Some thoughts on graphic ethnography and accessible knowledge, from participating in the wonderful closing workshop of @agemig_MPI with @meghaamrith https://t.co/1LdReMbDow

[Laura Haapio-Kirk @LauraLHK]

It was such a privilege to be part of this event last week in Berlin. Fantastic discussions with leading researchers of ageing and migration. Congratulations to @meghaamrith and the @agemig_MPI team on a brilliant project and workshop!

[Ageing in a Time of Mobility @agemig_MPI]

Inspired by rich conversations reflecting on the field of ageing and migration studies, reconnecting with dear colleagues and celebrating seven years of @agemig_MPI @mpimmg 🎉🥂🙏🏽

A visual story drawing on my PhD research with middle-aged women in Japan. I wanted to create a character who could express the feelings that many women shared with me about their hopes and desires in later life. https://t.co/AFY9yq0AwM #graphicethnography

Join me and @amberwanguk at our @EASAinfo roundtable on digital platforms & practices of 'commoning'! We'll discuss how anthropologists can leverage digital tools to study, document, & amplify the voices of communities resisting precarious conditions.

It's out.
I think this is really my `heart and soul’ book.
The Good Enough Life https://t.co/ED8I2c2T4L
A book that tries to reset the relationship between anthropology and philosophy by contrasting the ideal good life with actual good enough lives.

[Laura Haapio-Kirk @LauraLHK]

@ryder_withawhy @DannyAnth Thank you Craig!

[Laura Haapio-Kirk @LauraLHK]

Enjoying meeting lots of young people today at @Pitt_Rivers and seeing their wonderful zines about wellbeing! This one is about an inuit coat and gives a very good overview of the benefits of clothes for keeping warm and protected from illness among other things!
