Chelsie Yount earned a PhD in anthropology in 2017 at Northwestern University (Evanston) and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (Paris). She is currently the postdoctoral ethnographer on the European Research Council (ERC) 'Just Remit' project at Leiden University. Her work in linguistic and economic anthropology intervenes in central debates on morality in economic relations, offering a cross-scalar analysis of processes of value creation between global markets and households in Africa. Drawing on ethnographic research in Senegal since 2005, her work contributes to current research on the financialisation of development, the precarisation of transnational middle-classes, and on the processes through which children are socialised into moral-economic relations.
