Asylum seekers in US now ordered to bring their own interpreter, or have their case dismissed. Incredible stupidity: self-selected interpreters obviously not the best recipe for integrity of system. And also illegal: see Art 25 of Refugee Convention.

We continue to be committed to addressing AAA members' concerns about the #AnthroBoycott resolution so they can be as informed as possible when casting their ballots
Concern: “Yes I oppose Israel’s actions, but isn’t this boycott unbalanced since both sides have done wrong?” 🧵

Being a scientist means gazing into the profound mysteries of nature with deep curiosity and wondering
"Can I get a paper out of this?"

The Anthropology Department and the Classics Department have each put in separate requests for a Gibbons scholar. We’ve asked them to run a joint search.

Suppose it's about time we reveal that the Society for Cultural Anthropology is actually just nine graduate students in a tweed jacket 🫣

We always tell our students Indiana Jones is probably less of an archaeologist and more of a man who finally expresses his leather kink.

I love when academic journals are all "who is your audience?"
Friend, my audience is the five university libraries who can afford to subscribe to this journal.

The good news is, we recruited a record freshman class. Bad news is, we’re short of housing. So, we need faculty to double up as we convert some of their offices *back* into dorm rooms. Think of it as an Living Learning Initiative.

Just a reminder that academic articles addressing sexual harassment and assault in fieldwork go mainly unpublished due to reviewer rejection.
Personal accounts are often edited out of academic works and authors are told their content should be relegated to personal blogs.
