Grateful to be welcomed so warmly again in the Sine-Saloum Delta and happy to be able to bring something small along (www.reimer-mann-verlag.de/controller.p...).

Handed in & defended this multimodal beast, all summa cum laude. Good times! 🎉🍾

It’s accompanied by a long list of acknowledgments, first & foremost to my interlocutors & hosts. But also to many colleagues, creative partners etc. I’m glad for the support & companionship.

🎉 New sonic essay! 🎉
In "Touching Excess: Haptic Sound from the Multispecies Delta" I outline haptic sound as a powerful medium for both more-than-human sensitivity and alterity.

It's part of the wonderful Special Issue on "Ethnographic Rubbish": www.researchcatalogue.net/view/558606/...

🎉 New paper!

Out with Social Anthropology, based on the manuscript awarded in the Society for Economic Anthropology's Schneider Prize competition.
