We invite presenters with research that thinks through the value of anthropology, particularly of ethnography, and considers what it is about ethnography that makes it useful and for what purposes. Papers grounded in ethnographic detail–defined in various ways–will be preferred.

Debt has long been a tool of profit-making, social control and racial domination. And that certainly goes for student loans. Re-upping my animation YOUR DEBT IS SOMEONE ELSE'S ASSET which condenses thousands of years of history into 7 minutes. Cancel it.

Your Debt is Someone Else's Asset

Student loans, medical bills, credit cards — Americans are drowning in a record-breaking $15 trillion in debt.

In Ecuador, 18 days of protests, mobilizations, and a strike forced the neoliberal president to make major concessions like lowering the price of gas, strengthening subsidies, and curbing mining and oil production. The strike had widespread support, as the video shows. 1/3

Those elsewhere may be interested in protest strategies in Ecuador. A major part is shutting down roads going in, out, and around cities. Hundreds to thousands of people march or use burning tires, rocks, and fallen trees to slow travel. 2/3 teapawt.net/CONAIE_Ecuador/status/…

Others in positions of authority or acclaim publicly condemn the policies and collaborate by marching or forming networks of volunteers to feed and house protestors who come from far away. 3/3 teapawt.net/confeniae1/status/1542…

Students for Edmund W. Gordon Tower have long demanded Thorndike Hall, named after a prominent eugenicist, be renamed after the University’s first Black tenured professor. As Gordon approaches 101 years of age, they say the change is even more urgent. ift.tt/3IuYtM2

Hiring is not the right word. Appointment of Romo.
Replying to @Penn
@Penn ⁦@LALS_UPENN⁩ made an Ecuadorian politician who authorized major human rights violations a Visiting Scholar & ignored evidence, petitions, & concern. ⁦@dailypenn⁩ published our (50+ Ecuadorianist scholars) condemnation & account 1/ thedp.com/article/2021/12/up…

@LALS_UPENN even pulled down the scholar's faculty profile while upholding the appointment, leading protesters to believe the appointment had ended. Two months later, the appointment remains but the profile is still absent. Screenshot attached
