Francesco Vacchiano is a tenured Associate Professor at the University Ca' Foscari of Venice (teaching in Medical Anthropology, Anthropology of Africa and Environmental Anthropology), and Adjunct researcher of the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Lisbon. Trained in clinical psychology (PsyD) and anthropology (PhD), he pursues research and applied interests in the fields of migration, medical and psychological anthropology, European borders and boundaries, bureaucracies and politics of citizenship, societies and institutions in North Africa and traditional medicine in Mozambique. He has joined research and clinical practice in the applied fields of mental health and migration (ethnopsychology), carrying out his professional activity in Italy (Frantz Fanon Centre) and Portugal (Centro de Etnopsicologia Clínica, CEC-ISPA). He has made research in Morocco, Tunisia and in Southern Europe on some of the main profiles of the contemporary human mobility ('unaccompanied minors', refugees and 'victims of trafficking') and on the policies and practices of their inclusion/exclusion (results published in The International Journal of Migration and Border Studies, Research Handbook on Child Migration, Revista de Dialectología y Tradiciones Populares, Saúde e Sociedade, Journal of Mediterranean Studies and Children Geography, among others). He is currently studying the expectations related to activism and social participation in North Africa (preliminary results published in The Journal of North African Studies and 'Omran. Journal of the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies) and the relations between traditional medicine and psychiatry in Mozambique, as scientific coordinator of the action-research initiative Integra. Entre a biomedicina e as terapias locais: olhares cruzados sobre a Saúde Mental em Moçambique, funded by the FIAM programme of the Italian International Cooperation Fund (2017-2023). He has taught in programs in anthropology, psychology, social working, Mediterranean and North African studies in Italy, Spain, Portugal and Switzerland.
