THALASSERY: Anthropologists and anthropology students have been urged to take up practical issues in society and to shed its ‘elitism.’ Delivering a speech on ‘Anthropology and society’ at a function organised by the Kannur University’s Department of Anthropology on the Thalassery campus here on Thursday, Vinay Kumar Srivastava, professor of Anthropology at Delhi University, said that elitism had impeded the spread of anthropology as a discipline. Related disciplines such as urban anthropology and industrial anthropology had to be strengthened, he said. Prof. Srivastava called upon anthropologists to demolish the divide between applied and practical anthropology. He regretted that anthropologists were largely disappearing from public spheres. ‘Myopic specialisation’ would not be beneficial to anthropology as a discipline, he addedAnthropology Department head Vineetha Menon was present at the function.
