Annals of anthropology beefs:
Just received an email from the organizing committee (OC) of the WAU (World Anthropological Union) Congress, which was very confusing. Apparently some kind of beef between the WAU Steering Committee (SC) and the OC? Perhaps SC people are angry because their panel/paper proposals were not accepted? Anybody have the inside scoop on this?
Here's the OC's published letter about this: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16739502
Any #Durham -based #anthrodons and/or #musodons interested in #VisualEthnomusicology #VisualEthnography and so on?
