Come join us in celebrating the diversity of research within Anthropology and our interconnectedness with other disciplines.

Tuesday 23^rd April 9-5pm

·       Come and be inspired by diverse presentations in Anthropology, Sociology, Human Geography, Psychology, Archaeology, Law

·       By PhD, Masters and Undergraduate students

·       From the Universities of Durham, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Northumbria, Teesside, York and Queens University, Belfast

Our keynote speakers are Dr Inge Boudewijn and Dr Sophia Valle-Cornibert. Both are early career interdisciplinary researchers based in Human Geography at Northumbria University.

Dr Inge Boudewijn is a feminist interdisciplinary academic, drawing from Geography, Sociology and Anthropology. She will speak about her involvement on the RECLAMA project, a decolonial, transnational feminist research project focusing on harnessing Afro-Ecuadorian women’s heritage. This project was co-designed and co-developed with Afrodescendant partners and peer researchers in Esmeraldas, Ecuador, with a range of creative outputs including documentaries and artwork. Inge will explore how heritage and oral history might be harnessed as a form of resistance, making visible and tangible the intimate connections between collective memory, territory and identity, while supporting the intergenerational transmission of these over time.

Dr Sophia Valle-Cornibert is a social and cultural anthropologist with experience across Human Geography, participatory action research, gender studies, and visual-ethnographic methods, within Latin America. She will engage in a critical reflection about participatory and collaborative research, based on her doctoral work with activist women in the context of large-scale mining in the Atacama Desert, Chile. Drawing on decolonial feminist research based on women’s oral histories and participatory filmmaking, Sophia will delve into a transparent reflection of the contributions and limitations of working along participatory and collaborative approaches. While the process and outcome of her research were significantly determined by the context-specific extractive dynamics, she aims to stimulate reflexivity about the use of creative methods that may transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries and promote engagements that extend beyond academic fields.
