Today is #BeerDay so why not celebrate with this Berghahn Books classic?

Virtual get-together to celebrate birthdays of Professor Dame Mary Douglas and Professor Sir Raymond Firth, this Thursday! This Thursday, 25 March from 7:00 to 8:45pm GMT, two of our ‘Anthropological Ancestors’ -- Mary Douglas and Raymond Firth -- would have hit the centenary and the centenary + one-fifth mark. It's not been a year with much to celebrate, so let's rectify this Thursday evening, even if only online. As a result, a few colleagues have agreed to say a few words... in an informal and impromptu session; to reminisce on the intellectual and overall influence that either or both figures have had on their careers and thoughts. This isn't meant to be the Annual MD Seminar or the ASA Firth Lecture. Rather, the idea is for a virtual evening get-together. So we're aiming for a 'night in the pub' feel, with some time for Q&A and other brief interventions. Our list of presenters (comprising seven slots of max. 10 mins each) should follow the following running order: Henrietta Moore; Jonathan Benthall; Aleksandar Boškovi; Sarah Green; Adam Kuper; Paul Richards & Perri 6 (jointly); and Marion Berghahn.
