Masterclass- What Is Anthropology, and Can We Use It to Change the World?

Booking Deadline:

Anthropology, as a discipline dedicated to understanding human cultures and societies, often engages with issues of social justice and inequality. What is the role of anthropologists in the face of exclusion and oppression? Should they simply observe and describe, or do they have a responsibility to help fight for change? Drawing from my own involvement in housing struggles and anti-eviction movements in Birmingham, I will discuss how anthropology can not only document but also challenge the ways in which local governments and big corporations displace communities and contribute to new forms of urban precarity. A hands-on session will follow, where we will explore how anthropology can engage with our communities and support ongoing campaigns and movements for change.

 This event will start at 1pm and end by 3pm.
