Cristina Grasseni is an Associate Professor of Anthropology, Utrecht University. As Visiting Scholar and Department Affiliate of the Anthropology Department of Harvard University (2012-14),  she developed a comparative ethnographic project on Solidarity Economies in Italy and Massachusetts, funded by the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research: Seeds of Trust (2013-2014). She is the author of Beyond Alternative Food Networks. Italy’s Solidarity Purchase Groups (2013, Bloomsbury) and Developing Skill, Developing Vision. Practices of Locality in an Alpine Community (2009, Berghahn Publishers) which focuses on visual apprenticeship as a form of relational and situated learning. Her fieldwork with dairy breeders examined how technoscientific development and the reinvention of local foods into heritage items interact with local communities of practice.
