I'm so honoured to be a supervisor for Hendrix Hennessy-Ropiha's MA work on this important subject (of place, loss, & suicide, in Aotearoa).

His photography exhibition is open now, in Levin, till 2nd July. There will also be a group kōrero for those interested, this Sunday. #mentalhealth

For the #knitsky crew... @terinskyweaver.bsky.social designs the most incredible patterns featuring custom sigils, designed in response to lived experience of disability & chronic pain.

This one is 'Hope Grows Roots'. Also check out 'Way Home' (short for 'may your pain guide the way home').

Trust the mess? 😅 A beautiful, slightly chaotic writing workshop this morning, and I am now in-process of constructing a 'mega-zine of micro-fiction'.

Thank you to the twelve wonderful writers who shared this space with me ❤️. I cant wait to share our 'Speculative Dictionary of Climate Emotion'

I've been in a whirlwind myself, so decided to extend this deadline out another 9 days, in case anyone else has been caught up in other things, but still wants time to organise a submission. I would love to receive your words. #ethnography #anthropology #poetry sha.americananthro.org/awards/ethno...

It's been difficult to find words for an event that was such a dream come true. My deepest appreciation to all the artists, dancers, writers, scholars, & filmmakers, that joined us for Energy-in-Motion. I am holding onto the sense of movement, reflection, passion and compassion I found there

Big gorgeous writerly weekend ahead. Honestly sometimes I can't believe how lucky I am to be involved in the things I get to do.

So much going on right now (including flying out to the UK in a few hours) but I did want a tiny pause to celebrate what arrived in the mail yesterday. My book exists! Thank you to the many, many people that supported this www.routledge.com/Ethnography-... #ethnography #anthropology #ethnographic

Using my first BlueSky post to share this exciting hybrid conference 8-10 June I've organised with @susanwardell.bsky.social @gair.bsky.social @energy-ethics.bsky.social
#EnergyinMotion #CEE2025
Join us for art workshops, talks, poetry, film and more!

A snapshot of just one of the epic+strange things I get to do! This was D/WELL: an art intervention set up in the middle of the student common room, and co-created over 6hrs yesterday. I'll present more about it at the Energy-in-Motion conference energyethics.st-andrews.ac.uk/energy-in-mo...

Really excited to have put this together! Engaging with 'performance as research' has pushed me to be comfortable running events where I don't control the outcome. I'm so curious to see what emerges from this one... & to talk about it at energyethics.st-andrews.ac.uk/energy-in-mo...

#climatecrisis

The workshop is NEARLY full, so if you were considering joining us, I recommend signing up soon #ethnography #anthropology

Excited to announce the 2025 SHA ethnographic competition is OPEN.

We have tweaked the call for submissions to provide some new provocations, and @atreyee.bsky.social, Minke Nouwens and are running a free online workshop.

It's going to be a good year.
#ethnography #poetry #anthropology

Absolutely ok to share! I'm always glad when people find it useful.

One day I will make an updated version... though my fear (and perhaps the point) is that it is ever expanding and will inevitably cease to fit in the page

Thanks to @sketchesbyboze.bsky.social for reminding me of this Ursula K. le Guin quote.

My lovely (11yo) daughter schemed up this event because she wanted to show adults that "just because we are small, doesn't mean we think small or feel small".

I am excited to help her present it as part of the #Dunedin Fringe Festival.

It was great to be part of compiling this teaching tool, following a workshop at @soasuni.bsky.social last year.

The writing exercise I propose (entitled the 'Speculative Dictionary of Climate Emotion') is in the section on 'Grappling with Distress'.

#climatecrisis

Excited to announce FUNDED positions for 20+ artists.

Hybrid/online infrastructure in place.

It's shaping up to be an unconventional and exciting event at @energy-ethics.bsky.social

Still open for abstracts (but not much longer!)

#climatecrisis

Being invited to co-convene this conference on Climate Emotion was a dream! Open for abstract submissions (from scholars, artists, and activists) for another two weeks.

Join us for creative conversations about grief, joy, anxiety, hope, despair and love, in an era of climate change

Generous and generative guidelines for reviewing creative works, from the Anthropology and Humanism team. Thanks @Fionamur.bsky.social and @susanwardell.bsky.social
