Interviewers: 
Frederick Schmidt is currently completing his PhD in Social Anthropology at Cambridge with the title “Un-Contemporary Arts: Norms and Forms in a Greek Art School”. Based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork in Athens (2020-2022), his PhD concerns the imbrication of private and public educational institutes in the landscape of artistic education in Athens, and makes the case for a reappraisal of formalist methodologies in visual anthropological research.



Sera Park is Associate Lecturer in Social Anthropology at the University of St Andrews. Her PhD (University of Cambridge, 2022) examined the collective mourning and activism that emerged in the aftermath of the Sewol Ferry Disaster in South Korea. Her research interests include social movements and activism, the affective and moral dimensions of social life, and death, mourning, and memorialization.
