I couldn't be prouder of our @KingsCollegeLon students and their supporters for having relentlessly protested, evidenced, and negotiated an end to KCL's direct investments in Israel's arms suppliers. #StopGazaGenocide#Gaza#WarCrimes 🇵🇸 https://t.co/7T2sB6H7jP
was just serendipitously paired with a senior anthro prof on focusmate working on a book project. it was so nice -- we got to say things to each other at the end like "i had such a wonderful time just reading during this session" and "i am really enjoying my work today".
two weeks later & still soaking in all the fabulous conversations we had at this panel.

An incredible set of panels on the anthropology of fun and play at #EASA2024 with @KellynnWee and @carriehryan. All our presenters were amazing. Keep an eye out for future fruits of our conversation!
@ryder_withawhy thanks, Craig! unfortunately we end just after lunch on Friday so no talks there, but thank you for the well wishes - I hope it goes smoothly too
