I'm honored to be organizing and presenting at our roundtable entitled "Asian/American Hauntings: Ghosts in/as
Multispecies Theory." With @radhikagovindrajan.bsky.social and Sophie Chao facilitating, we will contend with power dynamics of multispecies theory and racialized discourses of 'Asianness'.

I'm honored to announce my ethnographic fieldwork in Malaysia will be funded by the Royal Anthropological Institute's Emslie Horniman Scholarship. Thank you @anthrofuentes.bsky.social and my dissertation committee for their kindness and intellectually generous support!

The article's title is bolded and written, "Rethinking Deterrence as a Continuum of Care". In the background, a dusky langur monkey sits on a utility pole. On the left, there is a text description of care, the current issue, for Anthropology News. On the right, two macaques engage in social grooming.
