Rhythms of Connection: A Call for Feeling in Anthropology

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

I have deep gratitude for the Anthways team and for their support and commitment to publishing forward-thinking research. 📖 Click on the image above or here
