On February 5-7, 2026, the Social Anthropology Unit at the University of Fribourg will host the Swiss Anthropological Association Annual Meeting 2026. The conference theme is “Care, Maintenance, Decay: Ways of attending to vulnerability in a transforming world”. Facing the ongoing climate change, political and health crises, and societal challenges, humans react in multiple, often contradictory ways to vulnerabilities that arise. This conference aims to explore care, maintenance, and decay as relations that express and produce collective meanings around such vulnerabilities. The Call for Panels closed on June 15.
