Has anyone recovered from T & F swallowing Amsterdam University Press? So much for the generous labour of editors, peer reviewers, & scholars who believed in O/A. You probably know where to find Transnational Flows —a volume I co-edited with Barak Kalir during my PhD.

Pleasures of academia - in conversation with great colleagues & editors. On conjugal futures, traffic in things, cycling, care and communities & eating with fingers. Thinking across anthropology, history, geography & STS.

This classic work in the history of nationalism argues that the rise of widely available print (esp. newspapers) made it possible for geographically dispersed groups of people to imagine themselves as a roughly coherent entity called "a nation" in which there was an ongoing conversation.

Hey friends at #AAA2024Tampa !! The book exhibit closes way earlier than usual. We are only open until Friday at 1pm (not Saturday at 4 as in earlier years). All books are $15 -- even better than our online sale discount.

It seems Spectacles of Waste as a book is available in the US and UK (but Australia not yet). The electronic version available everywhere. As Anna Tsing kindly says, 'Anderson puts the "anal" back in analysis and the "colon" back in colonialism.' That's good, isn't it? #STS #anthro #histSTM #histsci

My revised Bernal lecture is now online, open access, in @sthv.bsky.social. I reflect on what historians and STS scholars may learn methodologically from Pacific anthropologies, and the vagaries of the postcolonial... #STS #histSTM doi.org/10.1177/0162...
