Heute ist der Internationale Tag zur Beseitigung von Gewalt gegen Frauen.
Laut dem neuesten Bericht des Bundeskriminalamts erreichte häusliche Gewalt und spezifisch gegen Frauen gerichtete Gewalt im letzten Jahr einen neuen Höchststand.
Es gibt gerade zu viele wichtige Projekte, die wegen fehlender Finanzierung zum Jahreswechsel vor dem Aus stehen: auch die einzige unabhängige Antidiskriminierungsberatung in #Brandenburg! Damit es nicht so kommt, braucht es Eure Unterschriften! 🙌

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:

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!

Unfortunately, and contrary to the poster announcement, André Thiemann and Andrew Gilbert will not be able to make it. We hope to invite them again in the following semester!
We will meet at 4.15 in the FU Seminar Center, room L113, and online per Webex, see www.polsoz.fu-berlin.de/ethnologie/e...
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!
