“Anthropology and/in Publicity”
Soeterbeeck, Ravenstein, The Netherlands, November 5, 2010

The focus of this meeting will be the dissemination of anthropological knowledge to relevant groups in the societies to which anthropologist belong and the societies where they conduct their research. The participants will reflect on the reasons for the underexposure of anthropological knowledge and explore ways to improve its dissemination and application in society.

This meeting has the character of a workshop with ample room for discussion following four lectures of 45 minutes each. Discussants are invited to take the lead in reflecting on the issues proposed.
