My copies of my book arrived and my partner kindly schlepped them to the hospital so I could open the box myself. It's amazing to hold a REAL BOOK in my hands and know it's my own work!!!

Hi all! For the past couple of years, I've been working on a project for the Wenner-Gren Foundation on equity issues in anthropological research funding. I'll be presenting that research in a webinar on 1/30 at 3–5pm EST, followed by a panel of amazing folks. I hope you'll come check it out! 🏺
