Workshop Existence is Care:
Health, care, and support structures in postcolonial contexts of high cultural diversity
The Department of Anthropology welcomes anyone interested in issues of care within cultural contexts to join the “Workshop: Existence is Care – Health, Care, and Support Structures in Postcolonial Contexts of High Cultural Diversity.”
In collaboration with the University of Münster (Germany), this workshop serves as an interdisciplinary dialogue platform, bringing together anthropologists, psychologists, and scholars from related fields. We will explore the intersections of health, care, and support structures in diverse postcolonial contexts, with a particular focus on Indonesia.
Through this workshop, participants will engage in discussions on the opportunities and challenges of research and collaboration within global knowledge frameworks and care standards. The sessions will feature speakers from various universities, both domestic and international.
