Deppy Keranidou is a Greek student pursuing a Master's degree in Cultural Anthropology. She is interested in how marginalized groups can integrate into society through creative means like art. Her case study will examine how art can provide minorities and refugees opportunities to express themselves and engage with the community. Anthropologists can contribute by understanding different cultures, bridging gaps between marginalized people and society, and making these integration initiatives more visible and feasible through practices like policymaking, consulting, and engaging stakeholders. The anthropologist's role is to both understand the history and context that led to marginalization, and to facilitate connections between marginalized groups and the spaces and resources available to help them actively participate in society.
UEP's Manchester-Salford case study informs Abi Gilmore's reflections on methods. In particular, Abi offers an account of a complex participatory project in Cheetham Park, Manchester which was a collaboration between the Manchester Jewish Museum, an artist-in-residence, University researchers, and participants from local community and stakeholder groups.
Susan Oman presents paradata from her nationwide focus groups on well-being. These data suggest that everyday conversations offer the same well-being effects as more formal participation methods, and by extension indicate that research and evaluations which assume the social effects of certain forms of cultural participation are currently overreaching in their claims.

Moving Convergence Culture Beyond ‘Speculative Fiction’ to Grounded Experienc...University of Sydney
Williams has noted the role of cultural studies is “the making of society” which “requires the finding of common meanings and direction” (Williams 1958: 93). Cultural studies as a (non) discipline has arguably spawned an array of emerging disciplines including the creative industries, which to some extent encompasses convergence cultures. Recent humanities scholarship has called for researchers to move beyond the marvel of convergence cultures as a form of cultural studies with its potential for increased social inclusion and cultural diversity, to a more nuanced understanding of participation. Participation in this instance may be mobilised by an increased capacity for economic or political gain, or, more likely, to satisfy the increase in the attention economy addressed through networked individualism. Given this provocation to extend our understanding of convergence culture beyond the “80 per cent speculative fiction” (Turner 2011) argument, scholars within the cultural studies discipline should be looking towards grounded approaches of audience participation within the media and communication sectors. The provocation also poses the question, is convergence culture an adequate framework to investigate the increasing political engagement alongside the increasing individualisation of mass communication?
Jenkins (2013) recently commented, “cultural scholars from varied traditions have much to learn from each other if we can move past a history of internal culture wars and towards a more productive dialogue that balances critique and advocacy” (p 2). The data in this paper seeks to satisfy that balance through the findings of a three-year ethnographic research project that investigated participatory cultures at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), specifically ABC Pool (www.abc.net.au/pool). The data emerges from practice-based research and suggests participation does impact on greater democratic processes, however it is the work of the cultural intermediary that facilitates this process. Finally, this paper seeks to consolidate the convergence culture framework as a suitable approach to understand the broader policy and regulation disciplines.
Extremely large data sets that may be analysed computationally to reveal patterns, trends, and associations, especially relating to human behavior and interactions.

Do you understand the reason behind your child’s behavior? Many parents and teachers fail to understand the in-depth reason behind a child’s behavior. It is not the fault of you or the child. The child fails to express and you fail to read between the silences. We get so busy and machine types that we face failure to adapt our coaching techniques as per the situation.

