Gestern protestierten unsere Studierenden bei einer Sitzung des akad. Senats gegen die Kürzungspläne der FU Berlin, die unser Institut für Sozial- und Kulturanthropologie unverhältnismäßig hart treffen würden. Vielen Dank an alle, die sich solidarisiert haben. It means a lot! 💜✊

Join us on Wed., June 18th, for Esra Özyürek's talk on her book "Subcontractors of Guilt: Holocaust Memory and Muslim Belonging in Post-War Germany" at FU Berlin or online. Much looking forward to a timely debate!

Last week, we learnt that our university management is planning to cut our 3rd professorship in Social & Cult. Anthropology. This would have fatal consequences for our Institute at the FU Berlin and our discipline in the German speaking countries. We will struggle against this and hope for support!

At a time when there is a shift to right-wing and authoritarian forces and an increasing hostility towards the social sciences and humanities, social and cultural anthropology is more important than ever:

Wir waren hier! Anthros der FU #Berlin sind #unkürzbar

Shocked and saddened by the news of Michael Buroway's tragic death. I remember my excitement while reading Global Ethnography in summer 2003, a book that had a profound impact on my PhD project. R.I.P. Michael!

Join us this Wed. Jan. 29 for a talk on Christof Lammer's "Performing State Boundaries: Food Networks, Democratic Bureaucracy and China," with Quirin Rieder as the discussant. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, the book questions the taken-for-granted notion of blurred boundaries.

What's the role of sacred sites in conflict-ridden state border areas in Israel/Palestine and India/Pakistan? On Wed., Dec. 11, 4 pm Prof. Nurit Stadler will give a timely talk in our Dept. Seminar. Join us @FU_Berlin or online.

Delighted to present you with "5 Questions to Svati P. Shah" @anthrodesires.bsky.social. It is the first post to appear in our new "5 Questions to"-format, which aims at promoting the work of exciting scholars in the field of Queer Anthropology. Enjoy reading!
