It’s finally out! I wrote this @culanth post based on teaching my Economic Anthropology course as “Queering Capitalisms” last semester. Many thanks to @tariqlrahman and for the helpful comments, edits and encouragement!

[Society for Cultural Anthropology @culanth]

In this piece @jenkhughes and @tariqlrahman offer interdisciplinary readings, in-class exercises, discussion questions, and ideas for teaching a unit on the financial crisis through anthropology as well as other modes of storytelling.

Some social media users are posting old footage of previous volcanic eruptions and implying it is of the current seismic activity in Reykjanes. As of this post - 2.30pm GMT on Nov 12 - there has NOT been an eruption - although one may follow. Please repost this if you can. Takk!
