I love teaching that text along with Mumford on authoritarian vs democratic technics, and they're both so old! Key idea for me: What types of political arrangements does modern technology allow for? I find the whole discussion on tech characteristics and political form very generative (130-133)

Isn't this a major source of tension in academic departments in the US? I don't understand why salaries aren't standardized across years of service/ranking. I think it's a way to keep us in competition and break solidarity between faculty. and it works.

what inspiring books from the 90s' anti-globalization movement should we be reading now to make sense of the political power of big tech, if any?

Are you an anthropologist working in Latin American or the Caribbean? Or maybe you just want to know more about the region? Here's a starter pack of some of the members of SLACA (The Society for Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology): go.bsky.app/LGV4jHn

I’ve tried to put together a non-exhaustive list of anthropologists on bluesky together. Did I miss anyone? Should I add you? go.bsky.app/GYEM3YK #anthropology #anthrosky

I started STS scholars (broadly construed) starter pack!

It's VERY incomplete! I wasn’t sure if there was an easier way to do this than just going through my followers & adding people. Probably missed lots of folks!
Please let me know who I missed or if you'd like to be added.
