🙌Hi everyone, @afleisch_anthro back on the accounts this week! 🙌
This joke format's a bit passé at this point, but I did have one about tenure track positions in U.S. anthropology. Unfortunately, only 21% of anthropology PhDs will get it...
#AnthroTwitter
Nothing like millennial dark jokes about the jobs crisis in academic anthropology to get your week started! /s

Wishing you a week full of small successes, etc.!

FYI this number came from 2 separate studies published in 2018, one of them here at CulAnth:
culanth.org/fieldsights/ac…
And Speakman et al. published in PLOS ONE in 2018, "Market share and recent hiring trends in anthropology faculty positions:"

Starting in 15 minutes!! If you can't make it, we'll be live-tweeting in this thread!
We're off! @savannahshange begins by clarifying the difference between revolution and abolition: Revolution seeks to win control of the state and its resources, while abolition wants to quit playing and raze the stadium of settler-slaver society for good
Abolition is a messy break-up with the state, a rending; as a methodology, abolitionist anthropology is principally a genre of Black study

A (belated) James Baldwin thread from the CA archives 💐. The (W) Rap On series— loosely inspired by James Baldwin & Margaret Mead’s 1971 conversation Rap on Race— attempts to identify and confront some of the problems that their conversation embodied.

Here's the link to the 1971 conversation between Baldwin and Mead:
On Race and the Good Liberal by Atreyee Majumder who follows Baldwin’s lead in rethinking what an acceptable tone for intellectual discourse is.

While #anthrotwitter isn't always rosy, we have to ask: what's happening in @AmericanAnthro's Communities listserv? As anthropologists, we can examine peoples' practices and explore their broader meanings; pls add ethnographic data to this thread so we can understand these people

"Anti-Blackness: Readings on Violence, Resistance, and Repair" has just begun! Here is the livestream -
Setting things off is @Laurence_Ralph, who notes that for every dollar the Chicago Police Department receives, the department overseeing youth development and houselessness receives five cents, housing receives 12 cents and the Department of Health receives two cents
The country spends $100b per year on policing and $80b on prisons. The call to defund police is a call to reprioritise public resources in the name of radical transformation - @Laurence_Ralph
