I was part of a roundtable discussion that tried to reflect on the nature of anthropology in Leiden, in terms of its past and present, as well as its future potential. With its strong humanities, area studies and law profile, Leiden University provides a unique setting for anthropology. Besides the Institute of Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology, located in the Faculty of Social Sciences, anthropologists are employed in numerous institutes across the university. 

Together with five other anthropologist colleagues with various institutional homes, we reflected on the place of anthropology in our particular institutes: our experiences as anthropologists at Leiden University; the possibilities that our positions offer and the challenges they present; and our thoughts on the future potential of anthropology in Leiden.
