New #OpenAccess entry on 'Sustainability' out in @anthroencyclo.bsky.social Written by Prof. @alicerudge.bsky.social at @soasanthro.bsky.social Find it here: www.anthroencyclopedia.com/entry/sustai...

With "a keen eye for the workings of power," Anthropology "forces us to value the plurality that characterises the landscapes into which sustainability lands, that goes into constituting sustainability initiatives, and that marks definitions of sustainability itself," writes @alicerudge.bsky.social

New article on 'Sustainability' out in the Open Encyclopedia of Anthropology! Written off the back of designing the @soasanthro.bsky.social MA Global Futures and Sustainability curriculum - thank you to our amazing students and all who supported!

"The monograph’s immense contribution is in its analysis of language, in terms of its synthesis of the Batek voice and its reflection on how voice can function," writes Faizah Zakaria for Indigenous Religious Traditions of SENSING OTHERS by @alicerudge.bsky.social‬ bit.ly/43WCHxg

The @ucddublin.bsky.social story about the exciting project *Prehistoric Policies* that Ben Elliott @archsoundscapes.bsky.social, Alice Rudge @alicerudge.bsky.social and I are just starting. Interested in how ideas about the past influence policy today? Watch this space! www.ucd.ie/newsandopini...

Jennifer Clapp's latest uncovers the long history of corporate power in agriculture and shows why we’ll need to undo the sins of the nineteenth century if we are all to survive in the twenty-first. Titans of Industrial Agriculture is out now and well worth your time!

The call for new editorial leadership at Cultural Anthropology is now open. Since its founding in 1986, the journal has represented the cutting-edge of anthropological theory and ethnographic inquiry. More info: culanth.org/about/about-...

Yayyyy this was a great project to work on. Thank you to editors @lianachua.bsky.social and Viola Schreer for inspiring us to think about heroism and villainy in the Anthropocene! And a huge thanks for putting together such a wonderful community of authors - there's some incredible pieces in here!

My own piece looks at sugarcane-based #bioplastic and how it replicates petro-systems more than interrupts them. Também disponível em português! culanth.org/fieldsights/...

The series has essays by wonderful contributors who were SO great to work and think with. Thanks to all of them, as well as the Cultural Anthropology team. @dominicboyer.bsky.social @beatricecointe.bsky.social @mythrijega.bsky.social @markomonteiro.bsky.social @hannahcknox.bsky.social and many more

Excited that this series on substitution, co-edited by Alice Rudge, Véra Ehrenstein, and myself, is now live. “Substitution constitutes a method for tracing continuities amid seeming change, disruption amid seeming continuity, and possibility within constraint.” culanth.org/fieldsights/...

Short text just published in a collection on "Substitution" edited by @katieulrich.bsky.social, Alice Rudge & Véra Ehrenstein. Sharing Fressoz's puzzlement with the "energy transition", I follow the traces of transition-as-substitutions in models & data infrastructures. culanth.org/fieldsights/...
