Members
The network was established from the concern to reflect the rapidly growing field of public anthropology, and to further develop current debates around public-oriented anthropological research and work in Germany. For the first time, representatives of both anthropological disciplines – European Ethnology/Empirical Cultural Studies and Ethnology/Social and Cultural Anthropology, whose research is focused strongly on non-European contexts – are cooperating in an overarching network structure.
