(Re)Defining Power: Paradigms of Praxis

The Eighth Annual Public Anthropology Conference

Join us for a conference that examines and uncovers various systems of power. New paradigms of praxis must be about more than making power visible.

We invite academic and professional anthropologists, social scientists, activists, public health professionals, filmmakers and educators to join us in this inquiry into power. We welcome panels, papers, and skill workshops drawing upon some of the following frameworks for challenging power – critical race studies, interrogations of the nonprofit industrial complex, anti-displacement, critical animal studies, environmental justice, education reform and policy, disability studies, activism-based research, and performance and queer studies – but we invite papers of all types and from all social justice movements.
