Curriculum vitae

Jimmy Mans was born in 1982 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. A part of his childhood was spent in Curaçao. After attending secondary school in Geleen, this led him to move to Leiden in 2001 to study Caribbean Archaeology (Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University). There he com- bined his interest in archaeology and the Caribbean with courses on jour- nalism, courses in the academy of arts, visual ethnography and the Trio language. As a student he was able to participate in several archaeologi- cal fieldwork campaigns conducted by Leiden University (St. Lucia, Saba, Dominican Republic) and the University of Florida (New Providence, Bahamas). Both his BA and MPhil theses were based on film projects and the use of film in archaeology (St. Lucia 2004, and Saba 2006). After grad- uation in 2006, he was given the opportunity to start a PhD project in the Caribbean section at the Faculty of Archaeology (Leiden University). In this project he investigated the movements of the Trio on a micro-level in Midwest-Suriname (in the village of Amotopo) and the wider Trio move- ments in the Sipaliwini basin in Suriname over the course of a century. In 2009 he collaborated on a community consultation project at the National Museum of Ethnology (Leiden, the Netherlands) in which both Trio and Kari’na representatives from Suriname visited the museum to study their overseas heritage. Upon conclusion of his PhD contract in 2010 he was employed by the same museum as researcher on the Surinamese collec- tions. In that year another consultation round was being hosted by the museum, this time with Lokono and Wayana representatives, which was followed by an evaluation meeting in Suriname in 2011. He is currently working with interns and volunteers on the transcription of the recently rediscovered Penard Encyclopedia manuscript (on Kari’na cosmology), which will also be the subject of community consultation in the future.

Alongside his work at the museum, he recently started work as a postdoc-

toral researcher in the Caribbean section of the Faculty of Archaeology

(Leiden University), where he will continue his work on the concept of

mobility, this time in a more comparative setting.
