Re: Mutual support for remote anth student
by Dreux Richard 27 May '26

27 May '26

Hi Molly and/or Giorgia, Just writing per Molly's advice with something to pass along via the list: Hi All--My name is Drew Richard and I'm a doctoral student here in social anth, drafting my thesis. Although I previously lived in Duendin, I'm studying remotely for the moment, and would love the chance to check in with some of my fellow students from time to time via Zoom (it would provide a welcome morale boost while drafting). Please feel free to get in touch if occasionally checking in about our research and mutual interests appeals to you. Special shout-outs to any other students balancing parenthood with completing their studies, or any students interested in writing outreach pieces in the media (something I have a lot of experience with, and would be happy to help fellow students pursue).

thursday writing hour
by Jodie Jarvis 26 May '26

26 May '26

Kia ora folks! Hope everyone had a good weekend! We have another writing hour scheduled for Thursday this week, 9am-12pm at the Centre of Sustainability, hoping to get back on track with running these biweekly! No worries if you can’t make it or can only come for a part of the time. We will probably run on a sort of pomodoro schedule, i.e. have dedicated quiet writing time with breaks in between for discussion. If you think you will come along, could you flick me back an email to let me know! Hope to see some of you there, Jodie :)

VITALGREENHOUSE is hosted at the Meertens Institute (KNAW) and the Anthropology department (UvA) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Application deadline: June 8, 2026 Starting date: September 1, 2026 Contract: 2 years (24 months), 0.8 FTE VITALGREENHOUSE Project: “In Europe, horticultural greenhouses are under pressure to adapt to changing needs. The push to enhance productivity, coupled with concerns about land, biodiversity loss, and chemical exposure, is challenging Europe’s traditional industrial production model. VITALGREENHOUSE brings anthropological and ethnographic insight into the complex world of industrial greenhouse agriculture. From the nurseries of the Netherlands to the greenhouses of southern Spain, we investigate how growing practices, other than human dynamics, and technological systems intersect to shape food production in Europe. The project investigate how scientists, growers, workers, and environmental groups enact various forms of sustainability in an around the greenhouses”. Postdoctoral Position: “Digital agricultural innovations are often framed by policymakers, international organisations, and private actors as key drivers of sustainable agricultural transitions. This postdoctoral position focuses on the digitalisation of greenhouse horticulture — one of the most contested political and socio-ecological dimensions of contemporary industrial food production. The postodoctoral reseracher will investigate the relationship between digitalisation and sustainability within the framework of the EU Green Deal, developing their own empirical case study — conducting fieldwork in the Netherlands, Spain, or both countries, depending on prior research experience to produce an ethnographic account of digitalisation in greenhouse horticulture”.

FW: Feminist Sensibility: Pedagogical Interventions in Gender and Media Studies from Singapore’Dr Shobha Avadhani (National University of Singapore)
by Social Anthropology Post Graduate Coordinator 15 May '26

15 May '26

From: Rosemary Overell <rosemary.overell(a)otago.ac.nz> Sent: Friday, 15 May 2026 11:32 am To: School of Social Sciences (All Staff) <SchoolOfSocialSciences.Staff.dl(a)otago.ac.nz> Subject: Feminist Sensibility: Pedagogical Interventions in Gender and Media Studies from Singapore’Dr Shobha Avadhani (National University of Singapore) Kia ora Social Sciences colleagues, Please join us for our next Research Seminar on 26th May 10-11am NZT (for your local time:https://tinyurl.com/mucwj5td) with Dr Shobha Avadhani (National University of Singapore) who will be speaking on 'Feminist Sensibility: Pedagogical Interventions in Gender and Media Studies from Singapore’. In person in Burns 4 or via Zoom: https://forms.gle/H9ZfMPwtp85Pso3j9<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle…> Abstract: Gender activism has long existed in Singapore, despite the nation’s neoliberal authoritarian society, where restrictions on civil society have resulted in a "non-transformative politics". Such issues have been complexly addressed through community activism groups using the margins as a space of refusal, the "quiet politics" of queer corporate activism, and state-sanctioned activism of women's organizations. At the same time, in this highly mediatized society, young people encounter a range of gendered practices and hypervisible discourses online that put many of them at risk. Examples include body shaming, incel attacks, and technology-facilitated sexual violence. What does feminist media studies look like in this context of low activism and high visibility that many young Singaporeans experience? Drawing from experience this talk details three entry points for revealing and dislodging a post-feminist sensibility. First, we interrogate their interpellation into United States American culture wars on social media, followed by inviting students to bring their personal stories of gendered experience and media consumption into their engagements with scholarly readings. Finally, we facilitate their unpacking of assumptions about feminism.  Bio: Dr Shobha Avadhani is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Communications and New Media, National University of Singapore. Dr. Avadhani has published research on the intersection of youth, citizenship and new media: the meanings of social and mobile digital media for juvenile delinquents and youths at risk, the changing nature of democratic discourse in hybrid regimes, and the role of the Singapore school in shaping technological citizenship.
