🛶 New essay! ⚓
Psychological anthropology finds itself on shifting terrain, stretched across multiple disciplines, methods, and geopolitical worlds.
Thinking with the metaphor of a sea of anchors, @stodulkathomas invites a reorientation of the field—away from singular centers of authority and toward plural, mobile, and relational forms of psychological anthropological knowledge.
He suggests that psychological anthropology cannot remain an abstract disciplinary ideal. It must be understood as a situated practice, shaped by infrastructures of collaboration, by uneven conditions of participation, and by the sensory, affective, and moral ecologies in which psychological life unfolds.

How might a transnational supervision and research network—one that actively supports knowledge formation in a multipolar world—take shape? This is the question we’ve been exploring over the past two days at the Anthropology Department at the University of Münster @ife_muenster@missnosyno1@stodulkathomas@irina_savu_cristea@_hbemma@sensekilo
We’ve been delighted to welcome colleagues and students from NUS 🇸🇬, UGM 🇮🇩, Hekima College 🇰🇪, and the University of Birmingham 🇬🇧, as we work together to imagine and begin to build this network into reality.

The German International Ethnographic Film Festival is coming up in May. Feeling very grateful to be part of this year’s jury, in cosy Göttingen, with its beautiful snowy landscape and the company of inspiring scholars and practitioners of visual anthropology I admire.

Happy new calendar year! May we smooth in to the year of the wild fire horse with calm minds and inspiring encounters to ground ourselves.
Taking a timeout from scrolling online, how about picking up books from your shelf and (re)visiting them? Privileged and blessed with family and down time, I stayed away from gadgets entirely and enjoyed (re)visiting and scroll-reading snippets in and out from these wonderful books 📚 ❤️ --- analogue scrolling rules. 🫶
