About the Summer Salon:

The Anthropology Summer Salon is an ongoing lecture and conversation series in which early career scholars and students share their important work in a public, non-academic setting. Each salon features the work of 2-3 speakers and is based around a unifying theme. Speakers give individual presentations (~15 minutes), and speakers and audience members have time to dialogue and exchange ideas over tea and snacks.
