Annemarie Mol (2012)

Annemarie Mol (born September 13, 1958 in Schaesberg) is a Dutch anthropologist and philosopher and lecturer at the University of Amsterdam.

Mol studied medicine and philosophy at the University of Utrecht and was promoted in philosophy at the University of Groningen in 1989. Afterwards, she was a postdoctoral student at the University of Maastricht (with a Constantijn & Christiaan Huijgens scholarship from the Dutch research organization NWO) and in 1996 she became Socrates's Professor of Political Philosophy at the University of Twente (funded by the Socrates Foundation). In 2008, she became Socrates' professor of social theory at the University of Amsterdam, and in 2010 she switched to a chair for anthropology of the body.

In her book The Body Multiple, she states that body, health, and illness are not defined objectively, but are viewed differently by different groups in the health system and so different realities are also defined.

In 2012 she received the Spinoza Prize. In 2009, she received an Advanced Grant from the ERC, with which she examined eating habits. In 2013 she became a member of the Dutch Academy of Sciences.
