📲 Our researcher @amberwanguk spoke to @restofworld about social media use in factories in China.
🇨🇳 In recent years, content filmed by factory workers has become its own established genre on platforms like Kuaishou & Douyin (domestic version of TikTok).

What does it mean to age 'well'? I talked with anthropologists Iza Kavedžija, @MattLariv & @JasonDanely about experiences of ageing around the world and how people challenge negative assumptions of ageing. This convo was truly inspiring for me!anchor.fm/public-anthropolog… @RoyalAnthro
