  1. Annals of anthropology beefs:

    Just received an email from the organizing committee (OC) of the WAU (World Anthropological Union) Congress, which was very confusing. Apparently some kind of beef between the WAU Steering Committee (SC) and the OC? Perhaps SC people are angry because their panel/paper proposals were not accepted? Anybody have the inside scoop on this?

    Here's the OC's published letter about this: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1673950

  7. @markwyner You might be interested to check out how Graeber & Wengrow criticize Dunbar's number. They argue that it might apply to other primates, but not to humans. (Sorry, I don't have a page number, this is from the EPUB version, but it's from chapter eight.)

    Come join us in person or via zoom for our Workshop "#Sustainability in use: bureaucratic processes and technology use in Africa"! We want to explore the interdependent #articulations of #bureaucratic and #technological processes; i.e. things like borrowing #technologies with the intention of standardising procedures, but also how technologies themselves, esp. #infrastructures, engender #bureaucratisation in their management.
