Dzīvesstāsts/organizācija

Vieda Šellija Skultāne (publikācijās Vieda Skultāne) savu zinātnisko karjeru veidojusi Bristoles Universitātes (UK), kur līdzās lekciju darbam veic starptautiskus pētījumus medicīnas antropoloģijā. Latviešu dzīvesstāstu pētījumiem veltītā monogrāfija The Testimony of Lives. Narrative and Memory in Post Soviet Latvia (1998) ilgu laiku bija vienīgā nopietnā šīs nozares pētījumam veltīta publikācija angļu valodā. Starptautiskajā akadēmiskajā vidē atzinīgi novērtēta arī Viedas Skultānes jaunākā monogrāfija Emphaty and Healing: Essays in Medical and Narrative Anthropology (2011). Ar mutvārdu vēstures pētnieku grupu Latvijā sadarbojusies jau kopš 1990. gadiem, gan piedaloties starptautisku konferenču organizēšanā, zinātnisko rakstu krājumu redkolēģijās, publikācijās, kā arī lauka pētījumos. Šie pētījumi palīdzējuši veidot izpratni par dzīvesstāstiem kā neizmantotu resursu vēstures un sabiedrības pētījumos Latvijā.

No 2013. gada vada projektu “Etniskā un naratīvā dažādība dzīvesstāstu konstrukcijās Latvijā” LU FSI.
