So pleased to see Mardi Reardon-Smith's book "Making Do: Conservation Ethics and Ecological Care in Australia" is out any minute now. Grab a copy + tell your librarian to grab a copy! @mardirs.bsky.social www.sup.org/books/anthro...

Looks fantastic - huge congrats to all!

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...

Looking forward to the Zoonosis as a Historical and Anthropological Question conference @standrewsanthro.bsky.social next week! wwrat.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/zoonosis-as-...

Read @mgbevans.bsky.social and my introduction to the forum and the contributions at www.medanthrotheory.org/mat/article/.... “How do we grapple with the ghosts of racial science in contemporary biological research?” @profemmakowal.bsky.social @dukepress.bsky.social

Our wonderful new book forum just out on Emma Kowal’s Haunting Biology in Medicine Anthropology Theory - with smart and generous contributions by Frederic Keck @fredkeck.bsky.social, Ros Williams @ros-w.bsky.social, Beth Greenhough and Trevor Engel

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.

I see there's an opening panel discussion, followed by apéritif! In Paris. Wish I could join them...

Potentially an interesting workshop on 'symbiotic viruses' at the Collège de France, March 4-5 - an excellent line up. I'm keen to learn how they revive an old trope...

Thanks Warwick! It was great group of people, it would be have been nice to have you. The opening aperitif and panel at the College de France was very lively. We had some very interesting conversations I’ll be sure to fill you in on…

At the 6 month mark of my fellowship on symbiotic viruses @ieadeparis.bsky.social - brilliant year so far working with colleagues in Paris in virology, anthropology, health and medicine. My office is located above where Baudelaire lived for a short time. And now it’s springtime in Paris…
