I understand why people are leaving, but I can't stop thinking that US-based academics relocating to that more civil forum will only further isolate the university from the rest of US society and the rest of the world. As a public anthropologist, I am determined to stay.

- What a great resource for student ethnographers:
- Interested in pursuing a PhD in anthropology? @BrownAnthro is currently accepting applications to our fully funded program. International students welcome. No GRE required. Deadline to apply: Dec 1. See more details here:
- What would you say are some of the most influential #Anthropology works of the 21st century? Preparing syllabus for @BrownAnthro senior seminar & would appreciate ideas for what future anthropologists must read before they graduate from college. #AnthroTwitter @AmericanAnthro
- Postcards to future ethnographers: my ethnographic methods students @WatsonInstitute shared their fieldwork experiences and advice with those who will embark on this journey in the years to come when I teach this class to a new cohort. What a treasure!
- Lilia was the most brilliant & generous teaching fellow for my ethnographic methods course @HarvardAnthro, all while going through this unconscionably challenging and humiliating process. Awe and respect to all three. nytimes.com/2022/02/08/us/…
- What ethnographies have good/exemplary methods sections with a robust discussion of research ethics (informed consent and all)? I notice more sociologists do this, but what about anthropologists? #anthrotwitter
- Some big professional news: I have accepted a tenured position as the Watson Family Associate Professor of International Security and Anthropology at Brown University. I’m really excited about this next chapter of my academic life starting in January @WatsonInstitute @BrownAnthro
- My new book has a cover! Look for EXIT WOUNDS in bookstores in April 2024. @ucpress @liatjandra @DGandBTweets @jkpapin #ExitWoundsBook #BookTwitter #CoverReveal
- Fellow anthropologists and #anthrotwitter: what anthropology books published in the 20th century should every anthropology student read before they graduate?
- If you've done ethnographic (or similar) fieldwork, what is one thing you would have liked to know beforehand to help you prepare? I'll be teaching a workshop for grad students ready to start research & I'm wondering what logistical, legal, personal etc issues to cover
