Department of Anthropology Universitas Gadjah Mada invites all academic civitas to join the visiting lecture from Dr. Katharina Schneider (Katholische Hochschule für Sozialwesen Berlin) titled “Ageing and Digital Welfare on the German-Polish Border”

The lecture will be held on Wednesday, April 1st, 2026, from 15.00 to 16.30 WIB at Room Soegondo 709, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada. This event is open to the public, and students are highly encouraged to attend.

Abstract:
How do older adults perceive, evaluate and participate in efforts at digitalizing public services, especially those that are meant to support them in ageing well? Recent research, both on older adults as (non-)users of technology and on digital welfare, challenges the assumption that digitalization would provide an easy solution to population ageing, and to the economic, political and social challenges associated with it.

Department of Anthropology opened a new class with the title “Reflecting your Life – a turn towards Social Theory!”

Reflecting Your Life – A Turn Towards Social Theory is a practice-based class designed to prepare undergraduate and postgraduate students for academic discussions and thesis writing by linking social theory to everyday experiences.

Department of Anthropology opened a new class with the title “Framing Sustainable Tourism on the Ground : Perspectives and Imaginations of Residents and Actors in Watu Kodok, Gunungkidul”
