Abstract or Description

Seven authors reflect on Sue’s contribution to developing the ‘Anthropology of Policy’ and its growth as a new sub-field of political anthropology since the 1990s. They show how her focus on policy brought together her earlier concerns with organisations, power and processes of social transformation with critical and reflexive perspectives on language, higher education reform and regimes of audit and accountability.
