About the Anthropology Summer Salon
The Anthropology Summer Salon is a six-part lecture and conversation series in which early career scholars and students share their important work in a public, non-academic setting. The series began on June 10 and will continue to run bi-weekly on Tuesdays through August 19.
Each salon is structured around a central theme, such as food justice, cultural heritage, and social inequality, and features the work of 2-3 speakers. After individual presentations (~15 minutes each), speakers and audience members converse and exchange ideas over tea and snacks.
The series is a project of the newly established Public Ethnography Lab (Department of Anthropology at American University) in partnership with DC Public Library.
