We are very excited to announce that the book club will be hosted by Fiori Sara Berhane. Fiori Sara Berhane is a PhD candidate at Brown University in the department of Anthropology. She is a socio-cultural anthropologist with a focus in migration studies, post-colonial Italy and the political anthropology of Europe. Her current project investigates generational conflict within the diasporan Eritrean community in Italy vis-à-vis the migration crisis. She is 2019-2020 Fellow in Modern Italian Studies at the American Academy in Rome. Her work has been funded by the Wenner Gren foundation, the Fulbright IIE and has been featured in Lavoro Culturale, Africa is a Country, and Anthropology Now. She is also engaged in public anthropology and critical pedagogies; her work can be accessed on A Correction podcast.
We will (Zoom) meet on December 8th and will be reading Radical Happiness Moments of Collective Joy by Lynne Segal . Please fill out this form to reserve a spot. Space is limited to the first 15 people (we will have a waiting list after that). We are asking people to donate $10 to participate. We will use this money to pay the host for her work. We look forward to seeing you in December!
