主讲人简介：玛雅·格林（Maia Green）是曼彻斯特大学社会人类学教授、英国社会科学院院士（FBA）。她以批判人类学视角研究发展实践的政治经济学与宗教治理的现代性转型，核心贡献在于解构国际发展援助的制度神话与地方信仰体系的权力重组。她的研究覆盖东非（坦桑尼亚为主）、东南亚及英国本土，揭示发展项目如何通过“技术官僚仪式”（如参与式评估、逻辑框架）再生产不平等，同时论证基督教五旬节派在非洲的兴起实质是草根群体对全球化危机的另类适应策略。代表作《The Development State: Aid, Culture & Civil Society in Tanzania》（2014）被学界誉为“发展人类学里程碑”，剖析发展产业如何将坦桑尼亚塑造为“专业受援国”，而另一部代表作《Priests, Witches and Power: Popular Christianity after Mission in Southern Tanzania》（2003）则颠覆传教士中心叙事，重构非洲本土基督教的自生性权威网络。

Introduction to the Speaker: Maia Green is a professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Manchester and fellow of the British Academy (FBA). She is currently the chief social science adviser of the Department for International Development (DFID) and the research director of the Global Development Institute (GDI) at the University of Manchester. She studies the modernization transformation of political economy and religious governance in development practice from a critical anthropological perspective, with a core contribution being the deconstruction of the institutional myth of international development aid and the power restructuring of local belief systems.
Her research covers East Africa (mainly Tanzania), Southeast Asia, and the UK mainland, revealing how development projects reproduce inequality through "technocratic rituals" (such as participatory evaluation and logical frameworks), while demonstrating that the rise of Pentecostal Christianity in Africa is essentially an alternative adaptation strategy of grassroots groups to the crisis of globalization. The representative work The Development State: Aid, Culture&Civil Society in Tanzania (2014) has been hailed as a "milestone in development anthropology" by academia, analyzing how the development industry has shaped Tanzania into a "professional recipient country". Priests, Witches and Power: Popular Christianity after Mission in Southern Tanzania（2003）subverting the missionary centered narrative and reconstructing the self generated authoritative network of indigenous Christianity in Africa.
