My review of Joanna Nascimento's ethnography, Working the Fabric, is now out in @saw-anthroofwork.bsky.social Exertions. For those interested in the people and processes that make one of fashion's most iconic textiles, Harris Tweed, this book is for you! saw.americananthro.org/pub/li5yuag7...

🚨My department is hiring! 🚨The position is for a tenure-track role as an Assistant Professor in Family Science in the Department of Human Ecology. The posting is here: apps.ualberta.ca/careers/post... I feel incredibly fortunate to have joined this department - it is an exceptional community!

At the end of our final class today the students all clapped. I fear a new hunger for power has been unlocked in me.

I personally think Joe Biden should kill all the turkeys and pardon student loans this year.

Hello anthros attending the AAAs in Tampa. @castac.bsky.social is hosting a casual social hour on Wed 11/20, 5-7p, at LightHaus Beer Garden. Come say hi and meet fellow scholars of science, technology, and computing!

Hi #anthrosky. Is anyone going to Tampa this week for #AAA2024? If you are, I'd love to see you at my panel: Making as Ethnographic Praxis. We'll be sharing papers on craft-making as ethnographic practice and are delighted to have Cristina Grasseni as our discussant.

Everyone on here should start using the starter packs like we did with the Myspace Top 8. Aggressively and explicitly order your favourite academics. Make sure the 8th person knows they are on thin ice with you.

This a good thread by @dieworkwear.bsky.social. And let me add this: that lie being sewed in through an origin tag is representative of an even bigger problem 🧵

Starter pack UPDATED! Thanks for your patience. If I missed you, it's just cause I'm one woman trying to track notifications & copying/pasting you in. Happy to add a few more but this one's almost at capacity (there's a 150 limit). Please share to help build our community back! go.bsky.app/LVrPemK

I'm working on a Fashion Studies starter pack. Let me know if you'd like to be added (or removed). bsky.app/starter-pack...

I’m obsessed with looking at these academic starter packs. As a matter of fact I would love to know who’s who in maritime history

Some misinformation in today's US presidential debate about who bears the cost of tariffs. So let's talk about how tariffs affect what you pay for a suit. 🧵 (1/20)

When people ask me what my dissertation is about I’m gonna show them this.
