We are living in a world of overlapping crises, but anthropology offers more than just observation... it offers a path forward.

This year at WWNA 2026, we are moving beyond perpetual urgency to focus on what happens next: imagination, solidarity, and structural change. 🚨

Watch to hear from our team about why this year's symposium is more important than ever. 🔈

The countdown to WWNA 2026 is on, and we’re back to give you another glimpse of what awaits you this year. 😉
You already know them well… our keynote speakers are ready to take the stage on October 23rd! 🎤

They will dive deep into some of the most urgent, critical questions of our time, exploring future imaginaries and a methodology of hope, addiction, conflict, and global crises,
borders, power, and patriarchy and the economies of attention in healthcare. 🚨

Over the next few days, we’ll be revealing the full lineup, along with the themes of this year’s workshops and perspectives.
Keep your eyes peeled! 👀
And if you haven’t secured your spot yet, now is the time to register! 🔗⚡

Brussels!

On the 29th of September, we are co-hosting an event about post-work futures, digital transformation, and the insights anthropology can offer into those processes.
Come join AAN's very own Dan Podjed and Anja Pogladič for this free afternoon of talks, discussions, and workshops. ⬇️

❓ What happens when work – traditionally the central source of our identity, sense of meaning, and belonging – is fundamentally transformed by automation, robotisation, and AI?

This interactive event brings together participants from the EU policy bubble, practising social scientists and citizens. Drawing on anthropology-based research, EU policy insights and citizen experiences, we will explore how communities navigate increasing job uncertainty.

Attendees will gain fresh insights into building people-centred support models for a changing labour market in the context of digital transformation, and witness the value of applied anthropology in shaping European policies.

📣 New(ish) team introductions! 🤝

We have had some changes in our team over the last few months and got to welcome some wonderful new faces to our AAN team! Meet Asia Bonciolini, Lamiae Zeriouh, Yakup Deniz Kahraman, and Michaela Ahonen.

🎤 Asia loves karaoke and is living proof that confidence and singing talent are two completely different things. Her enthusiasm is definitely louder than her singing skills (her words, not ours ☝️).

✍️ Lamiae is a morning person, and her early mornings often turn into little verses of poetry.

🏖️ Outside of his studies, Yakup loves summers, even the too hot ones, and he's been playing classical guitar since childhood.

🐶 Michaela taught Adobe Photoshop to her neighbour's boyfriend all summer long, just to earn enough money to buy a puppy from a reputable breeder. The puppy is now her 16 year old dog. 💕

🌐 Curious? Check out each of their photos to see their positions at the AAN. You can find out more about all of them, their research interests and their positions on our website: https://applied-anthropology.com/people
