A new collaborative paper on COVID-19 and pastoralism. The content of the paper, at least the section on Tibet, was drafted in April in the early days of the pandemic. Things have changed since then and some of the premises deserve renewed reflections...

Great conversation with Lugyal Bum about Anthropology, research ethics, and current condition and future of China Anthropology.

With face-to-face research suspended, my colleagues and I have resorted to taking "drone-selfies" and making "resource" maps. I know, we are terrible artists!

[Scott Schnur @schnur_thing]

Good read! If we have met through fieldwork and you’re interested in knowing more about the discipline of #cultural #anthropology, this is worth a read. One of OG’s of the field I specialize in!

@angrant_1 Congratulations!!!

I am collecting virus-related materials on animal ethics and propaganda/publicity. Finding that there are people putting them together, even turning them into songs in different languages. WeChat/Weibo/Douyin can be sources of ethnographic wealth if right accounts are followed.

@GJosephRoche I remember walking in these areas, passing by your place, and seeing hundreds of crows on trees and electricity poles. Also, I live in Chengxi, Xining currently, and no dead animals, dead humans or zombies here, unless I missed anything while walking these streets everyday :)

One of my favorite essays in Tibetan. It is also one of the most viewed/read essays in the Tibetan language cyberspace.

@Tsesam3 so Tibetans were mute before the 7th century? lol

Natural disasters, environmental anthropologist Dana J. Greff emphasizes, are fundamentally social disasters characterized by deep inequality - via @SAPIENS_org: https://t.co/pNZXnVS3Ja

@aspenj21 kiribati president also talked about "being swallowd" at 2014 world parks congress in Sydeny

[Dr Tsering Bum @Tseringbum]

@aspenj21 interesting, but there are also studies that support this, including Kiribati activism promoting the danger of sea level rise.
