📲 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

I have just put a copy of our ASSA trailer on my own YouTube channel, basically because at least so far people seem to really appreciate it, but comments of all kinds are obviously welcome.
The good news is that it is under four minutes.
