Dimitris is Professor of Social Anthropology at VU University Amsterdam. He studies material infrastructures ethnographically since 2004. In his most recent book ‘The Road' (2016) he shows that infrastructures are primarily socio-cultural entities rather than merely an object of civil engineering or politics. Until 2014 he ran the project ‘Crisis-scapes' studying urban spaces and infrastructures during the crisis in Athens. Beyond his academic publications he has co-produced 4 documentaries based on his research, whilst his work is featured regularly in international media outlets.
