Mennonites and Anthropology: Ethnography, Religion, and Global Entanglements

Mennonites and anthropology share a complex series of entanglements and this conference investigates all aspects of these relationships.

The conference theme builds upon recent ethnographic studies and reconsiders the ways in which Mennonites have imagined, embodied, and enacted their religious practice. It examines new ways to ask what it means to be Mennonite.

Dr. James Urry (Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand) delivered the keynote address, “Mennonites, Anthropology and History: A Complicated Intellectual Relationship.”
