Because of the ongoing pandemic, the 16th conference of the European Association of Social Anthropologists (EASA) will take place as a digital conference, from July 21 to July 24, 2020. The conference program includes a number of panels related to the history of anthropology.

Instead of taking place in Lisbon, EASA2020 will take place online using the Shindig platform. The panel timetable is now visible online, organized by date or organized by panel. Panels will still run according to Lisbon time (same as BST). Attendees can join sessions by registering here.
