Tim Ingold is one of the world’s leading anthropologists. Over the past five decades, he has not only advanced thinking and research within the discipline of anthropology but also made significant contributions to a wide range of debates in both the arts and human-ities and the natural sciences. Characterised by a series of highly original attempts to synthesise and develop ideas and concepts from an impressive variety of fields – notably anthropology, archae-ology, evolutionary biology, ecological psychology, phenomenology, education, art and architecture – his work is innovative, accessible and thought-provoking. It offers an original perspective on, among other topics: human–animal relations; evolution and social life; the perception of the environment; technology and skill; the history and anthropology of lines; art and architecture as making and knowing; education and attention; anthropology and ethnography; creative practice and imagination; and what it means to be human.Conversations with Tim Ingold: Anthropology, education and life provides a wide-ranging and readable account of Ingold’s life and career in the form of a series of interviews he gave over a two-year period to three anthropologists based at the University of Glasgow: Robert Gibb, Diego Maria Malara and Philip Tonner. The interview format allows Ingold to present his ideas in his own words – high-lighting in the process how engaging he is as a speaker and as a thinker – and to explore with the interviewers some of the key debates surrounding his work. The discussion covers the entirety of Ingold’s career to date, from his earliest publications to his most recent collection of essays, Imagining for Real (022a) and his latest book The Rise and Fall of Generation Now.
