Red Emma’s

How has anthropology failed Baltimore, and what can it do now?The goal of this event will be to collectively map historic inequality, race politics, and disinvestments in Black neighborhoods in Baltimore and to envision more equitable and sustainable futures. Anthropologists will engage in Q&A with speakers after the discussion in order to think through how anthropology - and the university more generally - has failed. What will anthropology (or broader social sciences) do for the issues that are raised in this conversation? How can we craft a more holistic vision of anthropology that addresses the needs of the most disenfranchised communities and works alongside/in solidarity with grassroots organizers? Robbie Shilliam (Political Scientist, Johns Hopkins University) will moderate the discussion.RSVP HERE
