Past Event: On Our Own Terms: Aja M. Lans

On Our Own Terms: Black Perspectives in Anthropology hosted by Yale Anthropology and African American Studies. Named after Leith Mullings’ book of the same name, the colloquia highlights Black anthropologists who transform and “push the boundaries of paradigms steeped in racism, sexism, ethnocentrism, and cold contempt” (1997, xii). The ethnographic, methodological, and theoretical work of these scholars highlight the interdisciplinary rigor of African American and Black Feminist anthropology. 

This event features a talk by Aja M. Lans, Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University.
