Many thanks to the EHBEA 2025 attendees who trusted me with the Best Poster Award (Public vote)! 🌿

It is the first time I present my own data and truly lead the project, and your questions and insights came really helpful.

Here's the run down of my talk at #EHBEA2025 entitled 'Analysing the Form and Function of Rituals Using Large Language Models: Fasting'. I illustrate how we can use LLMs to measure the constituent properties of rituals across ethnographic texts to test theoretical models on a large-scale.

When is IPV deemed acceptable in south-Central Ethiopia??

➡️ Sarah Myers presents acceptance data:
- women > men
- older > younger
- religious leaders > other professions
- wealthy > poorer

➡️ are these transmitted?
- yes, within & beyond households
