Dear Phil colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to join a final reading group associated
with the ARC-Discovery Project Keeping Kinship in
Mind<https://keepingkinshipinmind.weebly.com/>m/>, based at the University
of Western Australia (UWA). The group will focus on the penultimate
manuscript of Relational Beings: Kin Matters in the Fragile Sciences, a
forthcoming monograph by project lead Professor Rob Wilson that Oxford
University Press will publish late in 2025. Our discussions will inform
final, post-review changes to the manuscript.
The reading group will run weekly in a hybrid format, commencing on
Thursday, December 12th with a break of three weeks for Christmas. All
readings, room details for in-person meetings at UWA, and Teams links
for virtual attendance will be sent to your email (after registration).
Meetings will be 1:30 hours long, starting at 2 pm Perth time. To
convert to your time zone, you can use this

Relational Beings: Kin Matters in the Fragile Sciences addresses general
issues about reductionism, ethnocentrism, the relationships between the
cognitive, biological, and social sciences?within the philosophy of
anthropology, especially in the study of kinship. The book integrates
insights from various disciplines often siloed in discussions of kinship
and sociality. The central thread running through the three parts of
the book--on relations, on incest and its avoidance, and on kinship--is
that we best understand ourselves as relational beings by recognising
biological and cognitive dimensions to kinship and our sociality. This
runs counter to much recent work within cultural anthropology on kin and
kinship.
