Conference: “Un/Commoning Anthropology“
The 2025 biennial conference of the German Association of Social and Cultural Anthropology invites you to critically examine the possibilities and politics of un/commoning in the face of multiple crises, as they are currently being discussed for the sustainable and just treatment of our planet and each other. In light of current ethnographic research, the conference calls for new discussions about questions of what can be common – and to whom – as part of local, situated struggles that may also have global implications. At a minimum, this includes critical reflections on whether, how, and by whom anthropological knowledges, methods, and theories can or should be used to solve boundary-crossing challenges.
Location: University of Cologne.

The Panel “Commoning as a Healing Practice? Potentials, Challenges and Promises” at GASCA’s conference, explores Indigenous practices of healing as commoning to address the planetary crises. Healing, as well as commoning, is a relational practice linking different scales, such as individual wellbeing, collective rights, and environmental justice.
