We seek to grow our collective wisdom in order to build ‘an equitable human assertion’. UQAS adopted this cornerstone concept from the artist-anthropologist Gina Athena Ulysse who quoted the work of the great black American writer Amiri Baraka in an artwork she performed at the Sydney Biennale 2020 when our society was first founded. Join us on our/your journey of exploration and world-building.
The goals of UQAS are:
1. To promote an interest in anthropology and its responsible use in service of humankind;
2. To support students and researchers in anthropology; and
3. To promote the social and intellectual life of students across all disciplines at the University of Queensland.
It is a holistic study of humanity. Anthropology looks at what does it mean to be human.
