Check out the latest issue of Cultural Anthropology‘s Hot Spot: “Occupy, Anthropology, and the 2011 Global Uprisings.” The collection is guest edited by Jeffrey S. Juris and Maple Raza, and includes 20 essays from ethnographers and activists around the world, myself included.
Convoking the Radical Imagination
A new article just out by myself and Max Haiven in Cultural Studies<=>Critical Methodologies about the radical imagination and the Halifax Radical Imagination Project. Online first, in print soon!
A short article I wrote with my colleague, Dr. Anthony Davis, about rising inequality in Canada…
Two new writing projects in the works:
First, I’m thrilled to announce that Insurgent Encounters: Transnational Activism, Ethnography, and the Political, a collaborative volume I’ve co-edited with Jeffrey Juris, will be published in the not-too-distant future by Duke University Press. The volume brings together a diverse and critically engaged group of scholar-activists (or activist-scholars) who reflect on questions relating to contemporary social justice struggles, knowledge production, political possibility, and the relationship between ethnography – and knowledge work more broadly – and the political. Stay tuned for updates as the book heads into production.
Second, I’m equally thrilled to announce that Fernwood Publishing has agreed to publish a collective volume currently in progress by Anthropologists for Justice and Peace. Entitled Paths Out of Empire: Anthropologies of Resistance and Prefiguration, the volume brings together anthropologists working in the Canadian context to critically consider the ways anthropology can serve to confront systems of power, violence, and inequality and how it can contribute to struggles for radical social change.
