This masterclass will enable discussions with Tim Ingold about his ideas and contributions across several themes. It will be of interest to participants from a wide range of disciplines. Each session will consist of an initial overview paper by Tim Ingold, which is followed by participant contributions and discussions. Two additional sessions by the course organisers (M. Porr, N. Weidtmann) allow a critical engagement with the application of some of Tim Ingold’s ideas in anthropological, archaeological and philosophical case studies.
There will be a competitive selection process. Participants must present a 15-minute paper that critically discusses one of the themes and/or questions of the masterclass. Engagement with current research questions and issues are particularly welcome as well as connections with current PhD projects.

The collection of chapters presented in this volume creates spaces for expansion of critical and unexpected conversations about human origins research. Authors from a variety of disciplines and research backgrounds, many of whom have strayed beyond their usual disciplinary boundaries to offer their unique perspectives, all circle around the big questions of what it means to be and become human. Embracing and encouraging diversity is a recognition of the deep complexities of human existence in the past and the present, and it is vital to critical scholarship on this topic.
This book constitutes a starting point for increased interrogation of the important and wide-ranging field of research into human origins. It will be of interest to scholars across multiple disciplines, and particularly to those seeking to understand our ancient past through a more diverse lens.
