2025 EASA Multimodal Ethnography Network meeting on “Pedagogy and Communities of Practice in teaching/valuing Multimodal Anthropology” – doing it with Sensory Walks, Zine-making, visiting exhibitions, and sharing curricula and learning objectives across 9 European universities.
A great opportunity to meet up for an afternoon program with the EASA Media Anthro Network and VANEASA with parallel and overlapping discussions on future practice, theory and pedagogy in anthropology – generated and circulated in multiple formats to reach audiences and create impact. Also: An exchange with the colleagues from the research project “Multimodal appreciations” (HU Berlin).
