Low-Carbon Methods Group

This is incredible. So many zines!

@tjwintermeier There's so much more! We hope you enjoy reading (and looking and touching and doing) this work as much as we have. Have a zine party with your coauthors and kvetching partners, maybe, feel emboldened to make zines of your own, and find the forms that fit your research!

- @tjwintermeier walks us through a short wave radio design that includes carbon paper writing - Jenn Cole maps colonial archives, land relations, and ancestral histories in Algonquin Provincial Park - Roopa Vasudevan shares lessons from teaching and doing experimental publishing

We've a great batch of zines in this year's DIY Methods, our annual conference-by-mail. Packages should hopefully have arrived to all participants. And now today everyone can enjoy the zines via our digital proceedings! hcommons.org/deposits/item/… #DIYMethods24

New podcast conversation with @aepasek and Dr. Ariel Kroon on @SolarpunkP, discussing how decarbonizing academic work can be a way to build a more convivial, more inclusive, and more collaborative university.

Deadline: 15 May for submissions to the "Actualize" and "Fantasize" sections of the special issue of @JEnviroMedia ("Care-ful Convening: towards low-carbon and inclusive knowledge sharing")

The fine folks at CoMMPCT are giving away a really beautiful publication at the AAA/CASCA meeting, and for free online! It's a zine exploring the affordances of print in multimodal/public anthropology. It includes highlights from a conversation w/ Mark Fischer, @sadreorafai + I

Are you at the AAA/CASA conference this week? Check out free zines, stickers, and prompts from #DIYMethods22 and #DIYMethods23 alumni @SiennaRosalisa and @jhunleth. Kids welcome!

@QueerBritain @MelanieDUnrau Text here is layered, decomposed and re-composed, referencing the visual motif of the tracking line (a crew of men wearing harnesses, strapped to a heavy boat, pulling it upstream from the shore). #DIYMethods23

@QueerBritain Finally (for today) is @MelanieDUnrau's The Tracking Line(s), which works with the poetry of a tar sands industrialist with the aim of drawing out the submerged perspectives of the Indigenous labourers bringing the first shipment of bitumous sands out of Fort McMurray.

Let's share more #DIYMethods23 highlights, this time focusing on experiments with poetry. 3 zines in our proceedings (hcommons.org/deposits/item/…) turn to poems to memorialize, interrogate, and/or react to research data... 🧵
