معرفی
Brian Campbell is a Lecturer in Social Anthropology at the University of Plymouth’s School of Society and Culture (part of the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business). His research focuses on religious coexistence (convivencia), migration crises, and socio-economic tensions in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, as well as conservation politics in Malta. He holds a BA from the University of Malta (2009), an MA from the University of Kent (2010), and a PhD from Kent (funded by the RAI Emslie-Horniman Research Grant). Previously, he held a Research Fellowship at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology (2016–2019) and taught at the University of Kent, where he was twice nominated for teaching awards. His work bridges anthropology, history, and policy, examining themes like penitent religious processions, multiculturalism, and environmental conflicts.
Teaching includes modules on crime, coastal cultures, economic anthropology, and ethnographic methods. He actively supervises postgraduate research in areas aligning with his expertise. Beyond academia, his consultancy work addresses marine conservation and bird-hunting conflicts in Malta. Brian’s research documents Ceuta’s shifting socio-political dynamics, from its convivencia model to emerging right-wing movements, while advocating interdisciplinary dialogue on identity and citizenship.
His publications and projects reflect a commitment to ethnography’s role in understanding globalization’s impacts on local communities, blending historical analysis with contemporary ethnographic fieldwork.
