Anthropology Today recently published a short editorial by Mike Pitts about the reality TV series, American Digger. The essay problematizes the show's representation of archaeology and its related practices. In the process it provides a nice overview of the responses and positions taken by public organizations like SAA and AIA. For instance, "The president of …
Recently, I came across an article by Mimi Thi Nguyen called "The Biopower of Beauty: Humanitarian Imperialisms and Global Feminisms in an Age of Terror," which functions as an excellent companion piece to Liz Mermin’s documentary film, The Beauty Academy of Kabul. In this article, Nguyen describes how the “biopower of beauty” is operationalized “in …
Recently I came across an interesting article about the Arts and Crafts movement that might be of interest to design educators or working on related subjects (e.g. technology studies, aesthetic theory). Written by Francis E. Mascia-Lees as part of an edited volume, the article draws on her ethnographic research among crafts people in the United …

Recently I came across a helpful article that I would like to share with those of you who are interested in design education. The article was written by Timothy Waal Malefyt and it was published in the American Anthropologist 2009 111 (2): 201-210.

Not long ago I came across a fascinating article in the The Lancet that I would like to share with those of you who are interested in design studies and/or science and technology studies. This succinct but rich essay was written by Columbia University and Barnard College professor Lesley Sharp, who by training is a …
For those interested in the study of design education I would like to introduce a provocative article by the Anthropologist Webb Keane.
