Just learned on our anual party that Helsinki's Faculty of Social Sciences was founded 80 years ago on the very day Nazi Germany capitulated. What a day to start such an endeavor!

These are some impressions from a little history tour with Antu Sorainen in Kallio, Helsinki. Thank you, Antu, for this exciting and incredibly insightful afternoon!

If you interested in #queer and #feminist #anthropology, #kinship and #inheritance you must check out her fantastic work!

Research participants needed!

We want to learn about what you leave behind. Do you live in the Bay Area? Become an interviewee for the University of Helsinki's LEGACIES research project, which focuses on material legacies and environmental ones.

I am currently working on material and environmental legacies in the SF #BayArea. Are there there researchers who work on #waste and #environmental degradation in #contemporary #archaeology? Interested in exchanging with an anthropologist? Colleagues from other discipline are welcome too!

Today I began my fieldwork on environmental and material legacies in San Jose, CA as part of the LEGACIES team, University of Helsinki. I am excited to engage with and learn from the city's vibrant communities and their strive for #environmentaljustice #ej.

Hello, anyone interested in material culture anthropology, no matter if personal things, possessions, dispossessions, means of social reproduction, means (im-)mobilities or legacies? Would be great to exchange on this platform on such matters! #materialculture #anthropology
