Jane K. Cowan is professor emeritus of anthropology at the University of Sussex. A specialist of Greece, Cowan’s early work investigated gender, dance, sociability and embodiment, based on fieldwork in northern Greece. Since the late 1990s, with a focus on the region and “question” of Macedonia, she has explored  the nexus of rights claiming and international supervision. Her work spans investigations of minority petitioning to the League of Nations’ Minorities Section and, with Julie Billaud, contemporary human rights auditing at the Universal Periodic Review. Most recently, she is researching the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF): specifically, transnational collaborations between WILPF and leaders of women’s organizations in the Balkans concerning minorities and the Macedonian Question. She recently completed her term as President of the Society for the Anthropology of Europe (2022-2024).
