A highlight of 2023: celebrating my book’s publication with a roundtable at @QueensCam earlier this year, gathering scholars whose work I admire, and who took the time to read the book and comment on it - many thanks to Sian Lazar, Haidy Geismar, Andrew Sanchez and Tim Cooper!

[Joana Nascimento @joananascimento]

Delighted to have this published in such good company - the culmination of a year-long series of conversations on ‘the present’ in anthropology, now out @AmEthno. Thank you @NiksSimpson, Tim Cooper and Michael Edwards for bringing us together and for the great editorial work!

Though E.P. Thompson is one of the 20th century's great historians, during much of his life, "the writing of history took a back seat to the actual making of history."

On the centenary of his birth, Julian Harber reflects on Edward as a teacher and political activist.

How can agricultural production secure the livelihoods of millions of households in Colombia? Gloria Pérez-Rivera argues we must first examine forced displacement as a financial strategy. You can read her full piece here: https://t.co/7nb9A1MNCK

[Open Encyclopedia of Anthropology @anthroencyclo]

Joana Nascimento writes about the "latent potential of ‘work/labour’ as an analytical category...[and] its contribution to develop more holistic and generative approaches to the study of socio-economic life."

[Joana Nascimento @joananascimento]

Glad to see this published in such a generative venue. Thank you Tim, Juliane and @gabi_cabana for the great editorial work!

“As I finished reading Gens, I often wondered whether it could have invited readers to engage further with debates about work and labour”. Read Joana Nascimento’s take on labour and the Gens Manifesto

"I was immediately called to 'Spell to Acquire a Beautiful Voice' by the premise...I loved the idea of the spellcaster’s greatest desire being a beautiful voice."
