Abstract

The contributions gathered in this two-part series seek to explore further what it means to speak of world anthropologies and to work toward the “worlding” of our discipline (Papailias and Gupta 2021) through personal accounts from colleagues from/in multiple geographic locations. In November 2021, we published a Call for Complaint on this blog entitled “Blowing up the ‘World’ of Anthropologies: Speaking from Experience” in which we asked: How are global academic power relations reflected in the everyday experiences of anthropologists around the world? We are pleased now to present fifteen compelling responses to that question from colleagues, including many graduate students, based in Brazil, Canada, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Russia, South Africa, and the United States. The contributors share their experiences in the form of short texts, poems, and videos, while their languages include English, Greek, and Portuguese.
