This round-table asks what are the effects of precarity on the very nature of our profession and discipline. It also raises questions about the role of anthropology in the face of academic precarisation. Some questions to be addressed are:
- How precarisation of the academic profession has reshaped (or not) academic training in anthropology?
- Has precarity brought new ethical, epistemological and/or methodological developments for anthropological research?
- Can anthropology as a discipline better address or challenge precarisation of academia?
- What are the possible contributions of anthropology for the public debate and political actions against precarisation?
- What is the role of professional associations – at the national, regional and global levels – in a much broader process of precarisation of academic life?
