I am running for Events Manager because I want Anthropology Society to be structured, ambitious, and genuinely engaging. As a Human Sciences student with a passion for Anthropology, and as the current Events Officer for Human Sciences, I already have hands-on experience planning and delivering student events. I understand logistics, budgeting, promotion, and how to create events people actually attend.
My priority is consistency, collaboration, and creativity.
First, I will establish a clear and reliable events calendar across the year. Members should know when to expect socials, academic talks, and career-focused sessions. Anthropology covers everything from medical systems to migration and climate justice, and our events should reflect that breadth.
Second, I want to build collaborations with other societies to create interdisciplinary panels and joint socials. Anthropology is strongest when it connects outward, not inward.
Finally, I will prioritise accessibility and inclusivity. Events should feel welcoming to first years, joint honours students, and anyone curious about anthropology, not just those who already feel confident speaking up.
Anthropology challenges us to rethink the world. Our society should do the same
