Hey anthropologists, what is an ethnography that you return to again and again, whether because you love it or hate it?

"In order to navigate these uncharted waters successfully, we must all be willing to embrace institutional agility and commit to doing things in a different way. Our planning and responsiveness to current realities will enable us to fully invest in our number one customer at UH Mānoa, our students"

The designers of my building sacrificed a planned painting classroom in order to leave room for this magnificent baobab tree. That was fifty years ago and it continues to grow through the spaces of the building (my office is right behind it)

View of the corner of a modernist concrete building on a tropical college campus. The building is about forty feet high and a gigantic tree, growing partly inside it, towers over it by another twenty or thirty feet.

What happens to remote, rural communities when scores of younger people leave? The authors address this question through a comparative approach to contiguous highland societies in Nepal using the lens of population churn

Nepal Puts Cost of Disaster at $5 Billion, Blaming Climate Change (Gift Article)

The country is seeking urgent help from a special U.N. climate fund, but the program lacks money because the United States and others have been reluctant to contribute.

I'm definitely annoyed by the portrayal of women athletes so far this season. Rather infantilizing.

"Our ancestors knew not to live next to Himalayan rivers. Nepal’s townships used to be located along high ridgelines, and floodplains were only used to grow food or grind grain. Bridges were temporary, and designed to be rebuilt after monsoon floods washed them away."

Not if, but when next?

No one could have predicted this disaster would happen when it did, but we all knew it would happen one day.

I love those moments when someone gifted sings in public, but not for show. Especially in lonely hospital corridors, or empty university hallways – it always shifts my state of mind.

Gearing up for eye surgery number 3! 1st one saved my vision (most of it). 2nd one hopefully prevents retinal detachment in the other eye. 3rd is to remove a cataract caused by the 1st.

My monograph came out with @universitypress.cambridge.org this July. I examine how the end of the one-child policy has reshaped women’s labor rights. As China confronts population decline, how are Chinese women navigating rights infringement, while envisioning the pathways to a gender-equal future?
