Over the years, I've been surprised a few times when I learned that people who, unlike Haya Adam, didn't quite strike me as the kind were in fact graduates from my alma mater. Looks like SOAS either changed a lot or—more likely—I never saw it for what it is.

#Gaia #culture #social_anthropology #origins I can't tell you how heartened I am to read this piece. Under the guidance of my prof. (#Jean_La_Fontaine) #lLSE #SOAS . I studied the #Yanamamo (they have many names!) of the #amazonas for 5 years. A joyous read but please note the cautionary note in the final paras.

Ostatnio dużo piszemy polityce, to teraz dla odmiany coś o nas. A konkretnie o naszej prezesce, Katarzynie Szymielewicz.

Ciekawi Was, jak wyglądała jej ścieżka zawodowa? Co dały jej studia o rozwoju na #SOAS? Jakie wyzwania zawodowe na najbliższe lata dostrzega? Jaką radę ma dla studentek i studentów prawa?

Odpowiedzi w wywiadzie z cyklu „Prawnicy z pasją” dla portalu „Prawie o prawie”.

@DaveWhittle I did respond when I saw this. I disagree. I know I'm from the era of the fortunate few who were able to travel overland to India & widen my horizons along the way. I returned to pursue my post-grad studies in #Soc_Anth, like many others. A tradition that continues to this day at #SOAS, the #L.S.E and other places of learning. Plus a side interest in the 'History of Mathematics'. Sometimes even the #Guardian gets it wrong!
