A&S Faculty for Wellness
Collaborative anthropology
Jen Shannon, a Curator and Associate Professor, practices collaborative anthropology. The demands, activism, and participation of Indigenous peoples have shaped her practice and moved collaborative anthropology to the center of our discipline in North America. Collaborative anthropology is not only with and for Indigenous peoples, but they have been vital in shaping its development and prominence in the field. It can be practiced anywhere with anyone. Collaborative anthropology, and shared authority, often means her research takes unexpected turns-- resulting in her working on things she would never have anticipated... like leading video workshops, co-authoring comic books, and hosting a podcast!
