Katarzyna Puzon is an anthropologist working at the intersection of temporality, heritage, science, and art. She has conducted ethnographic fieldwork in Europe and the Middle East and was awarded fellowships in support of her work. She co-edited Islam and Heritage in Europe: Pasts, Presents and Future Possibilities (with Sharon Macdonald and Mirjam Shatanawi, Routledge, 2021) and is committed to transdisciplinary research, focusing on the anthropology of time, critical heritage perspectives, and collaborative and participatory practices. Her work combines rigorous scholarship with creative media and interdisciplinary approaches.

As Senior Researcher on the project Towards Sonic Resocialisation, funded by the German Lost Art Foundation (“Cultural Goods and Collections from Colonial Contexts”), she examines the contentious heritage of sound and science, exploring ways to restitute sound collections and developing innovative approaches to engaging with the Lautarchiv holdings. Her current work builds on her expertise in heritage studies and her research on scientific sound collections.
