Paper long abstract
This paper will introduce the session and begin to set the theoretical and experential scene for engaging in activist anthropology in the global south. It will discuss the work of some of the key anthropologists working in this space, such as Stuart Kirsch, and the fields of enquiry that tend to be the focus of these unsettling methods. The practical relevance of the now widely referenced 'decolonising method' will also be explored.
