Event overview
Perspectives on the meaning of solidarity and equality; sexual conflict and gender politics; evolution and revolution.
A conversation about solidarity and equality (today) with Morna Finnegan, Camilla Power, Kristen Kreider, organised by Marlene Haring.
Adults and children welcome.
Morna Finnegan began with Women's Studies (UEL) and received her PhD in Social Anthropology (Edinburgh). Her work explores gender egalitarianism among Central African hunter-gatherers and more recently the political implications of what anthropologists say about human origins. Camilla Power teaches anthropology at UEL and is a leading member of the Radical Anthropology Group. Her research is about the evolutionary origins of gender and culture. They recently collaborated as co-editors of *Human Origins: Contributions from Social Anthropology* (2017). They are joined by Kristen Kreider, who runs the PhD programme in art at Goldsmiths and is beginning research into the all-female community of Umoja village in Kenya as part of a larger project on Ungovernable Spaces, for a conversation prompted by Marlene Haring, artist and PhD researcher in the Art Department.
Public event. Everyone is welcome to join in with questions and comments.
