I greatly enjoyed presenting a virtual talk, "De aliados coloniais a parceiros turísticos: hospitalidade e xamanismo entre os Makushi da Guiana," yesterday morning in the Amazônia Colonial seminar series at the Universidade Estadual de Campinas in Brazil. @unicampoficial

Looking forward to giving a talk entitled "Indigenous Alliance Making: Histories of Agency in Colonial Lowland South America with a Focus on Makushi Alliances in Guyana" in the EREA seminar series at Université Paris Nanterre at 3pm on 12 June 2026.

@derekboydsays When is it???

[Angela Dautartas @Dr_Doubt1]

@KateClancy Thank you!! The emails I get never have the deadlines either. My students have been great about communicating the due dates, but there’s no reason that information can’t be included in the form email request. Just why??

[Dr. Sara L. Gonzalez @potatokitty]

A statement from the Muwekma Ohlone Indian Tribe and Chairwoman Charlene Nijmeh on @SJSU and faculty's treatment of ancestors' remains.
You can support them by sharing the statement and emailing the department chair expressing support and concerns.

Just found out my upcoming primate behavior seminar for spring semester was accidentally mis-titled “seminar in pirate behavior”. Do I correct it or just go with it? 🏴‍☠️

[Angela Dautartas @Dr_Doubt1]

@Dr_Ledet @CA_AstroComm And I’ll do the same to you! Sad to see this argument coming up again, but I appreciate having good colleagues like you.

[Angela Dautartas @Dr_Doubt1]

@FabLabBU Those proportions sound entirely appropriate. And students become the professionals and leaders. They should have a voice and be part of the decision making process.

[Angela Dautartas @Dr_Doubt1]

@FabLabBU This is really disappointing. I’m also very concerned that the strong participation of students is being presented as a negative. Don’t we want active student participation in all aspects? That seems like it should be a goal across the organization, and especially in D&I.

[Angela Dautartas @Dr_Doubt1]

@DrKillgrove I really appreciate these responses. I’m 37, and have just landed a TT assistant position after years of adjunct work. I read the humblebrag tweet and thought “if he’s failing, how pathetic am I?” Glad to see some other perspectives.

[Angela Dautartas @Dr_Doubt1]

@TheDurtyTrowel I’m going to have to check this out. I have a lot of family in Ohio- none of them view malls as “sacred” spaces!

[Angela Dautartas @Dr_Doubt1]

@AnthropologisTL I would! I’m pretty recent bioanth PhD, but I’d love to look at it if that would be helpful.

[Tisa @AnthropologisTL]

Would someone be willing to take a look at a 4k word little topical review I wrote? Trying to decide if it's worth cutting in half for a short submission or keeping long and trying other venues? Topics: history of sci/ bio anth, evo anth, multi-regional models, race, archaeology

Important for White anthropologists to hear right now:

My experience with the challnges of decolonization in biological anthroplology is that there is often the tacit acceptance with the way things are. Though I know many people who challange structural racism in departments and in the field I think we need to take this time to
