Towards a Regenerative Anthropology
Pauline Von Hellermann, Tobias Müller, Peter Sutoris, Social Anthropology, 2026/06/19

---

This manifesto describes a 'regenerative anthropology' and captures many of the trends we have seen in open online learning. The authors address a regenerative pedagogy in one of the later sections: " This encompasses a real, deep interrogation of the role of university teaching and what we give our students in the three years or so they spend with us. While our thinking on this is work in progress, we would like to briefly articulate what we see as the core of regenerative pedagogy: that it must be about the whole person, combining critique, practice and wisdom." I'll take this as a positive first draft of a new approach that will be refined through the process of critique and rethinking they discuss. Via Kate Bowles.
