Dr. Archambault is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Concordia University and co-editor of AFRICA: Journal of the International Institute. Her work is based on ethnographic research in southern Mozambique and focuses on themes of intimacy, suburbanization, affect, and embodiment. Cutting across much of her research is an interest in how materiality and temporality intersect in the crafting of lives worth living. She is the author of “Mobile Secrets: Youth, Intimacy and the Politics of Pretense in Mozambique” (2017), and her recent work has been published in American Ethnologist, Journal of Southern African Studies, Critique of Anthropology, and City & Society. She is currently working on a book project on well-being and the cultural politics of sweat in Mozambique.

In the U-M Department of Anthropology, we explore questions about humanity’s past, present, and future. How are we affecting our planet? Are our political and economic systems just and sustainable? Where have we come from as a species, and where are we headed? Our mission is to advance and share anthropological knowledge through research, teaching, publication, and community engagement, and we are recognized as one of the best programs in the world due to the intellectual leadership of our faculty and our varied, real-world research opportunities for students.
