@RandiIrwin It was such a pleasure, Randi. Congratulations on your publication, it looks great.

Many thanks to so many Sahrawis who made this possible and to those who have generously engaged in this project over so many years. A big thanks also to the reviewers and to @SSNDeakin for hosting me for a period!

My piece on the financialization of natural resources and Sahrawi-led sovereignty in Western Sahara is live! This has been a labor of love over many years and I’m so thrilled to see it in @TheJRAI, have a read here: rai.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…

#Ancestrytests can only tell you about a sliver of your DNA. This is part of what complicates efforts to trace historical lineages. youtube.com/watch?v=T-BwWd… . Further, the viking image we are familiar with is a 19th century cultural construct #ssnseminar

Anna Kallen is online now with the SSN youtube.com/watch?v=T-BwWd…, discussing the storm following links between DNA and viking heritage. The viking figure is uncanny - a Scandinavian symbol with strong connotations of strength, but also fascism #ssnseminar

The next SSN seminar, 17 Sept with Anna Kallen (Sweden) shows how Viking identity has been forged in obfuscated dances between scientific DNA analyses and cultural production of meaning. Join us at DD or online eventbrite.com.au/e/ssn-seminar-… #SSNseminar #vikings

Apologies, that's Debora without the 'h'. Here's a bit more about the work Debora is doing now monash.edu/emerging-tech-…

A bumper crowd here at #EISS2024 today. Deborah Lanzeni just reminded us that in some Latin-speaking languages the root for 'work' is 'torture'. @clairegcoleman raised the experience of work-as-play as something crucial, and not limited to the arts.

Why doesn't 'West' learn from Global South, regarding work flexibility, for example? asks @3Lmantra at #EISS2024 #futuresofwork

@3Lmantra "#Feminism has become retro. What does this mean for work?" Join the conversation here youtube.com/live/PGkrCyMve…
