Andrew GraanVisiting Assistant ProfessorAndrew Graan received his Ph.D. in Anthropology from University of Chicago in 2010. His research in the Republic of Macedonia develops a socio-cultural and linguistic anthropological approach to the study of political communication and contemporary forms of transnational governance. His broader research interests span mass media, political language and performance, public culture, international intervention, global governance and nation branding as well as Macedonia, the Balkans, and the European Union. Dr. Graan's current book project, Watching the World Watch: Political Communication and the Everyday Politics of International Oversight in Post-Conflict Macedonia, examines the practices and consequences of European and American involvement in the stabilization and democratization efforts that followed Macedonia's 2001 armed conflict. Attending to differences in the public speech of foreign officials in Macedonia and that of Macedonian political actors, the book analyzes how a gap between foreigner and Macedonian "regimes of publicity" animated new political and social engagements in Macedonia as political actors—and even ordinary citizens—negotiated the often contrasting demands of international and domestic recognition.
