Albert Doja is a French University Professor (Professeur des Universités) in Anthropology.

He obtained his PhD in Social Anthropology in 1993 from the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS) Paris and his Habilitation in 2004 from the University of Paris (Paris Descartes University), the Sorbonne.[1]

He was elected in 2008 as a full regular member to the National Academy of Sciences of Albania, holding the first Chair of Anthropology.[2]

He is appointed in 2011 as a University Professor at the University of Lille.[3]

Research profile

Albert Doja is educated in social anthropology, and had expanded his research interdisciplinarily across social, political, and anthropological theory. His primary area of research interest is in sociocultural anthropology and is focused on European studies, mainly in the Southeast European area, using empirical and historical analyses of social relations grounded on fieldwork and ethnographic materials. His ongoing research projects may be understood as extending his earlier work on social organization, gender construction, identity politics, collective representations, cultural activism, and knowledge production in Albanian and Southeast European contexts. Among other things, he had extensively worked and published on interethnic conflict and wartime sexual violence, as well as on the anthropological study of religion and the instrumentality of religious movements as they are lived and practiced in different cultural and political contexts. He was also lead to explore the contemporary issues of intercultural dynamics of social norms and values, the ideological and instrumental foundations of religious meanings, identity transformations and international representations, and the sociocultural approaches to global political processes.

Among other assessments in the field of anthropology, Claude Lévi-Strauss wrote him a personal letter on July 1, 2006, in which he mentioned the "degree of deep knowledge" , as well as the "rigor and dialectical significance of his analysis", or even his "courage and foresight" in dealing with anthropological issues.[4]

Relevant publications are reprinted or translated into other European or Asian languages, including from French to English, and since 2000, from English to French, Albanian, Italian, German, Russian, Czech, Estonian, Turkish, Vietnamese, etc.
