Dear friends & colleagues,

The 1st Baltic Anthropology Graduate School (BAGS) will be held in Tallinn,
Estonia on the 11th - 12th December at Tallinn University. The event is a
two day symposium that will feature keynote lectures by anthropologists
based in the Baltics and practise-based workshops run by doctoral
researchers based at Tallinn University.

The theme: *Anthropological Solutions: Problem Based Research*

How is anthropological knowledge substantiated across different fields and
mediums?

A lot of anthropology owes its roots to discovering problems, identifying
discrepancies of power, and delimiting issues of exploitation. Often this
seems enough. However, there is a concern that ethnographic knowledge
remains on a descriptive level and does not often “speak back” to hegemony.

This Baltic Anthropology Graduate School event will provide a space to
discuss ways in which anthropology can produce knowledge that speaks
directly back to its empirical sources.This school concerns itself with
going over the terms of anthropological knowledge and its applications.

This school will feature speakers, presentations and workshops that address
different ways in which anthropological knowledge is applied in presenting
solutions to real-life situations. The school will be formatted as a two
day symposium. The first day will feature lectures by staff members
associated to the BAGs programme. The second will day will be structured
around a series of practise-based interactive workshop designed and
moderated by doctoral candidates and researchers associated to Tallinn
University.

This event will be of interest to graduate researchers and research
students interested in fieldwork, business anthropology, policy, as well as
in the areas of design and the creative arts.

The event is open to the public and free of charge, but registration is
necessary. To register click here
