20-24 November 2019: Panel at American Anthropological Association Annual Meetings, Vancouver

Wedding dresses

The presentations drew together projects from our AGATM  research on marriage in Botswana, Virginia, Malaysia, Taiwan and Greece, as well as a further project in Pakistan. Panelists suggested how, rather than merely responding to political change, marriage creates social change.
