Day 2 of #ASAOxford. So many amazing panels lined up today, including ‘Reimagining difference: diversity in anthropology’

Sarah Bourke presenting framework & recommendations on working for and with Indigenous peoples.

‘Doing research with, not to, indigenous peoples’

Indigenous peoples, not as the subjects, but as the doers of anthropology.

Sarahs wonderful talk ends with ‘stop disciplining the savages, and start savaging the discipline’. #ASAOxford

Wow. Incredible talk by Toyin Agbetu — ‘doing diversity, being diverse.’

“As a scholar activist I must work twice as hard to make sure my inclusion isn’t tokenism”.

First half of the presentations finishes with @ChloeDominiqueW. Her talk about being a working class anthropology student really resonated with me.

Quoting her friend, “you can’t go home, but you can’t make a home in the middle class world. You’re a tourist”
