Dear colleagues
At Sussex University we are organising a series of online workshops on Methodologies in the Anthropology of Ethics on the 14th, 18th and 21st of December (3-6 pm UK time). We have three panels of fantastic speakers, exploring insights from phenomenological anthropology, cognitive anthropology and the anthropology of the everyday.
See workshop sessions below, and a detailed programme attached.
Thanks!
