    Art and Activism: Queer living in Jordan (Marie R.B.Odgaard)

    The 5th season of the Interacting Minds Podcast brings 4 new episodes from clinical anthropology to philosophy.  In this episode we have anthropologist Marie Rask Bjerre Odgaard as the first guest for this season. We’ll be diving into her research at the intersection of art and activism in Jordan, how can a researcher be a friend and what challenges do we face when trying to create playful and queer spaces for healing. ----------- Marie R. B. Odgaard is a social anthropologist who has spent the past decade focusing on artists and activists in Amman, Jordan. Her research explores gender and sexuality, ethics and morality within what she calls the “arts of living queerly,” the ethical dimensions of anthropology, and, more recently, playfulness and world openings in both artistic practice and academic writing. Her forthcoming book is an ethnography of the arts of living queerly in Amman. Odgaard (Ph.D., Anthropology, Aarhus University, Denmark) was until recently a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Anthropology and WGSI at the University of Toronto, supported by a Carlsberg Foundation Internationalization Fellowship. She is currently an affiliate at the Department of Anthropology at Aarhus University among many other things.
