In the EASA 2026 Conference programme, TAN proposes RT 17, a roundtable discussion on education building on the contributions of the TAN international hybrid conference which took place in October 2025 in Mytilene, Greece. About 600 participants were actively engaged, both in person and online, thanks to TAN networking with other world anthropological associations.
Roundtable 17 wants to further develop and discuss the anthropological themes and practices, in different international and local contexts, presented at TAN interim event 2025. The key question is: “How can these ideas and practices be developed to understand and counter polarization at different levels?”
You are invited to discover the richness and value of these contributions, which come from the network’s grassroots and will help us to plan the network’s future development.
The contributions in the book illustrated above cover a large range of formats (papers, roundtables, posters, video, workshops, performances).
You can see that eight tracks have been developed on a various highly topical educational themes: 1. Anthropology and its Public Presence; 2. Anthropologists Working with other Disciplines and Professions; 3. New Media and Anthropological Education; 4. Anthropology in the Pre-university Classroom; 5. Making the case for Anthropology in Education today; 6. Decolonizing the Anthropology Curriculum in Schools and Universities; 7. Rethinking Anthropology Education for the 21st Century; 8. Student Voices in Anthropology: “if we had our say…”
For some years now, EASA TAN has chosen to forge links with other anthropological associations which, within the World Anthropological Union, are forming an ever-wider network to tackle the educational challenges of contemporary society together.
