My own school, @uoft.bsky.social has advised against all non-essential travel to the US, including for conferences like this. Insisting on in-person attendance to @americananthro.bsky.social is antithetical to the principles we adhere to as social scientists; pleaser reconsider. #anthropology

I've made some gentle requests but haven't heard anything back. @americananthro.bsky.social Please reconsider your policy to hold an in-person only conference this year. You're alienating all non-US members who aren't comfortable travelling to the US this year. #anthropology

Hi all: Q for the #anthropology community.
Any suggestions for programs for creating diagrams for a (ling anth) dissertation?
I need to do two things:
1. create a map of my field-site (a science lab); and
2. turn photos/video stills into black-line drawings.
