'60 Years of Anthropology at ANU: Contesting Anthropology's Futures', international conference celebrating 60 years of Anthropology at ANU, 26-28 September 2011

ANU Anthropologists invite colleagues to attend an international conference celebrating 60 years of Anthropology at ANU (SF Nadel, as Foundation Chair in Anthropology, set out a research agenda for the Department in 1951.) This conference has been organised by the Department of Anthropology, ANU College of Asia & the Pacific and the School of Archaeology and Anthropology, ANU College of Arts & Social Sciences at the Australian National University.

The conference will provide an opportunity for:
consolidating work of recent years around the critical themes that have emerged;
debating the future directions of the discipline;
engaging as interlocutors our academic colleagues from related disciplines as a way of focusing on future directions.

Associated events will include an alumni reunion, film screenings, a display in the Menzies library (organized in association with ANU archives) and a series of Master-classes.
