First things thrown in over a year, and in an awesome new studio - turns out most of the Anth department are potters…

Merry Christmas to me, for finally finishing the edits on this! I would not wish the task of indexing a book on my worst enemy.

'Anthropology in Sporting Worlds: Knowledge, Collaboration and Representation in the Digital Age' will be published in 2025 by Vernon Press. #academicsky #sportanthro

This had almost passed me by, but it seems the recent #LKA U-19s games are the first time that two players from Jaffna have been in the national team at the same time?

Really great sign of cricket's growing health in the north if so and credit to those developing the game there.
