The ENMU Department of Anthropology and Applied Archaeology and Mu Alpha Nu present this event with
Guest Speaker Rose Wellman !!
Dr. Rose Wellman, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at University of Michigan-Dearborn, will be the guest speaker for the ENMU Department of Anthropology and Applied Archaeology’s 2021 Cynthia Irwin-Williams Lectureship. Dr. Wellman will speak on “Confronting Islamophobia through Ethnography”. She will begin by addressing the problem of Islamophobia as a form of anti-Muslim racism and then examine how an ethnography of everyday life and state power can lead us beyond the headlines to a better understanding of people's ordinary aspirations and lived experiences in our globalized world.
Dr. Wellman is an anthropologist who specializes in Iran and the Middle East. Between 2007 and 2010, she conducted 15 months of ethnographic research in the Islamic Republic, including 10 months in a small town outside of Shiraz. The result is her forthcoming book, Feeding Iran: Shi’i Families and the Making of an Islamic Republic. Rose is also the co-editor with Dr. Todne Thomas and Dr. Asiya Malik of New Directions of Spiritual Kinship: Sacred Ties across the Abrahamic Religions.
Her lecture will be presented online via Zoom at 5:00 p.m. MST on Thursday, March 4 and is free and open to the public. The link to the online presentation is:
