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.

left especially struck with @carriehryan's final question: what do intensities of fun tell us about social arrangements of life? where & why else are we bored, disenfranchised, out-of-place?

[Chika Watanabe @drchikawatanabe]

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!
