Ts. Namkhainyambuu (1948-2003) was a highly decorated herder in the Mongolian People’s Republic. He specialized in sheep herding for which he received numerous decorations and awards, and was named Labor Hero in 1978 (which he is wearing in this photo). He also was a member of Parliament.

A great quote showing how the Mongol royalty moved in great cities. It was also not the movement of mobile herders or "nomads" - it was thousands of animals and people (certainly was terrible for the environment).

As a contributor to a past issue of JAE and reader of the journal, I send all my solidarity to the (censored) issue’s editorial team Nora Akawi, Omar Jabary Salamanca, Zoé Samudzi, and Nick Estes and all the contributors. This move against academic freedom should not be accepted.
Unfortunate, but not unexpected news. I hope the editors find a venue for the contributions, which were submitted last month and were in peer review ahead of last week's decision by ACSA. Maybe a special issue of @nyreviewofarch.bsky.social?
