Anthro (or adjacent) friends: I'm developing a roundtable for the @anthrosciences.bsky.social annual meeting (at SfAA, Albuquerque, 03/17-03/21), "Unhexing the Hexagon: Cognitive Anthropologists in Dialogue" where each presenter talks about a new-ish #cogsci paper (not their own) of anthro interest.

Cognitive anthropology has long been conceptualized as one of the six disciplines of the 'hexagon' encompassing cognitive science, but this integration is hindered by a lack of dialogue by both cognitive scientists and anthropologists. This roundtable aims to take a step towards stronger linkages by having anthropologists discuss recent work from the cognitive sciences broadly (e.g., neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, AI, philosophy) that is relevant to their work, and that would be of interest to an audience of anthropologists. Each presenter will briefly introduce an article from the last 10 years, authored by a non-anthropologist, and explain how it informs, or could inform, your work or research in cognitively oriented anthropology. So, for instance, you might talk about an experimental psychology study, or an empirical paper from cognitive linguistics, or a conceptual advance from the philosophy of mind. We would then be able to have a lively discussion about these studies that can inform and advance anthropological science.
