Ana Artiaga

Ana Artiaga is a Lecturer in American History and Civilization at the University of Paris 8, specializing in ethno-racial politics and urban history. She belongs to the 'Imagining Communities' research axis of the TransCrit research unit. Her work examines white Americans' ethnic claims since the 1970s, ethno-racial belonging's political roles, and Boston's political history. Her doctoral thesis analyzed clientelism's role in integrating ethno-racial groups in Boston and Chicago (1933–1983).

Her research focuses on race relations, white identity formation, and the intersection of clientelism with urban identity politics. Recent publications explore urban coexistence dynamics between white ethnic groups and African Americans in Boston/Chicago, and the cultural politics of 1968 in the U.S.

She has presented at conferences including the University of Toulouse (2023, 2022) and the University of Chicago Center in Paris (2021). No explicit grants or awards are mentioned, though her active participation in academic networks indicates ongoing scholarly engagement.

Affiliated with the TransCrit research unit, her work contributes to interdisciplinary studies of community formation and urban political structures. Future research likely expands on post-1970s white ethnic identity politics and urban clientelism's contemporary legacies.
