Mariana Françozo (Campinas, Brazil, 1979) is assistant professor of Museum Studies at Leiden University and coordinator of the MA in Museum Studies programme. She is also researcher at the National Museum of Ethnology in Leiden working for the RIME project (International Network of Ethnographic Museums).
Dr. Françozo studied Social Anthropology at Unicamp (Brazil). Her PhD dissertation (2009), titled "From Olinda to Olanda: Johan Maurits van Nassau and the circulation of objects and knowledge in the Dutch Atlantic (Seventeenth century)", is a historical reconstruction and anthropological analysis of Count Johan Maurits van Nassau's collection of curiosities. This dissertation is now being prepared to be published as a book.
Prior to her appointment at Leiden University, she was a post-doctoral teaching fellow at the Department of Anthropology at Unicamp (Brazil), and a post-doctoral researcher at the Gotha Forschungszentrum (Erfurt University, Germany), where she did research into early modern illustrated travel accounts of WIC-employees in Brazil, Africa and Southeast Asia. She has also been a research fellow at Cedla (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and at Moesgaard Museum (Aarhus University, Denmark).
Currently, Dr. Françozo is working on two research projects. The first one is a comprehensive survey and historical analysis of collections of Brazilian material culture in Dutch ethnographic museums. The second one is on early modern ethnography and the representation of indigenous peoples in global perspective. It focuses specifically on an English seventeenth-century codex that contains colored depictions of peoples from foreign lands. For this project, Dr. Françozo has been awarded a Cedla Slicher van Bath-de Jong Fonds fellowship (2012).
Her main research and teaching interests are the history and anthropology of collecting; museum studies; historical anthropology; and South American colonial history.
