Alexandre Enkerli — Curriculum Vitæ (PDF)

French-speaking ethnographer (linguistic anthropologist, ethnomusicologist, Africanist), coffee homeroaster, beer homebrewer, saxophone player, and human being.

Here are five of my key achievements:

• Taught social sciences and humanities (“ethnographic disciplines,” especially) at eight institutions of higher learning (in Indiana, Massachusetts, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Texas).
• Conducted formal and informal ethnographic field research in diverse contexts (Québécois families, hunters’ associations in Mali, homebrewers in North America, etc.)
• Participated in a large number of social networks (connecting musicians to social media specialists, baristas to homebrewers, engineers to academics).
• Played saxophone in a variety of musical contexts (from duets to mass band, from a Malian band to classical quartets).
• Written extensively about a wide range of topics (language, music, social networks, coffee, Africa, social media, beer, academia, hedonism, etc.).

The following post may also shed light on my background.

Un hédoniste dans l’âme et dans les actes. «Nous avons toute la vie pour nous amuser, nous avons toute la mort pour nous reposer.»
