How can public anthropology be pursued? What are the potentials of crossing disciplinary boundaries? And how can the exhibition, as a method, be used for such purposes?

Jason De León is Professor of Anthropology and Chicana/o Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. In his work, Jason draws upon ethnographic methods, archaelogy and forensic science, in order to approach the field of Latin American migration. Jason brings us upon a road not so often trodden, reflecting upon the relationship between academia and activism, hierarchial and disciplinary boundaries, and doing mobile exhibition work as an avenue for making the project Hostile Terrain 94 public and democratic.
