<span style="letter-spacing: normal; font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-weight: 400;">The Annual Anthropology Graduate Student Association (AGSA) Symposium is hosted by the AGSA of Indiana University, Bloomington each spring.
The Symposium provides a venue for graduate students in anthropology and related fields to share their research with the larger departmental, university, and Bloomington communities. We welcome presentations from students at all stages and especially encourage
students to present formal conference papers, dissertation proposals, or works-in-progress. Additionally, to facilitate engagement between students and faculty, faculty serve as discussants for each panel. </span></p>

<span style="letter-spacing: normal; font-family: garamond, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-weight: 400;">This years Symposium is oriented around the theme of
<i>Relevancy(?) </i>in which we consider the relevancy of anthropological fieldwork, research, and the discipline itself. Anthropology often mediates between academia and the public sphere, keeping concerns of disciplinary and interdisciplinary relevancy fresh.
The intentional framing of the theme with a parenthetical question mark opens up space for consideration of anthropological relevancy, lack thereof, or other possibilities in-between. In what ways is our work relevant to our own lives and social contexts,
those of our interlocutors, and the larger publics with which we may engage? What constitutes relevancy in our work, or in anthropology or ethnography more generally? This symposium invites presentations of conventional and creative formats that somehow connect
to or reflect on the theme of <i>Relevancy(?)</i>. </span></p>
