Call for Perspectives & Workshops
Deadline: 30 April 2025
The WWNA 2025 will take place in Bologna (Italy) from the 3rd to the 5th of October. The event is coordinated in collaboration with the Società Italiana Antropologia Applicata (SIAA) and anthropology students from the University of Bologna, and co-organized by the Department of History and Cultures and the Department of Educational Studies (Università di Bologna) as well as the Department of Human Sciences (Università di Verona).
The WWNA 2025 will address the theme of “Creativity at Work”, understood as a set of creative processes, skills and methods that anthropologists put into practice to open up new opportunities in different work and professional fields. How can our (collaborative) ethnographic approach shape creative ideas and ways of imagining possible, even unexpected, work trajectories? What methodologies and theoretical knowledge are mobilized in the anthropological
practice that come into different professional worlds and organizations at work? How can anthropological creativity challenge institutional and bureaucratic constraints, as well as cross the deep-rooted boundaries among different disciplinary perspectives and professional knowledge?
In an attempt to discuss these issues, the edition will be characterized by the exchange of experiences, research and perspectives aimed at (re)thinking applied anthropology as a creative and generative site to address professional challenges.
Call for Workshops and Perspectives here.
