In Dialogue with Anthropologists series
Date and time: January 18, 2017; 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
Place: University Square Stratford, UEL, 1 Salway Road, Stratford, London, UK E15 1NF
This one-day conference is being launched as an ‘In Dialogue with anthropologists’ series to consider active engagement and potential to intervene in the conversation to bring about change on pressing socio-political and related issues. It facilitates spaces for anthropologists and other academics to engage with practitioners, policy-makers, media analysts among others on certain pressing contemporary issues.
The conference invites sessions and presentations on anthropological research, dialogue, impact and wider debates. It seeks sessions where anthropologists will engage with other academics, practitioners, and or policy-makers, media analysts and others. It also invites practice-based sessions incorporating text, visual material and other innovative modes of presentations to showcase the value of research and its wider relevance. It seeks position papers as well as ethnographic accounts. Research-practice posters are also encouraged by December 15, 2016.
Some of the pressing contemporary concerns include:
Debates on migration
Debates on HE and uses of academic knowledge
Debates on political events and significant socio-political issues including Brexit
Debates on the role of media and social media in empowering and disempowering people
The conference considers that ethnographic knowledge and practice offer spaces to reflect and intervene in these and other issues. It considers the spaces to continue conversations on scholarly research contributions and the spaces for wider impact
Organised by the Anthropology and Contemporary Worlds Research Group, UEL
