Ulf Hannerz (born June 9, 1942, in Malmö) is a Swedish anthropologist known for his pioneering work on globalization, urban anthropology, multi-sited ethnography, and cultural theory. He is currently Professor Emeritus of Social Anthropology at Stockholm University.[1] He was previously Chair of the European Association of Social Anthropologists, Director of the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study, and Editor for Ethnos.[2]

Hannerz, heralded for the remarkable breadth and prescience of his scholarship on an increasingly interconnected world, ranks among the most influential anthropologists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.[3][4] For his contributions, he has been made an honorary fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, and elected as a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences,[5][6] American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Austrian Academy of Sciences.[2] He is also the recipient of a Retzius Medal (now Gold Medal) from the Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography and an honorary doctorate from University of Oslo.[7] Hannerz has delivered the Lewis Henry Morgan Lecture at the University of Rochester[5] and the Daphne Berdahl Memorial Lecture at the University of Minnesota.[2]
