Othon Alexandrakis is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Anthropology at York University. His research focuses on resistance, social justice, migration, and childhood, with a regional emphasis on Greece. Over the past fifteen years, he has conducted extensive ethnographic research on political subjectivity, unaccompanied child migration, and everyday responses to precarity, austerity, and displacement. His monograph, Radical Resilience: Athenian Topographies of Precarity and Possibility (Cornell University Press), examines how Athenians negotiated the political effects of neoliberal austerity. He is also editor of Impulse to Act: A New Anthropology of Resistance and Social Justice (Indiana University Press). His current projects include Hidden Sites of Liminality, a SSHRC-funded study of migration and waiting in Italy, Greece and France, and the development of the Multisensorial, Multimodal Ethnography Collaboratory (M2EC), a research lab dedicated to advancing arts-based and multimodal methodologies.
