Maryvale (a neighborhood in Phoenix, AZ) is more than 75% Hispanic. The lack of available testing & increasing inequities in COVID-19+ rates in AZ Latinx communities is unacceptable, unjust, an outrage.

Reviewer 2 has pasted a *block quote* from one of my decade-old papers into his review. So I could see how important my own argument was. Y’all, I am unexpectedly delighted and charmed by this experience.

Just got a big batch of submissions to Field Methods from women first-authors. And we haven't seen clear gender disparities in submissions over the last few months. Encouraging.

Spent this morning catching up on @aballes2 's stunning 2019 body of work. Her book, A Future History of Water, is still available for free download, and the Annual Review of Anthropology article on water adeptly covers recent terrain in our field. Huge congratulations, @aballes2 !

New methods paper: we compare mixed-method analyses of social network interviews to identify stakeholder groups. We found qual (theme) analysis was more efficient than quant (component) analysis, in that it yielded a stable result within 16 interviews. with @mhberesford & friends

Using data from over 1000 anthropologists-who-teach in North America, we compare best practices for learning ethnographic methods to how they are taught... and find need for improvement-and may good practices too. Read open access. @DrRuth_Alissa @AWutich

This summer, 40 of our ASU faculty show up *every week* to discuss the pandemic & our teaching. It's not required. There stopped being new information weeks ago. I actually think we all just want to see each other. It's quite sweet really. I love it at @ASUBeingHuman 💜

The 1st @HWISE_RCN in Elementary School Lesson on #WaterInsecurity and #HumanRightToWater for 8-11 year olds has launched. Students loved carrying 10 L of water (aka 22 lbs of rocks) to get a better feel for JMP Basic access. They voted on the best tool for HRW monitoring...

What people call "cancel culture" is norm enforcement. It's how people with low social power collectively oppose & change norms they can't accept. (People with high social power write a letter in Harper's.) Compared to stigma, canceling is less dangerous: it's reversible.
