Marie-Claire Foblets

Marie-Claire Baroness Foblets is a Belgian lawyer and anthropologist and professor at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Leuven, Belgium). She is the director of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle (Germany). Her research interests are interculturalism, migration and minorities. In 2004, she was awarded the Francqui Prize on Human Sciences for her research on anthropology. She is a member of the Saxon Academy of Sciences and an Honorary Professor of Law and Anthropology, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Germany.

She invited Norman Finkelstein, an Hezbollah ally, to the Max Planck institute, what produced a lot of political protest and the Government rebuked the institute.[1] She already invited him when she was at the University of Leuven. Some called her therefore a fan of Finkelstein.[2]
