Thinking about the history of feminist anthropology in Australia, and what it says about the contemporary university. Drawing on papers from a roundtable at ANU in 2019, this @histanthro.org SFS includes six mostly unrecorded accounts of anthropology circa 1970s-80s histanthro.org/notes/theory...

The history of #HIV #AIDS is often told from the Global North. @benjhegarty.bsky.social & co take us to an Indonesian transgender community (waria) to show how ethn. accounts of other HIV/AIDS histories can help us rethink fundamental global health concepts. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
