Seminars in the Anthropology of Travel, Tourism and Pilgrimage

"What are the conditions in which we will be able, once again, to conceive of a world in which Xenia, hospitality, can be recovered as a guiding principle of global, regional, and local social organisation? "
                                                                                                                    -Tom Selwyn January 2021

We are delighted to announce the 2023 cycle of the Xenia Series seminars. Started in 2020, as a response to the first spate of global covid lockdowns, this seminar programme embraced the more equitable access provided by online meetings. Branching out of the central trope of hospitality (Greek: Xenia), we have hosted monthly conversations on home, belonging, hostility, travel, tourism and migration with painters, novelists, musicians, museum and heritage professionals, and anthropologists.
