arguably the central arena where the discipline of anthropology is reproduced, challenged, and renewed. This volume examines how anthropology is taught and transformed in diverse institutional and socio-political contexts worldwide.

Old Colony Mennonites in Argentina and Bolivia Nation Making, Religious Conflict and Imagination of the Future

This volume challenges received images of Old Colony Mennonites as ‘living in the past' or perfect examples of community.

Cosmopolitan Networks. A special Issue of Anthropological Forum

This special issue brings together eight case studies that provide ethnographically grounded explorations of the articulation of cosmopolitan perspectives with networking practices.
