Research groups

Human-made toxic threats have become important to social anthropology. At Department of Social Anthropology, we come to toxicity from various perspectives.

This group seeks to ethnographically explore the performative effect of ascribing ‘dependence’ to others as a means of politically shaping the world we live in.

‘Forms of Ethnography’ is an attempt to foster experimentation with the form of ethnographic work, including but not limited to writing, photo and film, exhibitions, book design, drawing, performance, conceptual art, dance, collaborative practice, across our department and involving colleagues from elsewhere.
