The anthropopod and videos
The Antro podcast is a collection of various podcasts where we invite anthropologists from north to south to a pleasant conversation about their field of expertise. The goal is to convey anthropology in a digital format that makes it easy for people to update themselves on current projects in a busy everyday life. If you want to have the Antropodden on your ear, we are available on Spotify, Youtube and Soundcloud.
New anthropod out:

Both how different grief can manifest itself in the individual, and what it can do to those around us. Unni also takes us through an iconic anthropological journey of discovery in her career, in what can only be described as a "master class" in anthropological knowledge formation.
