Over the past five years, ENPA has cultivated virtual spaces for early-career scholars and graduate students to exchange ideas, build connections, and co-create intellectual communities within psychological anthropology. Initiatives such as the Junior Scholars Community and the Works-in-Progress Seminar have sparked engaging conversations on diverse topics in psychological anthropology, helping to break down the barriers and hierarchies between disciplines often present in formal academic settings.
Building on this foundation, we are thrilled to invite graduate students and early-career scholars to our biannual pre-conference workshop, which will extend the sense of community fostered in these virtual spaces to an in-person format. This workshop provides participants with opportunities to network, share work, and receive detailed feedback in ways that traditional conference panels rarely allow. Participants are welcome to present papers intended for the conference or other works in progress they wish to discuss.
The workshop will accommodate 15–20 participants, each of whom will present their work in smaller, thematic groups. In keeping with the conference theme of inter/actions between psychology and anthropology, we aim to encourage dialogue within anthropology-related debates, psychology-related debates, and interdisciplinarity from the perspectives of junior scholars.
The pre-conference workshop will be a full-day event, held on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, as part of the ENPA Biennial Conference. We look forward to fostering an enriching, collaborative space at the pre-conference workshop. If you have any further questions regarding the Pre-Conference Workshop, please do not hesitate to contact us at juniorfaculty@enpanthro.net or wips@enpanthro.net.
