Imagine a space where academic insight meets public curiosity — a conduit that serves to bridge the gap between scholarly research and everyday conversations in innovative and creative ways.

Welcome to Anthroprospective — a dynamic journal based in Naarm (Melbourne) that creates translation spaces for sensemaking. Through meticulously crafted articles, thought-provoking interviews with leading social scientists, and interactive in-person salon events, Anthroprospective fosters a community of curious minds eager to explore diverse perspectives on current social issues through an anthropological lens.

Our mission is to inform and inspire, facilitating deeper dialogue on the systemic issues shaping our world today.

Complementing this is over five years of international development experience in the non-profit sector. Courtney is skilled in qualitative research, project management, stakeholder management, and team leadership, enabling her to effectively navigate and manage complex projects and diverse teams to achieve impactful results.
