Award Announcement: Royal Anthropological Institute's Sutasoma Award 2012 awarded to Emily Pierini's research on spirit mediumship in the Brazilian Vale do Amanhecer

The Royal Anthropological Institute’s Sutasoma Award 2012 for outstanding research merit was awarded to ARC anthropologist Emily Pierini for her research The Journey of the Jaguares: Spirit Mediumship in the Brazilian Vale do Amanhecer. Her research, which is part of her PhD at the University of Bristol, looks at the experiences of spirit mediums in the Spiritualist Christian Order ‘Vale do Amanhecer’ (‘Valley of the Dawn’). Through intensive fieldwork in Brazil, she explored the process of mediumistic development and its therapeutic uses. The study also contributes methodological insights in relation to the reflexive use of somatic experience in gathering and interpreting data.

The ARC understands this recognition by a long-established anthropological institution as part of a ever-growing attention towards those aspects of human experience that we address in developing our ethnographic methodologies.