WHAT ANTHROPOLOGISTS CAN CONTRIBUTE
1. “WHAT ANTHROPOLOGISTS CAN CONTRIBUTE?”
By Deppy Keranidou
20/10/2016
Dear sir or madam, I am Deppy Keranidou a student from Greece that currently is
doing a Master’s degree in Cultural Anthropology; Sustainable Citizenship.
Since I was very little I have always been deeply interested in the “otherness” and
different cultures as a whole. Despite being brought up within typical Greek cultural
surroundings , when later on started travelling and exploring this world I realized
how difficult sometimes it is for certain peoples and communities to fit in the dry
world led by profits, corporate powers and western dominant ideas.
Therefore, what I questioned myself was “How can we (as people) integrate in this
world through creative pathways?” Social integration through arts will therefore be
my case study for the following months representing a productive agency for
minorities and marginalized actors to express themselves.
Migrants, refugees, minorities and marginalized people are given the opportunity
to communicate, express themselves and get involved in the broader community
and share their own stories through laboratories and initiatives by using public
spaces (such as squares, parks) ,artistic spaces (exhibition centers/ libraries
/museums) as well as universities for a deeper connection and externalization.
“The purpose of anthropology is to make the world safe for human differences.”
Ruth Benedict. This is a deeply inspiring quote of Ruth Benedict an
American anthropologist revealing that anthropologists should be skilled with open
mindedness to comprehend this world with its particular characteristics and variations.
On that matter, an anthropologist is a key person that can contribute to the social
integration of these people by engaging in his actions tools such as policy- making,
consultancy, coaching- mentoring and practices to involve other stakeholders. By
and large, it is remarkable to point out that an anthropological view and
participation is essential to make such initiatives more visible as well as feasible. I
will further analyze this key contribution under a multifaceted scale.
2. First of all, it is pretty significant for a case that is being examined, to equally pay
attention to its background and history so as to be able to design the patterns and
methodologies of actions over the matters that an anthropologist approaches. Thus,
in the core of the research lies the study of how the current situation of these
societies emerges, what has brought them in these specific Umwelt in terms of
Cultural, Social, Economic, Psychological and Political aspects. In concrete, as
anthropologists we are called to examine all the historical background of the societal
surroundings that led these people “On the move” since every human being of the
world has their own story that shaped their culture, lifestyle, mentality and identity.
This can be achieved through interviews to the people in interest, participant
observation on the specific populations to examine their typical –cultural
characteristics that will result in a better communication and vision on behalf of the
anthropologist.
During the study of these human beings’ background the anthropologist gains
plenty of skills, knowledge ,experience and materials that will later on use while
acting as the mediator between the people he is working on and the space that is
equipped to them as a chance to get involved and act freely. Consequently, after
collecting data and information the anthropologist aims at bridging the gap between
people experiencing a totally new environment in terms of social, cultural or
economic facts and the society itself together with various infrastructures. A fruitful
example could be that of people which after a certain period in prison are struggling
in fully getting involved in the society again. The anthropologist in such a case is
called to measure the distance to the desired outcome, namely to help the two poles
interconnect, the people in need and the society that has to absorb them. In
particular, engaging stakeholders in the design and implementation of the policies
and creative spaces owners by offering the space and opportunities for them to act
as for example, organizing exhibitions together with municipality members or library
directors that will be run by the persons in need so as to have an arena to express
their own cultural characteristics and share their own stories allowing them to have
a more interpersonal and interactive connection with others.
Furthermore, the anthropologist plays a very important role since is aimed to bring
in light many Cultural characteristics and cultural narratives of these populations by
offering them the space and infrastructure to exhibit, to ”work” and act within the
intercultural dialogue with other cultural backgrounds. Together with other partners
such as Non-Governmental Organizations, artistic curators, activists and properties’
owners they all together provide them with think tanks to act while at the same time
they shake up stereotypes and spread awareness with regards to the people above.
Besides, these actors have this opportunity with the intention to meet, interact and
get inspired by others* and as a result feel confident and part of the community they
live in.
3. Nowadays, even though technology has made huge steps forward and the media is
captivating the majority of the News spectrum, however it is a big issue that not
every story comes into sight in the most procuratorial way. As a consequence,
media representatives are as well required to be involved in that series of initiatives
being invited by the anthropologist as well. In particular, media is indeed significant
in such attempts in order to share the outcomes and these experiences with the
public. Alternatively, due to the fact that anthropology is a broad science and
captivates many aspects including Psychology, Sociology, Arts and Media at all times
and places, the anthropologist of this specific case might cover the media part of the
initiative exposing himself the results showing the meaningful existence and
blending of the multilayer and multidimensional societies in publication.
For instance, communicating and releasing these workshops and laboratories’
outcomes may lead to a better reflection on these minorities on behalf of the entire
society that will consequently bring up a stronger intercultural communication and
strengthen their identities that are at stake due to strong existing stereotypes.
To sum up, anthropology as a science and more specifically anthropologists are
required nowadays to cover a broad range of requirements. At first, they study the
human being as of how and where they ended up living in the current conditions.
Such knowledge and research supplies them with all the needed skills and materials
so as to design and implement various policies and interventions aiming at bringing
together all citizens having a just daily life in terms of social, political, cultural and
economic aspects.
