I'm looking for an article with good ethnographic methods engaging in buen vivir . Puede ser en inglés o castellano.

How to do we do ethnography in risky contexts? I did not focus on the drug trade in Paraguay, but some stories filtered into my research on the everyday. I propose 'lateral ethnography' as a way to (hopefully) more safely understand some of these dynamics: library.oapen.org/bitstream/ha...

Oct 14th: I am looking forward to presenting a bit of my postdoc research with the Fire and Political Alterity team at the UCopenhagen, discussing the implications of how smallholder farmers view fires as inevitable at the Just Social-Ecological Transformations in Latin America seminar (JSET).

Sigh. I felt like a fair amount of people found me through Academia.edu, especially from LatAm, but I cancelled and eliminated my account.

Friends in the Providence area, please join me at Symposium Books this Saturday 9/20 @ 4pm. I'll be talking about my new book, Something Between Us.

Cover of Acoustic Colonialism: Acts of Mapuche Interference by Luis E. Cárcamo-Huechante. The cover art features a geometric textile design in an olive green and cobalt blue against a black background. The title appears in a cream sans-serif type centered at the top and bottom. Above the design and below the first word of the title sits the subtitle in a cream serif type. The author's name is directly below the design in a cream serif type.

In "Acoustic Colonialism," Luis E. Cárcamo-Huechante examines the role of sound in Chilean and Mapuche cultural production and struggles over colonialism and Indigenous agency. Read the intro for free on our website! #SoundStudies #NativeStudies buff.ly/JXrrr9r

If you (or someone you know) is applying to PhD programs in anthro, geog, STS with a focus on community-based work, check out the Community Research & Action program in my department at Vanderbilt. I am interested in working with students on coastal and heat-related projects. Email with questions.

AI integration initiatives are spearheaded by administrations with little input from faculty members and other campus community members, including staff and students. High levels of concern arose around AI and technology procurement, deployment, and use; dehumanized relations; and poor working and learning conditions. Seventy-one percent of respondents said decision-making and AI initiatives are overwhelmingly led by college or university administrations, and many respondents described administrators exerting great effort to introduce AI into research, teaching, policy, and professional development with little meaning­ful input from faculty members, staff, or students. Examples include the development of institutional AI tools, workshops on teaching and detecting plagia­rism, and subscribing to AI tools for students (such as Grammarly, marketed as an “AI writing partner”) without involving faculty members or students in the decision-making process. One respondent noted that “admin doesn’t seem to care about or value faculty input on this or any other topic” and hoped for “more faculty involvement in determining how AI and tech generally are used.”

The @aaup.org report on AI is so hugely important. Among other key takeaways is the fact that most AI programs have been introduced by administrative fiat and by circumventing meaningful faculty, student, & staff consultation.

That's a wrap! First year seminar "Are we what we eat? Cuisine, Culture and Production" at CollegeUC. We looked at food identity, heritage, and colonization, then examined inequalities in the global food system, proposing interdisciplinary solutions to local case studies.

A new app details where your food comes from — and just how fragile the global food system really is A “first of its kind" tool could help untangle the complex global web of food supply chains and make it more resilient to climate shocks.

What would it take to transform the global food system?

For @philbakernz.bsky.social, redistribution of resources to enable more households to access healthy food is the key.

In my first year seminar, I think it's feasible to require the document to be generated entirely in Google Docs. We have a clear emphasis on skills-building and showing your work, so they might not be fans of it, but I don't think anyone would push back and say they were just going to paste it in.

Fio muito interessante para um panorama sobre o tema.

Unfortunately, roads are well-known causes of deforestation in the Amazon (Jean Melien et al., 2021; Barber et al., 2014; Nepstad et al., 2001; Southworth et al., 2011). Deforestation concentrates around corridors, and roads facilitate ranching's entry into formerly difficult to reach areas.
