Thomas Hylland Eriksen (born 1962) is professor of social anthropology at the University of Oslo. His fields of research include identity, nationalism and ethnicity. A considerable portion of Eriksen's work has focused on popularizing social anthropology and conveying basic cultural relativism in the Norwegian public debate. He has written the basic textbook used in the introductory courses in social anthropology at Norwegian universities. The book, "Small Places -- Large Issues" in English, is also used in introductory courses in many other countries, and has been widely translated. (Wikipedia)
