Just returned from a rewarding field visit to #Norway. It was a pleasure to be back @uio.no to deliver a talk on Austronesian migration 🌏. Following the talk, I travelled north into the #Arctic Circle ❄️ to spend time with the Sámi community 🦌 as part of an ongoing #research project.🧙‍♂️

As we mark the anniversary of the 228 Incident in #Taiwan, we are reminded that authoritarianism is never far from the surface. Democracy is not a fixed state; it is a process—one that requires vigilance, participation, and an unwavering commitment to justice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sLi...
