The Voice of Ghosts: Dead People’s Outbursts and Silences across Mongolia- Grégory Delaplace (École Pratique des Hautes Études, Paris)
Grégory Delaplace is a social anthropologist whose research falls into two distinct but overlapping registers: a regionalist strand rooted in Mongolia and Inner Asia, and a comparatist strand centred around phenomena of apparitions across human societies. A student of Roberte Hamayon, he defended his thesis at the École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE) in 2007, before taking up a postdoctoral position at the University of Cambridge (2007–2011), working alongside Caroline Humphrey and the Mongolia & Inner Asia Studies Unit. In 2011 he was appointed lecturer at the Université Paris Nanterre, where he directed the anthropology department from 2013 to 2016, and was a junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France from 2017 to 2022. He was awarded the CNRS bronze medal in 2015. He is currently Director of Studies at the EPHE and co-director of the journal L'Homme. His most recent book is La Voix des Fantômes: Quand Débordent les Morts (Seuil, 2024)
