The Futures of Kinship poster

Description

The anthropology of kinship and relatedness has a long and storied history – but what are its futures?

What new lines of thinking, critique, and innovation are emerging? What futures might it enable for contemporary anthropologists and their interlocutors alike? How might these futures be rendered?

This workshop gathers early-career anthropologists whose work cover new ground in the study of kinship and beyond. Collectively, participants will reflect on the intellectual inheritances of the new kinship studies, their potentials and limits amidst nascent and ongoing lived realities, and emerging directions in the study of kinship.
