The latest in the Anthropology Communicates series brings together four researchers who have successfully applied a disciplinary background in anthropology to the field of social and market research. Anthropology’s people-centric approach draws attention to everyday-life interactions and cultural differences – the varied ways in which we engage with one other, and the ways in which we place value and meaning onto the world around us. Join us for this RAI panel discussion on how anthropological perspectives and qualitative methods have been used to inform a range of sectors from tech to local government, to health, charities and business.
