Dialogues, encounters and interactions through which particular ways of knowing, understanding and thinking about the world are forged lie at the centre of anthropology. Such ‘intellectual exchange’ is also central to anthropologists’ own professional practice: from their interactions with research participants and modes of pedagogy to their engagements with each other and scholars from adjacent disciplines. This collection of essays explores how such processes might best be studied cross-culturally. Foregrounding the diverse interactions, ethical reasoning, and intellectual lives of people from across the continent of Asia, the volume develops an anthropology of intellectual exchange itself.

Jacob Copeman is Research Professor at University of Santiago de Compostela. He co-edited the volume Global Sceptical Publics: From Non-religious Print Media to ‘Digital Atheism’ (UCL Press, 2022) with Mascha Schulz.
