Went for a beauty of a 10K run yesterday after landing in #YVR for #congressh. Now getting ready to hit the Nest at #UBC. See you at the @utpress booth today and tomorrow. Looking forward to showing off our #sociology titles, visiting with authors, and meeting prospective ones!
Currently en route to YVR for #congressh. Have a proposal in #sociology or #genderstudies you’d like to discuss? Please drop by the @utpress booth to say hello — I’ll be there Monday and Tuesday and will be attending the @csa_sociology banquet Tuesday evening.
“Partnership is the new leadership.” Enlightening conversation between Pittsburgh mayor Bill Peduto and Richard Florida on the role of investment (as distinct from spending) in cities. #UofTCities
At Governing Cities in the 21st Century symposium hosted by @UofTCities. One of the morning’s panels discusses technology ethics, housing focused on people vs investment, and holistic health solutions that incorporate Indigenous perspectives. A day of important ideas. #UofTCities

A packed house and fantastic launch for the two latest books in the @utpress#GlobalSuburbanisms series, edited by @rkeil. Wonderful to be celebrating the series’ ground-breaking contributions with so many volume editors and contributors. Congratulations to all!
In action at #aagDC with @ULehrer and Jan Nijman, two of the superb editors in the @Global_suburbs series from @utpress. Last day at the exhibit hall — looking forward to fitting in a few more conversations with scholars doing ground-breaking work.
Back in the Exhibit Hall from 9-5 today at #aagDC. Come check out our growing @Global_suburbs series, other new titles in our wide-ranging list, and tell me about what you’re working on.
We’re here at #aagDC and we’ve brought outstanding titles on everything from suburbanism to cartography to books on cities and hotels. Stop by the UTP booth to browse our selection and visit with editor @EJodilewchuk – she’s always looking for fresh ideas! @theAAG
Great to visit with @utpress author @sarahshulist, whose Transforming Indigeneity, an exploration of Indigenous language revitalization in the Brazilian Amazon, is a feature title for the scholarly publishing program this year. #AmAnth18
Lots of new books in October! Also just published: Social anthropologist Stan Barrett’s examination of the Canadian Military’s shift in mission focus. What does it say about us as a country?
What kind of country do we want to be? Structuring his book around an anti-war perspective, Barrett looks at the transformation of Canada from a peacekeeping to a war-making nation during the Conservative Party’s decade in power: https://t.co/VnZClplLBh @CDN_Dimension#anthro
Michael Lambek’s innovative ethnography of Mayotte is hot off the press! Presenting snapshots of life in Mayotte over 40 years of fieldwork, Lambek creates an ethnographic history that depicts a community’s fluid evolution.
In his 40-yr account of life on #Mayotte, Lambek offers a moving portrait of the African island that demanded to become an integral part of the state of its colonizers. Consider the changing perspective of the #ethnographer at https://t.co/ZHmjEKv6sk @UofT_Anthro#anthrotwitter
