Episode 3: “Intimacy” SALON B HOLIDAY SPECIALAs many of us find ourselves reinterpreting the idea of intimacy in the face of pandemic isolation, we are delighted to invite you into our salon for a while as we gather with academics and colleagues from the press.   On this episode, we are featuring Selcen Küçüküstel author of the forthcoming title EMBRACING LANDSCAPE: Living with Reindeer and Hunting among Spirits in South Siberia, as well as Andrew Dawson and Simone Dennis, editors of this year’s special volume of the journal Anthropology in Action focusing on “Covid-19 and the Transformation of Intimacy.” And, in a special segment, a few of our colleagues share beloved holiday recipes and memories of family, friends, and food.

“I went into this thinking that objectivity and neutrality were the Name of the Game. That you couldn't do good research if you were in any way biased or if you had your own opinions or experiences or values that might influence the research.” In episode number 4 of our STS Series, Dr Jacqui Hoepner, an early career research fellow at the Australian National University. They begin by discussing Jacqui's PhD experience, where she originally set out to navigate the tricky landscape of wind turbines and public health, with good intentions to be a neutral researcher in a very politicised realm, but after receiving some serious push-backs she chose instead to turn her attention to silencing in academia. Then they unpack further what it means to have academic freedom and question where you draw the line around what research should and should not be done. They end by talking about reflexivity and what value anthropology has in studies of science.

The future of smoking in Australia seems to be up in the air. Last week North Sydney CBD announced plans to go smoke free, a decision that comes on the back of Big Tobacco’s failed attempt to get around Australia’s ban on vaping in public places. Regulations on smoking and other vices raise questions about not only the use of public space, but also the conflict between public health and individual rights. On this episode of The Brief, Simone Dennis shines a light on the unintended consequences of vice policies – from the growing fear of third-hand smoke to the potential for anti-smoking agendas to compound social inequalities. Professor Simone Dennis is a Senior Lecturer in Anthropology at the ANU Research School of Humanities & the Arts, specialising in Social and Cultural Anthropology, Public Health and Health Services. Edwina Landale is the presenter of The Brief. She is a student of Politics, Philosophy, and Economics at the ANU.

In this episode, Simone Dennis walked us through tips and techniques to eliminate debt. We discussed: that ABCD technique of debt elimination what lifestyle inflation actually… The post POM046: The ABCDs of Debt Elimination with Simone Dennis appeared first on Pocket of Money, LLC.

This month, Ian (1:25) digs into Bitcoin, arguing that the cryptocurrency is no different than regular currencies, and can be analyzed along all the same lines: symbolically, materially, institutionally, relationally. “The same material problems of decay that would affect some other kind of material currency like a Subscribe on Androidcoin or a bill still applies to Bitcoin.” Ian mentions podcast episodes from NPR's Planet Money (“#816 Bitcoin Losers”) and and Gimlet's Reply All (#115 The Bitcoin Hunter”), and Chris Gregory's classic study of currencies and value, Savage Money: The Anthropology and Politics of Commodity Exchange (Harwood Academic, Amsterdam, 1997). Next, Julia (6:40) brings us the curious case of the hamster in the bathroom: a woman who, when challenged by an airline, flushed her emotional support hamster down the toilet. Arguing that even rodents can be granted kin-like status, and referring to Simone Dennis's ethnography For the Love of Lab Rats: Kinship, Humanimal Relations, and Good Scientific Research (Cambria Press, Amherst, N.Y, 2010), Julia says, scientists “spoke about this sacrificial economy that was happening, where the animals would ultimately have to be killed after the experiments, was balanced with this calculus of care.” So how could this flushing happen? Jodie (11:12) asks, are academics working too hard? Or not hard enough? And what does the debate means about the nature of academic work? She takes us through a recent Twitter battle, when Jay Van Bavel (Social Neuroscientist from NYU), following the work of John Ziker (anthropologist from Boise State), tweeted: “The average #professor works over 60 hours a week (from one university) and 30% of their time is spent on emails or meetings.” Then Nicholas Christakis, a Yale professor whom Jodie wrote about in a previous blog post, replied: “I tell my graduate students and post-docs that if they're working 60 hours per week, they're working less than the full professors, and less than their peers.” The debate soon hit blogs and the mainstream media, including the Atlantic. As Ian argues, “These parameter of what counts as an appropriate amount of work seem to have come out of completely other areas of labor. Whereas, with this life of the mind, which, when it's at its best, is fun, and doesn't feel like labor in the same way that other kinds of work do; which, at its worst, is a nagging earworm in your skull that even invades your dreams, and that there is no time, conscious or unconscious, when you're not working; it becomes very hard along those parameters to determine what's an appropriate amount.” Finally, special guest Liam Gammon (16:20), the editor of New Mandala, the ANU-based blog for Southeast Asian studies and politics, talks through the special contributions anthropologists can make to political commentary. “I think that the methods and the perspectives of anthropologists really lend themselves to the kind of medium that New Mandala promotes... in a sense it's looking at national affairs, and politics, history, and culture from the ground up.” Find these shownotes at www.thefamiliarstrange.com/podcast This anthropology podcast is supported by the Australian Anthropological Society, the schools of Culture, History, and Language and Archaeology and Anthropology at Australian National University, and the Australian Centre for the Public Awareness of Science, and is produced in collaboration with the American Anthropological Association.

Mundane governance doesn't sound too interesting, huh? But it's actually crazy fascinating!  In this week's episode we crashed this Mundane Governance Conference and had not one, but three beers with three interesting people. And look, we admit it we laughed a little at the the conference tite at first, but then we found it was chock full of intriguing people and ideas. Seriously, check this out: First we yacked with Professor Simone Dennis about 'governance of the tongue', how there are rules about how we taste stuff, and how anthropologists are concerned with 'pre-swallowing'... Next, we mused about how your Fitbit might be conspiring with big business to take over your brain and life and Netflix favourites list (or something like that...)with Dr Kate Henne.  Finally, we dove into the big issues with Professor Steve Woolgar and heard about recycle bin rage (seriously), and how 101 mls of liquid on a plane is super-dangerous, but 10 litres of that same liquid in a bin at the airport is just hunky-dory. Honestly, we could have kept talking with any of these guest for hours (but don't worry, we didn't) - listen in here and have your view of the mundane changed forever! Scintillatingly beige regards, Rod'n'Will
