EBEN KIRKSEY je americký antropológ, ktorého práca skúma zložité prepojenie medzi vedou a spoločnosťou. Jeho analýzy osvetľujú, ako vedecké poznatky formujú naše chápanie sveta a ako sa spoločnosť spätne odráža vo vedeckom bádaní. Kirkseyho prístup je charakteristický svojou schopnosťou prepojiť hlboké akademické vhľady so širokým spoločenským dopadom, čo čitateľom ponúka nový pohľad na kľúčové otázky našej doby. Jeho vplyv zasahuje do akademických kruhov aj do širšej verejnej debaty.
