Exploring Black Georgetown • Session 1, Anthropology Summer Salon
The Anthropology Summer Salon is a lecture and conversation series based on the important work of early career scholars and students from American University’s Department of Anthropology. Held bi-weekly, each salon is structured around a central theme, such as food justice, cultural heritage, and social inequality, and will feature the work of 2-3 scholars. The events are designed to encourage conversations and exchange of ideas between community members and researchers over tea and snacks.

Ethnography Coffee Hour • June 2025
