How does the ceremonial exchange of gold in rural South India connect with speculation in global financial markets? How does the historic preoccupation with a precious metal relate to contemporary central banking? Anthropologists Elizabeth Ferry and Allison Truitt discuss how materiality, form, history and institutions shape the interface between gold and money in India – and in transaction systems across the world. SPEAKERS: Elizabeth Ferry | Professor of Anthropology, Brandeis University Allison Truitt | Professor of Anthropology, Director of Asian Studies, Tulane University Event convened by Nithya Joseph | 2022-23 Fung Global Fellow
