Note: The Anthropology Research Seminar provides a forum for anthropologists to present their research to an audience of interested and critical thinkers. We meet each Thursday of semester (apart from the first Thursday of each month). The talk starts at 3, questions at 4, and informal discussion over drinks and nibbles at 5. We meet in room 148 Level 1, RC Mills Building (A26), The University of Sydney. It is an open event: all are welcome.
