Institute CPCA

“Build a good name. Keep your name clean. Don’t make compromises, don’t worry about making a bunch of money or being successful. Be concerned about doing good work. Protect your work and if you build a good name, eventually that name will be its own currency. Life is like a roller coaster ride, it is never going to be perfect. It is going to have perfect moments and rough spots, but it’s all worth it.”
Patti Smith

The objective of the CPCA is to address contemporary issues in culture and politics from an anthropological perspective. The programme is particularly interested in the intersections of 'culture' and 'power,' and the consideration of what may be called 'cultural politics.'
