I’m in the writing up process of my PhD so would love to get some contracts to start building my local network.

In this week's session, 'Ethnography of the Future,' we discussed Pierre Bourdieu's 'The Forms of Capital' alongside work by @peterbrowning.bsky.social and Luisa Martín Rojo. The conversation was illuminating (as always!), ranging from the politics of taste to the utopianism of protest movements 🌏 📚
