Next month will be the 40th anniversary of the “intensive discussions” in Santa Fe, NM, USofA, which gave #anthros the (in)famous Writing Culture text.

There are diverse ways to describe that moment. Many of those would make it a turning point. A pivot? Inflection point? The onset of the #CrisisOfRepresentation?

Any living #ethnographer can reflect upon (and through) that epoch.

In today's #Introduction #Introductions #Connections #TwitterMigration post, where I curate interesting accounts for you to follow on the #Fediverse , I'd like you to meet:

Professor @KathAlbury is a #researcher #academic at #Swinburne, part of @adms (full disclosure: I @admin the server that the ADMS account is on). Her ADMS projects focus on the development of data capability and capacity in #NFP organisations, and data #ethics and speculative #DesignJustice in the field of #SexTech. 🇦🇺 If you're into #DesignJustice,
you may also like the work of @schock.

@blasbenito is a #DataScience and #AgTch #GIS #researcher and #PhD in computational #ecology

@KristinaRiemer is also a #DataScience educator and communit builder @cct_datascience at #UArizona

@simonoid is a #melbourne / #Naarm #nerd and #gamer 🇦🇺

Dr @amykmcl is a #facilitator, #researcher and #ethnographer in #medical #anthropology 🇦🇺

That's all for today, please do share your own lists so we can more closely connect the #Fediverse ❤️

As an #ethnographer, coming back to #freelancing is particularly rewarding as I get to work in #UXresearch. Here, our #fieldwork skills are valued and understood. More than in academia, at least in my experience.

Anyone who’s going through #LearningPathways in a field tied to #ethnography would benefit from interacting with #UX specialists.

So, it's been a while since I did an #Introduction #ConnectionList #TwitterMigration post where, I find interesting people for you to follow on #Mastodon, and use my reach to more closely connect the #Fediverse

Anybody coming up with Mastodon #data #analytic tools...

For instance:
Get a user's comparative toots-replies-boosts stats?
Do something similar for all members of a particular instance?
Who's writing?
Where are all of the boosts for a message coming from?

I'm about as far from a "quant" or coder as you can get, but curious about ways to imagine and describe this new collective community.

I already did an #introduction, but not officially. I am an American living in BC as a professor of #sociology. I am a theorist, by trade, and #ethnographer by necessity, and a photographer when no one is looking. My interests center a classic sociological question: how does the structure/culture of a place shape behavior &, how can these things be changed.

I study adolescent #suicide, suicide clusters, helpseeking, etc. I also study religious & political #evolution. And, etiquette, baseball,
