What began as a playful diversion has generated new reve lations about things I have long taken for granted\, including my relation ship with anthropological and historical scholarship and teaching. I have come to describe what I do in this space as creative stumbling. In this il lustrated talk\, I reflect on my intentional and emergent inquiry practice s\, tripping\, stumbling\, and backing my way into inquiries\, embracing t he generative intellectual and creative possibilities of bewilderment whil e creating sequential narrative art.\n \n Speaker Biography:\n Luis Vivanco i s Professor and Chair of Anthropology at the University of Vermont.
