Boskovic has degrees from the University of Belgrade, Tulane University, and

Aleksandar Bošković was born (because he had no alternative) on 5 June 1962 in Zemun, in what was then called "FNR Yugoslavia." Happily unmarried and no children that he could claim to be responsible for. Spent some years in the so-called "pro-democracy" journalism (1983-1990), in the process working for the Belgrade Student and writing for almost all of the major (mostly Belgrade-based) Yugoslav magazines at the time. Later had articles published in Ireland (in The Fortnight Magazine, May 1997) and Germany (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 15 February 1997). Between March and September 1998 wrote a weekly column 'Treći milenijum' ("The Third Millenium") for the Belgrade daily Dnevni telegraf. Since 1997, interviewed by several alternative radios and TVs, as well as by Arkzin, Duga, Odgovor, Naša Borba, Radio Belgrade, Slobodna Dalmacija (the last one of these is available on this site), Politika, Radio Deutsche Welle, Uniforum (Norway), magazine Prestup, and Montenegrin daily Pobjeda. Most recently, interviewed by the Radio Free Europe, and appeared on the TV Mreža on 11 September 2008. Aleksandar is currently Director of Research ("Naučni savetnik" — equivalent to the full Professor in the academic world) and Head of the Center for Political Research and Public Opinion in the Institute of Social Sciences in Belgrade (Serbia). From October 2009, Professor of Anthropology in the Department of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade… Previously taught at the Universities of St Andrews, Belgrade (then Yugoslavia), Brasília (Brazil), Witwatersrand (Johannesburg, South Africa), and Rhodes University (Grahamstown, South Africa). From 2000, until 2010, Bošković was Visiting Professor of Contemporary Anthropology and Anthropology and Feminism in the Post-graduate Program in Anthropology of the Faculty of Social Sciences (FDV), University of Ljubljana. Most recently, participated at the IHJR conference in Opatija (Croatia), and chaired a panel on “post-Yugoslavia” at the ExitEurope conference in Zagreb. Finished the text of the lectures on history and theory of anthropology, delivered from 12 September until 24 October 2007 in the Cultural Center “Rex” in Belgrade, which – insh’allah’ – should be published sometime in 2010. His most recent published book is an edited volume, Other People’s Anthropologies: Ethnographic Practice on the Margins (New York: Berghahn Books, 2008) http://www.berghahnbooks.com/title.php?rowtag=BoskovicOther . The paperback edition of the book is coming out in 2010. Aleksandar discussed topics around this book in late 2008 at the anthropology departments of the University of St Andrews (3 October), University of Cambridge (17 October), and Brunel University (23 October). Sometimes blogs at http://passajero.blogspot.com Since August 1990, Aleksandar Bošković taught & lived in five countries on the three continents... Which also brought him an extraordinary array of wonderful friends, from the Canary Islands, to the UK, Brazil, South Africa, USA, Italy, Germany, Norway, Spain and Serbia… Appreciates Scotch malt whiskey (especially Glen Garioch, but Knockando and Isle of Jura are in the top three as well) and Croatian and Slovenian wines. Multiculturalism is OK. He accepts Vuk Ćosić's dictum of being a No Land's Man.
