@castanedaNessa Slightly different: we published a special issue with students and staff writing on tiktok. The TikTok ethnography collective is a staff-student collaborative project :) : teachinganthropology.org/ojs/index.php/…

Anthropologists and ethnographers: I’m trying to build a methodology course that focuses on collaborative, reciprocal, and community-based ethnography and methodologies. Could you please share suggestions with me? Thank you!

Good to see @BBCNews holding @MayorofLondon to his promises. We should all have the right to control how much gambling advertising we want to experience #newgamblingact bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

We've had a great deal of interest in our brand-new Coinscrum Courses series, and we're extremely excited about the launch!🙌 'The Human Side of Crypto' course begins the Wednesday, 14th of February 2024.🎓 With limited spaces, time to claim your spot in the inaugural session is running out. ⏰ Leading up the course is accomplished Professor and lecturer @YatuYoga 👨‍🏫 ⏬⏬⏬ -- Dr Yathukulan Yogarajah is a lecturer in the anthropology of enterprise at UCL, London. His research explores how and why cryptocurrencies have become meaningful to a great many people. He conducted his fieldwork within the Old Street Roundabout in London, and online. As an anthropologist, his work focuses on how people are using cryptocurrencies now, rather than imagining how people might use them in the future. He has lectured modules on: Economic Anthropology; Anthropology of Capitalism; Creative and Collaborative; Politics, Economics, and Social Change; amongst others. His work places cryptocurrencies within wider political, economic, and historical arcs. -- Let's celebrate Dr Yathukulan Yogarajah in leading up this amazing session and unique perspective! 🎉 Join us: eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-human-si… #crypto #Bitcoin #blockchain #anthropology #study #course #UCL #human

In the interests of transparency, will the organisations involved in consultations following the #gamblingwhitepaper including @DCMS @DHSCgovuk and @GamRegGB undertake to publish lists of attendees, the reasons they were selected, and to make public the content of the meetings?

Enjoyed reading Elena Liber’s brilliant chapter in The Legacies of Soviet Repression and Displacement “It Didn’t Happen Here, or Happen Now, But It Happened to Us": Stories of Bread and Hunger in L’viv, Ukraine @ElenaLiber @UCLanthropology routledge.com/The-Legacies-o…

So depressing to hear @lucyfrazermp say that regulations must not get in the way of 'people who want to have a flutter'. Please stop using the cosy image of a two pound bet on the National to justify a massive commercial industry based on exploitation.plutobooks.com/9780745340395/…

If the voluntary levy remains the primary method of funding, the independent research that is desperately needed, including about gambling and suicide, will not get done. No more status quo. Retweet if you agree. #gamblingreview @DCMS @GambleAware @GamRegGB
