(Un)Learning and Indigenising Anthropology For Transdisciplinary Engagements on the Frontline" roundtable will take place at the European Association of Social Anthropologists gathering at the Facultat de Geografia Historia at room 307, 11:15-13:00 PM, 25 JULY, Barcelona.
"Knowledge rooted in the struggle of the unfortunate, flows from peripheries and margins to the center and becomes the source of prestige and recognition. The result opens its way to the creation of numerous projects and new vacancies marketed from the Global North asking to work on the Global South without legitimising it’s research partners and interlocutors as co-authors. Following Gayatri Spivak, we call speakers to share their experiences of unlearning one’s own (un)doings as we intend to explore the idea of unlearning one’s privileges and learning in terms of ethics. Observing a transdisciplinary movement towards claiming ownership over the making of new scientific languages within and beyond the discipline, we believe, there is a growing necessity for not working from one single expertise and therefore to open space for more relational research engagements particularly with researchers working at the frontlines of planetary challenges."
