The School of Anthropology and Conservation will be hosting a seminar and ethnographic film screening on Migration, Displacement and Refugees that will be delivered by Dr Yasmin Fedda (Queen Mary, University of London) on Monday 4th November between 17.00 and 19.00 at Eliot Lecture Theatre 2 on the Canterbury campus.
In this seminar, Dr Fedda, visual anthropologist and documentary filmmaker, will talk about the use of film as a form and method for research on the topic of mobility with a focus on the experience of the displacement and migration from Syria in the following of the civil war. Showing extracts from her documentary films about Syrian refugees, Dr Fedda will discuss how the use of a camera during research can start discussions, provoke performances and reveal intangible realities of social and political life for displaced people in different settings.
This event is designed as part of the Anthropological Research Methods module as part of the MA in Social Anthropology programme and organised in collaboration with Professor Yvonne Sherwood.
