Rhythms of Connection: A Call for Feeling in Anthropology

I’m pleased to announce the inclusion of the article, "Rhythms of Connection: A Call for Feeling in Anthropology," in Goldsmith's Anthways Journal, Vol 4, Issue 1: Reworlding Anthropology. In this piece, I consider rhythmic attention through the body as an anthropological method, contributing to the broader conversation on Donna Haraway’s call of ‘reworlding’ anthropology.
