EASA2016 Logo14th EASA Biennial Conference

'Anthropological legacies and human futures', the 14th EASA2016 biennial conference was hosted by the Department of Human Science for Education 'Riccardo Massa' and Department of Sociology and Social Research at University of Milano-Bicocca (“Unimib”) located in Milan. This was the largest EASA yet: 15 labs, 3 film/AV streams, 150 panels, 1300 papers, 12 publishers and over 1550 delegates. Yet the event retained its traditional warmth and friendliness, even in the face of a new and uncertain future. The University of Milano-Bicocca is a new university, established in 1998. The campus stands on the northern edge of Milan, which was entirely occupied by the Pirelli industrial complex until the late 1980s. As a modern and spacious campus, it was the perfect nest for academic discussions, visual programmes and Laboratories
