About
巴勒斯坦权力机构
Paniz’ interest in anthropology began at a very young age. Her family moved multiple times from one continent and country to another and Paniz became consciously aware of her surrounding cultural structures, her own fluid positionality within each culture, and perpetual emic and etic stance. She holds a BA in Anthropology from Georgia State University with a minor theater. While working towards her doctorate degree at Boston University, Paniz has also collaborated with BETC (Boston Experimental Theater Company). She is interested in the intersection of visual arts and anthropology and hopes to bring the two together and enter the field of visual anthropology and ethnographic filmmaking.
