Wenner-Gren March-April Conferences

We’re pleased to announce three new conferences that will be held this Spring!

The “International Conference on the Genetics of the Peoples of Africa and the Transatlantic African Diaspora” will be conducted by the Institute of African-American Research at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. The conference aims to bring together scholars in order to conduct the first comprehensive assessment of genetic knowledge of African-descended groups on both sides of the Atlantic, with an emphasis on how such insights address contemporary health disparities.

March 19-20, Friday Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

 

The “European Human Behavior and Evolution Association {EHBEA)” is an annual conference aiming to create an international forum for theorists working on applying evolutionary theory to human behavior, with special emphasis placed on fostering collaboration between research regions (especially outside of Europe). This coming session at Durham University will be the fourth since the association’s founding in 2009 and will feature our own President, Dr. Leslie C. Aiello.

March 28-29, Durham University, UK

 

“Arts and Aesthetics in a Globalizing World” is a conference administered by the United Kingdom’s Association of Social Anthropologists in collaboration with New Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University intended to explore the shifting relationship between art, aesthetics, and anthropology in their widest contemporary sense and experiences.

April 3-6, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi
