Every now and then these news hit my inbox and make my day. My article on #Circumcision is now published in The International Encyclopedia of Anthropology. Thanks go to Hilary Callan and Simon Coleman for the invitation, the comments, the review process and incredible editorial mastery. And to Swedish Collegium for Advanced Studies - SCAS where I started working on the first draft.
