TAN Interim Meeting 2023 (online event/no associated fees)
New normalities? Rethinking educational practices in times of crisis and challenge

This TAN interim meeting is part of a series of online events preceding the RoyalAnthropological Institute conference on Anthropology and Education in June, 2024

We have conceived our Interim Meeting as an experimental space where ideas and alternative formats can be tried out and commonly explored.

That's why we have proposed self-organized panels whose themes have been drawn from the paper abstracts received by the authors themselves, according to an organization that starts from the bottom. This will allow us to consider the needs, concerns, experiences and hopes in our network. Also the offer of a round table, a workshop and an ample space for discussion, in view of the 2024 RAI Major Conference, has this objective: gather, exchange and discuss our experiences by broadening our horizon from Europe to the rest of the world. So we are looking forward to meeting you soon!

PAST EVENTS

Call for Papers - TAN Interim Meeting 2023: New normalities? Rethinking educational practices in times of crisis and challenge. In March 2021 TAN held the webinar “Teaching and Learning Anthropology during the Pandemic: Dilemmas, Challenges and Opportunities”, attempting to take stock of the situation during the height of the Covid pandemic. It provided a space for sharing and reflecting on how the current situation affected the teaching and learning of anthropology in different contexts and at different levels. Now, more than two years later, we are confronting a polycrisis (consisting of a combination of environmental disasters, the Russia-Ukraine war, a global increase of populist and antidemocratic waves, and energy crises, not to mention the continuing effects of the pandemic). In our upcoming meeting, we would like to re-evaluate the current state of affairs.
