Wim van Binsbergen is an antropologist. He is presently working on the theory and method of research on cultural globalisation especially in connection with virtuality, Information and Communication Technology, ethnicity and religion. Another of his projects, on 'Africa’s Contribution to Global Systems of Knowledge: An Epistemology for African Studies in the Twenty-First Century', provides a link between his research at the ASC and his chair in Foundations of Intercultural Philosophy at Erasmus University, Rotterdam, where he gave his inaugural address in 1999.
