EIHS Workshop: Technologies of Movement and Belonging
(Series: Celebrating 30 Years of the Doctoral Program in Anthropology and History)
As we travel through a world that moves ever more rapidly around us, how and where do we build and maintain senses of belonging? Showcasing work of graduate students researching contemporary media environments in south India, the Nigerianization of the hajj, and how road construction shaped governance in Palestine, this workshop engages critical questions about how power manifests in the ways people move, how movement shapes our social worlds, and how community bonds and notions of selfhood develop as we navigate changing technological environments.
