Among our new books of October is "Homeplaces" a collection edited by @brazil_lab and @FNeiburg, which brings together leading anthropologists to examine how people and houses shape each other during crises. buff.ly/bWWE29D
ALT Cover of Homeplaces: Dwelling and Habitability in Critical Times edited by João Biehl and Federico Neiburg. The cover shows a person dressed warmly swinging an axe overhead while in the process of chopping wood. There is a building with boarded up windows and wooden housing debris laying around. The title is written in a yellow sans serif font and is hyphenated to span two lines of text. The subtitle is below aligned left in white. The editors names appear at the very bottom of the cover in a light blue against a solid navy blue background.

I sometimes reread this essay just to remind myself that the smartest things have already been said by Rayner and Sarewitz. (And to marvel at their incredible intellectual relationship and friendship?)
"Policy Making in the Post-Truth World: On the Limits of Science and the Rise of Inappropriate Expertise," Steve Rayner's final essay with Daniel Sarewitz, now out in @TheBTI journal: thebreakthrough.org/journal/… (1/2)

Can the principles of 'harm reduction,' used to mitigate the health impacts of drug use, be extended to drug producers (coca growers) and the nexus of disease and toxic exposure that they face?

Over the weekend, @UniofOxford awarded a posthumous MPhil in Anthropology to pioneering Māori scholar, Mākereti Papakura.
Mākereti’s studies explored the customs of her people of Te Arawa from a female perspective. Tragically, she died very shortly before presenting her thesis.

What if harm reduction applied to drug production, not just drug use?
Our new piece with Javier Lezaun (@InSIS) calls for a radical reframing of health & justice for Colombia’s coca growers.
