I was just on a fantastic podcast by @KathriAchchige w/ my comrade @dtpowis.

We talk about multimodal anthropology, precarity in academia (w/ a s/o to @UCWArizona!), anticapitalism, @FootnotesAnthro, & more!

Basically everything you'd expect from us!

As we head towards internal elections, and conversations continue over the direction & role of @AmericanAnthro, useful to be reminded of how an organisation should *not* treat its members...

[Takami (TAH-kah-mee)貴美 @tsd1888]

Important to underscore “the notion that the AAA is out of touch is not surprising” bc of its repeated offenses i.e., “AAA community message boards have disseminated slurs/abuses; sexism, ableism, harassment & other forms of violence/misconduct occur at in-person mtgs (& within..

Stop what you're doing and read this important, insightful, incisive reflection on what went wrong with the AAA's #RaisingOurVoices 2020 virtual conference. Authors ask the important question: who does the AAA serve? https://t.co/4OK7JDltUJ

The Anthro Response Cauldron critically analyzes the 2020 @AmericanAnthro virtual conference.

The ARC highlights the general negligence of AAA leadership, as well as their failure to address safety, governance, & equity concerns.

Grateful to @FootnotesAnthro for publishing this, to the authors for writing it, & for everyone doing the work of holding the AAA to account/pushing it to do better. (Post centers on the virtual conference, but is really about who matters to the org) https://t.co/lDezVl1pqs

For those concerned about the state of anthropology (and those who wasted brainspace on that SciAm piece), an absolute must-read:

[Dr. Wendy Erb 🦧 @wendyerb]

Please read this important statement from Anthro Response Cauldron about an appalling series of events & patterns of behavior: "Once again, the leadership at AAA continues to demonstrate its complete disregard and contempt for its membership."

[Society for Cultural Anthropology @culanth]

The authors of this @FootnotesAnthro piece highlight not only the zoombombing and poor security measures at the conference, but the fallout, the thoughtful paths not taken, the refusal to listen, the apparent inability to learn from a litany of mistakes. https://t.co/4OK7JDltUJ

If the attentive nurturing of unexpected kinships is @anandspandian's invitation to a possible anthropology, then @YoLingChen insists we crack this field of possibilities wide open.

Read this necessary & richly inspiring critique. @FootnotesAnthro

[Anand Pandian @anandspandian]

An incisive and powerful critique of A Possible Anthropology, written with verve and grace by @YoLingChen. It isn't easy to absorb a critique, but the questions are crucial and will stay with me. "Would this other anthropology look any different?" I'll be wrestling with this Q.
