Since the beginning of 2020, COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting the whole world. The pandemic and its governance have been creating many problems such as ecological devastation, climate crisis, poverty and entrenched inequality more visible. Thinking about the question of how anthropology could contribute to the solution of these current problems, this paper scrutinizes activist anthropology. In this context this paper proceeds through three broad topics. In the first topic, a general evaluation is made on the limit of anthropology. This evaluation depends upon a strong distinction between anthropology and activism. Secondly, applied anthropology as a social problem-solving-oriented anthropological approach is discussed. The objective of discussing applied anthropology is to provide a basis for analyzing activist anthropology through similarities and differences between them. Finally, activist anthropology is examined. By this way, this paper aims at revealing the opportunity to turn anthropology into a public voice and responsibility, moreover a into a field of struggle.
