Hi! A short #introduction: research on parallel tracks of medical #anthropology plus interdisciplinary study of #disasters.

Recent focus during the #covid19 #pandemic via #art and #netnography on the #Amabie phenomenon in #Japan and globally. Academia needs to take #creativity seriously.

Previous roots in classic music and fine arts.

Thinking about this brilliant and empathetic post ( https://www.hughrundle.net/home-invasion/ ).

Part of my research is netnography - the type of research referenced here. But I want to be clear that I will never take toots or tweets for it without consent because I believe that should be the ethical floor for it. The harm done by just using them is obvious and the popii study has been used for research without their consent enough.

Home invasion - Mastodon's Eternal September begins

The fediverse is dealing with a huge wave of Twitter people bringing toxic ideas with them.

@Downes @cogdog Speaking of that #DunbarNumber, I wonder if there’s room to revisit his work, from the perspective of #netnography. I’ve only heard the number mentioned outside of #anthropology.
