Bringing the Biennial Association of Social Anthropologists Conference to Birmingham in 2025 is a landmark achievement for us at the University of Birmingham. This is the first major anthropology conference to come to the city and it’s our chance to put Birmingham on the anthropology map. Joining the Conference Ambassador Network means I can get the support I need and pass on the expertise I am gaining through this experience.
