Camil Francisc Roman completed a doctoral thesis on the political anthropology of the French revolution in the Department of Politics and International Studies, University of Cambridge. He has a highly cross- and interdisciplinary focus on modern revolutions as symbolic and experiential processes of transforming modes of consciousness. Having lived extensively in four different countries and benefiting over a strong intercultural background, Professor Roman is interested in reflexive and interpretative approaches to the human sciences, with an emphasis on anthropologically and historically oriented theory. The long-term goal of his research is to contribute to our understanding of European modernity, inquiring into the multi-faceted and tightly connected phenomena of imperialism/colonialism, secularization and globalization and into the ways in which the modern political and social construction of human nature interferes with human flourishing and the possibilities of a life with meaning.
