TONIGHT * THE BIG DEBATE (6:30-7:30, 220 Florida Gym)
The Public Debate Squad of the UF Speech & Debate Team invites you to their second debate of the Spring 2018 semester on February 15th at 6:30pm in the Florida Gym, room 220. This debate will be co-sponsored by the UF Anthropology Department. For many years now, the intervention of anthropologists in the cultures in which they study has been debated. Many believe that anthropologists in the field have the responsibility to affect change concerning actions they believe to be harmful, but others believe such a view is ethnocentric, with non-Western cultures being negatively affected. Since this topic has such a wide scope, our debate will focus primarily on the cultural practice of female genital mutilation. Our debate’s resolution will be the following: anthropologists have the responsibility to intervene regarding existing “harmful cultural practices.”
