Dear Colleagues,
We warmly invite you to join us and present your paper in our panel ‘Entangled Engagements’
https://nomadit.co.uk/conference/asa2019/p/7987 at the forthcoming ASA19 Global Challenges conference at the University of East Anglia. https://www.theasa.org/conferences/asa19/
A03: Entangled engagements: anthropology's holistic approach to the Global Challenges.
Short abstract: The ethnographic method provides manifold insights into how divergent areas of life converge and anthropology can holistically integrate the 2030 SDGs. Challenging the perception of a less-than-human nature, we foreground the discipline's role in sustaining global socio-environmental diversity.
Long abstract:
Participant-observation and the ethnographic method provide manifold insights into how divergent areas of life converge; and often unexpectedly influence one another. Equally, an entangled anthropological analysis destabilizes an isolated understanding of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Facilitating an anthropologically-inspired, socio-environmentally diverse model of the "sustainable and desirable economy-in-society-in-nature", this panel invites participants to reflect on how anthropology can support holistic societal transitions. We challenge the perception of a less-than-human nature and seek contributions that are able to convey entanglement, either through an ethnographically attuned understanding of complexity or through the development of a pedagogical method that communicates ontoepistemolgically-challenging insights, or both. We urge contributors to develop a communication strategy that collaboratively engages other disciplines or practitioners, project-leaders and policy-makers, to forward an anthropological understanding of the world that gives voice to all our fine-grained nuances. With anthropology capable of holistically integrating the 2030 SDG, we seek to foreground the discipline's role in sustaining the global socio-environmental diversity on which life depends.
