I love these days where we come together, faculty and students, to celebrate our achievements and time together @txst.anthro 💜

Today I got to celebrate the graduation of my two brilliant students, Manar Naser & Ian Whitehead, who completed their MA today. 🥳 It has been such a privilege to spend the last two years thinking with these inspirational students. You'll both be missed! Congratulations! 👏

I recently got to sit down with Abigail Letsinger to chat about anthropology careers and the applications of anthropology to business and entrepreneurship on AnthroPuzzled 🎙️! Check it out on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, YouTube, or anthropuzzled.com

My graduate students have taken to sending me photos of their animals when they send me drafts of their work. So far I've received cats, dogs, baby goats, cows, and a calf. I return photos of my cats. In these unsettled and unsettling times, these small moments of connection and care mean so much.

Is sociocultural #anthropology a career? 🤔 In my chapter for this brilliant new volume, I argue that anthropology is not a #career in the same way that other majors are—that is a specific set of skills and knowledge for a specific set of occupations.💡 bit.ly/4iFD2L5 🧵

Setting aside the UX and Al fiasco that is #SpotifyWrapped this year, ionnalee, again this year, made the music that sang to my soul -(and this doesn't even include the listens on vinyl). Highly recommend this independent artist and her audiovisual Swedish electropop art. 💜

Are you interested in STS and Anthropology? Join CASTAC! Our annual business meeting is November 2024, 11:45 AM - 12:45 PM (EDT) and online (via Zoom). All are welcome! We are a diverse community of academic and practicing anthropologists of all levels.

So incredibly lucky to be Manar Naser's thesis advisor! Can't wait to see this thesis complete later this year and where her career will go next!
