Black Lives Matter - from an anthropological perspective | David Asplund | TEDxYouth@Sundsvall

My name is David Asplund, and I recently graduate with a degree in Cultural Anthropology from the University of California, Riverside. For years, I have been working with a plethora of different projects ranging from tourism in national parks in the United States, presenter on public speaking events on topics such as youth democracy and equity, and how to improve communication within organisations. My current research interest is how transnational adoptees navigate identity formation. However, for my TedxTalk I will be giving an informative speech on the Black Lives Matter movement using an anthropological perspective. I will be addressing an intersection of avenues, which aims to explain why, despite a global pandemic, people chose to protest even though large gatherings of people is highly discouraged. I would like to welcome each and everyone of you to partake in this.
