Now that #Barbie is the focus of more of our conversations, it is worth remembering when the US military and Mattel created an alliance between 1989 and 2002 that #militarized Barbie. This 🧵 is a #zine part of my current #military #Barbie research.

New piece out!!! 🧥🪖Go and read the new #ConsumingWar report about fashion, written by Cynthia and David, two amazing human beings and scholars.

What does it say about our society that “Half the people on the street are dressed to kill,” as one New York Times critic has noted?

Our new analysis explores one of the subtle ways we consume war: from bomber jackets to camo and combat boots, militarized fashion consciously and unconsciously glorifies war. [THREAD]

Now that we are close to Christmas, the moment of the year when toy sales exponentially grow, we can take a minute to reflect on how these are powerful objects 🧸 🪖

This year, I’ve been grappling with a question that haunts many of us in grad school: Do I want to stay in academia after I finish my PhD? Now that I’m deep into my research. I’ve realized that the conversations I care most about don’t always happen in classrooms or journals.

[Eva María Rey Pinto @eva_rey_pinto]

“In the Thick of It” is a space to think out loud. In this first season, you’ll hear from anthropologists who moved into activism, public scholarship, consulting, play, and even roller coasters (yes, literally!). We ask: What happens when we take ethnography beyond the academy?

[Eva María Rey Pinto @eva_rey_pinto]

There is a new report from the #ConsumingWar series! This time is about the militarization of video games. A current and important topic.

Check out this 🧵and the report at: https://t.co/8FmooyuowZ

[The Costs of War Project @CostsOfWar]

The horrors of war and the joys of play through video games are seemingly incompatible. But their histories are inextricably linked.

Our latest report looks at the militarization of video games. [THREAD] https://t.co/QrBK6u9xBf

[Responsible Statecraft @RStatecraft]

The Pentagon has been actively involved with scriptwriting, consulting, and hardware for some 2,500 Hollywood films, but filmmakers, for all sorts of reasons, don't like to talk about it.

MAJOR NEWS: Chagossians have won a historic--if incomplete--victory. A UK-Mauritius agreement finally secures many Chagossians' right to return to their homeland + a UK support fund. Unfortunately, the agreement unnecessarily excludes the right of return to Diego Garcia. 🧵

En 1947, Delia Zapata Olivella ingresó a la Escuela de Bellas Artes de la Universidad Nacional. Cuando sus compañeros, deslumbrados por su belleza, le pidieron postularse para un reinado universitario, ella respondió: "Siempre y cuando el concurso sea para elegir a la más negra".
