Marching to Remember
During the several days drive from my home in Minnesota to my primary fieldwork base in New York, I stopped for an evening's rest in Cleveland, Ohio. Police cars and barricades lined the city's streets - remnants of the day's protests in response to the recent acquittal of Michael Brelo, a white police officer involved in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black couple.
Tales of the Unexpected
This is an extract from a podcast, Dead Air, that I have produced in Fiji while undertaking research on Indo-Fijians and missionaries. Mastro, a Fijian of Indian descent, tells a tale of how he purchased his first house in the 1980s. Framed in a trope associated with Roald Dahl, it was intended as entertainment but it also offers a way to think about pertinent issues in Fiji, such as land and race.
Listening with attention
I work with diseases transmitted by insects. I explore how anthropology, in collaboration with ideas and practices drawn from science and art, may transform public understandings of them.
In the particular case of this recording, everything started when Marian Sanmartino invited me to create something related with Chagas disease by using sounds.
