[close] Welcome! AnthroReads is a community of readers exploring anthropology through literature! From ancient civilizations to evolution, we explore books that uncover how people live, connect, and shape the world around them. Whether it’s an anthropologist’s field notes, a cultural history, or a novel rich with tradition and identity, each selection invites us to learn more about the shared and diverse experiences that define being human! This group is for anyone curious about culture, history, and the human experience. No prior knowledge of anthropology is needed—just an open mind and a love of reading! Join us as we discover stories that deepen our understanding of ourselves and others.

[close] Inspired by all the different ethnographies we in the Cultural Anthropology Programme at Victoria University of Wellington are reading, we have started an ethnography book club. The goal is to read and discuss an ethnography every two months. We invite all those interested in ethnography (students, anthropologists, writers) to join us. Cultural Anthropology staff will select and read an ethnography over the two-month period, then discuss the ethnography during the last week of the second month. We will post some questions to get started in thinking about the book. Where possible we will also invite the authors to join us in our online conversations. We will meet in person at Victoria University of Wellington for our discussion during the last week of the second month. If this sounds like something you are interested in, you are welcome to join us in person and/or participate in our online conversation. All welcome!
