A very interesting article (open access) in @theoryculturesociety.org on non-human animal cultures and extinctions, written by wonderful colleagues, led by @thomvandooren.bsky.social including our PhD Sam Widin. But didn't Darwin and later animal ecologists write on animal cultures? #envhum #STS

Great to see Greg Hollin's article out in Cultural Anthropology! A (depressingly) timely piece on what happens when labour organising is interpreted through a post-truth lens, which weaves together ethnography, contemporary critiques of neoliberalism & the 'zany' journal.culanth.org/index.php/ca...

This is such a good (and TIMELY) article by Greg Hollin on attempts to unionize pro wrestlers, and what organisation and activism look like in a space when narratives are always openly constructed, contingent an "zany." journal.culanth.org/index.php/ca...

Sorry for not really using this then posting something spammy, but just seen my article on lifestyle movement media, digital veganism, and ethical tensions is now out in the Journal of Cultural Economy: doi.org/10.1080/1753... I've worked on it for ages, so hopefully it's at least a bit useful!

As I spent an overly long time drawing a very basic shark, I wanted to share this poster for animal studies / STS seminar series at Sheffield this year! Further info here: sites.google.com/sheffield.ac... Am super chuffed that some *amazing* people are coming to share their work!
