Brussels!

On the 29th of September, we are co-hosting an event about post-work futures, digital transformation, and the insights anthropology can offer into those processes.
Come join AAN's very own Dan Podjed and Anja Pogladič for this free afternoon of talks, discussions, and workshops. ⬇️

❓ What happens when work – traditionally the central source of our identity, sense of meaning, and belonging – is fundamentally transformed by automation, robotisation, and AI?

This interactive event brings together participants from the EU policy bubble, practising social scientists and citizens. Drawing on anthropology-based research, EU policy insights and citizen experiences, we will explore how communities navigate increasing job uncertainty.

Attendees will gain fresh insights into building people-centred support models for a changing labour market in the context of digital transformation, and witness the value of applied anthropology in shaping European policies.

📣 New(ish) team introductions! 🤝

We have had some changes in our team over the last few months and got to welcome some wonderful new faces to our AAN team! Meet Asia Bonciolini, Lamiae Zeriouh, Yakup Deniz Kahraman, and Michaela Ahonen.

🎤 Asia loves karaoke and is living proof that confidence and singing talent are two completely different things. Her enthusiasm is definitely louder than her singing skills (her words, not ours ☝️).

✍️ Lamiae is a morning person, and her early mornings often turn into little verses of poetry.

🏖️ Outside of his studies, Yakup loves summers, even the too hot ones, and he's been playing classical guitar since childhood.

🐶 Michaela taught Adobe Photoshop to her neighbour's boyfriend all summer long, just to earn enough money to buy a puppy from a reputable breeder. The puppy is now her 16 year old dog. 💕

🌐 Curious? Check out each of their photos to see their positions at the AAN. You can find out more about all of them, their research interests and their positions on our website: https://applied-anthropology.com/people

📢 Lets talk about consumption 📢

Consumption shapes far more than what we buy. It influences how we form identities, build relationships, negotiate belonging, and imagine the future. Bringing together perspectives from anthropology, design, and cultural analysis, this conversation explores how meaning is created, circulated, and lived through everyday consumption - from the objects we use to the styles that define time and place.

At a moment of rapid cultural and technological change, our Apply Club panel asks what contemporary consumer cultures reveal about how we are learning to live, and how applied anthropology can help translate these shifts into deeper, more human-centered forms of insight and practice.
