The 2017 EASA AGM will take place in Bern on November 16, 2017 and will be accompanied by a two-day seminar (16 and 17 Nov) entitled, On Politics and Precarities in Academia: Anthropological Perspectives.
We invite EASA members to attend the AGM and the seminar where we will discuss different strands of precarity, analyse sites of disempowerment at the intersection of precarity and politics and discuss potentials of collaboration, solidarity and unionization. The event is structured in three Workshops (W1 Politics and Precarious Lives, W2 Structural Precarity in Anthropology, W3 Transnational Collaboration Against Political and Structural Precarity) followed by a conference press ‘Let’s Give Voice to Scholars at Risk and Precarious Researchers’ that will disseminate publicly the results of this two-day meeting.
Özlem Biner’s (LSE) keynote will discuss the topic under the title: Production of ‘Dangerous Knowledge’, Violation of Academic Freedom and Precarious Solidarities in the Age of Authoritarianism.
