In this week's session, 'Ethnography of the Future,' we discussed Pierre Bourdieu's 'The Forms of Capital' alongside work by @peterbrowning.bsky.social and Luisa Martín Rojo. The conversation was illuminating (as always!), ranging from the politics of taste to the utopianism of protest movements 🌏 📚
