PAN African Strategic Studies<p>We are excited about the future of our testbeds in the physical/remote laboratory for Industrial Automation and Robotics.

Historically, these forms of the discipline have worn a cloak of liberalism tied to extractive academic institutions and government agendas that are structurally violent. The solutions offered for existing social injustices are typically produced using a top-down approach, framed and defended under the banner of humanitarianism.</p><p>&quot;When the scholar-activist Sol Tax conceptualised Action Anthropology in 1958, he advocated for a radical approach. One that would enable anthropologists to work collaboratively with organic intellectuals from local communities seeking to solve their own problems and control their own cultural resources on their own terms. Today, the children of Action Anthropology go by names like collaborative anthropology, engaged anthropology, decolonising anthropology and participatory action research. However, is our ability and willingness to intervene at the community’s discretion and, most importantly, direction still intact?&quot;</p><p>Toyin will be speaking in the <br />Daryll Forde Seminar Room, 2nd Floor of UCL Anthropology Building, 14 Taviton St, WC1H 0BW.
