Farms built into a mountainside, where those at the top control the water supply. Gender conformity without any gendered linguistic markers. A world where the gods are constantly sending messages through the movements of birds.
Anthropology is a treasure trove of worldbuilding ideas. In this workshop, we’ll talk about how you can dig into this wealth of human creativity. We’ll talk about the ethics of incorporating real-world cultural elements into fiction. And we’ll use actual examples of anthropological research as a springboard for invention, from flash fiction to full-blown novels.
