If you know of any qualitative research roles in Calgary, Canada (or remote) I’d appreciate it! I’m in the writing up process of my PhD so would love to get some contracts to start building my local network. 2/2

In this week's session, 'Ethnography of the Future,' we discussed Pierre Bourdieu's 'The Forms of Capital' alongside work by @peterbrowning.bsky.social and Luisa Martín Rojo. The conversation was illuminating (as always!), ranging from the politics of taste to the utopianism of protest movements 🌏 📚

A reflective way to wrap up the year. Two days sharing with memory study scholars and presenting my work with Adriana Patiño-Santos looking at Colombian exiles in London, thinking about family memory practices in the diaspora. Thanks to all involved for enriching interdisciplinary conversations.
