today is the day! "Tackling the Everyday" is officially out in the world!

only a few are pictured here, but i'm so thankful to the many thinkers and writers who inspired me during this process ✨✨

if you're so inclined to buy (link below), please post, read, share, request, etc!
Canada's "Tackling the Everyday," a predominantly green book, is in the foreground. Behind is a stack of 10 books: Hartman's "Lose Your Mother," Bissinger's "Friday Night Lights," Mariner's "Contingent Kinship," Nash's "Birthing Black Mothers," Sharpe's "In the Wake," Uperesa's "Gridiron Capital," Laymon's "Heavy," Sheppard's "Sporting Blackness," Ralph's "Renegade Dreams," and Browne's "Dark Matters."

Teaching anthro theory this quarter. We're currently looking at the Boasian/Du Boisian response to 19th century scientific racism and THIS STUFF IS AS RELEVANT AS EVER. Also Lee Baker's 1998 work on Boas/Du Bois is always good to read. #anthrosky #anthropology

“HIPAA, the federal health privacy law, doesn’t apply to the companies behind popular chatbots. Legally, said Bradley Malin… “you’re basically waiving any rights that you have with respect to medical privacy,” leaving only the protections that a given company chooses to offer.”

"I think plenty of people write about the men that surround football b/c that's the expectation. Mothers not only give bodies to the sport, they’re giving birth to these players. They're also caring for them in a way that's different from the other people around them" - @traciecanada.bsky.social

I’m honored that the work I do writing for and communicating with multiple audiences has been recognized with an honorable mention for the GAD New Directions Award!

This is special to me because it recognizes a critical element of my scholarship that is often downplayed in academia

I would point an interested reader and careful thinker to two things.

One, the university recently built another top-down school without student demand or sustainable funding. It isn’t doing so well.

Two, I would point out that sports dynasties are built over generations.

It’s always gratifying to learn that someone else was able to internalize less BS because they encountered my discussion of know-your-place aggression. (And many thanks to friends who made sure I saw this!)
