Dr. Erin B. Taylor is Director and Co-Founder of Finthropology, at the crossroads of anthropology, financial behavior and technology. She specializes in how people’s financial behavior is changing along with innovation in financial services. She holds a PhD from the University of Sydney, Australia, and has carried out ethnographic research in the Caribbean, Africa and Europe. Erin is especially interested in how culture and group belonging influence people’s actions and decisions.

Co-chairing the first EPIC post-COVID in Amsterdam, Erin discusses her initial reservations with the theme of "Resilience," as well as how the conference chairs expanded the theme's meanings in multiple directions. She recalls the success of the Wildcard track, which led to a memorable sound installation and engaging co-creation workshops.

This year’s EPIC conference will be held in Los Angeles from August 18-21. Learn more at 2024.epicpeople.org.
