The Antiracism Working Group is a transnational collaborative of scholars and activists. Affiliated with the of the Association for the Anthropology of Policy, the Group formed in late 2020. 

​

Over the years, we have been striving to create a thoughtful, reflective, critical COMMUNITY. 

​

Our work is guided by the following questions: What can an inclusive, transformative anti-oppressive and liberation-oriented anthropology of policy and anthropology more broadly look like? How does transformative anthropology “do” authentic reflection, reckoning, and rearticulation in its intellectual traditions, research methods, teaching, genres of production, professional pathways, and other practices, including and surpassing the acknowledgement, recognition of our own responsibility, and transcendence of racist, oppressive and colonial histories and presents? How can we nurture and celebrate alternate sensibilities that attune us to an anthropology that not only embraces but embodies a humble, inclusive, transformative, and liberation-oriented sub-discipline, discipline, and associated professional practices and pathways?

Our projects span five areas:

​

• Citational Justice

• Inclusive Curricula

• Representation, Recruitment, and Retention

• Mentoring and Support

• Alliances, Organizing, Activism, and Outreach
