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 up to three speakers. The events are designed to encourage conversations and exchange of ideas between community members and researchers over tea and snacks.
