Jessica Winegar is a professor of sociocultural anthropology at Temple University in Philadelphia, USA. She is the author of the award-winning book Creative Reckonings: The Politics of Art and Culture in Contemporary Egypt (Stanford University Press, 2006), which examines the heated cultural politics of neoliberal era artistic production and consumption as articulated through reckonings with the legacies of colonialism, nationalism, and socialism. Winegar is also the gallery coordinator at ArteEast (www.arteeast.org), and a founding member of the Task Force on Middle East Anthropology.
