Walking Together

Autorentext

Anna Bloom-Christen is an anthropologist with a focus on research methodology. Her work explores how individuals articulate togetherness, how attention evolves through shared action, and how knowledge is transmitted through embodied participation. She studied Philosophy and Anthropology in Basel and St Andrews and earned her PhD with a dissertation on racialized embodied experience of South African public space. Her postdoctoral project Divided Attention investigates attentional habits in divided societies. She also works with first-generation university students, engaging both with their understandings of philosophy and with how they experience its teaching and institutional culture.
