#actuallyautistic undergraduate student majoring in anthropology in the U.S. hoping to pursue a PhD. minoring in history and Middle Eastern studies
Topics of Interest include:
cultural and linguistic anthropology
neurodiversity and online communities
trans and nonbinary identities
other queer stuff
immigration/migration
languages: studying French and Arabic
and the intersections between these topics
pronouns: they/them
One of the applications allows extra recommendations and I could still add one so I reached out to someone else. But the other only allows and requires three so I can't add another person as a backup.
I'm just worried that even if everything else was good my applications will get thrown out because I'm missing that one recommendation
Does anyone know about when grad school applications start getting reviewed and like, at what point I'd be screwed if I'm still missing a recommendation letter?
The programs I applied to had a December 1st deadline and I got everything in except for one recommendation letter, however the applications do allow for letters to be submitted after the deadline.
But one still hasn't been submitted and I can't get in contact with the professor.
There is a double standard in academic social and ecological research, to be sure. The International Society of Ethnobiologists code of ethics is a really thorough and good example <https://www.ethnobiology.net/what-we-do/core-programs/ise-ethics-program/code-of-ethics/>, but we have found that academic collaborators in the life and social sciences from North American and European universities were (1) angry at us for insisting on these standards and (2) encouraged their students to circumvent our protocols when we were not actually present. It was hugely destructive. Some anthros we know are trustworthy.
The Code of Ethics of the International Society of Ethnobiology has its origins in the Declaration of Belém, agreed upon in 1988 at the founding of the International Society of Ethnobiology (in Belém, Brazil). The Code of Ethics was initiated in 1996 and completed in 2006. The final version, adopted by the ISE membership at... Read more »

This isn't a zoo
It's not just condescending for you to treat us that way, it's also against a lot of instances' terms of use
See "Use of Scholar Social for research" at the following link for an example:
I feel like this is tricky because for some reason both online communities and disability are extremely unexplored in anthropology, in my experience. But I do like the way that anthropology seems to focus more on qualitative research.
Also my searches just keep bring up online schools which isn't exactly what I'm looking for
I am wondering if anyone knows of good grad school programs in the social sciences (esp. anthropology) that might focus on online communities and/or disability/neurodiversity
I am mostly interested in qualitative research.
I figured y'all might have some good places to start looking
Thanks!

@autistic_anthropologist 2/2 It has a few separate branches of responses, you can see a few more of them here, though be warned that some of the posts in the tag talk about csa / radfems https://freedom-of-fanfic.tumblr.com/tagged/web+2.0+is+the+worst+thing+to+happen+to+fandom/
We also recently did a messy and uneducated ramble about some spaces we were on a long time ago, which seems (based on what we've read from others) kind of like the intermediary of the old forum-based and the current timeline-based https://plural.cafe/@certifiedsystem/106683883264981796socmed.

So at one point in your (fantastic and awesome!) presentation there was a little discussion re older / current social media and communities; I don't know about any actual research and was only barely on the tail end of older web, but I recently read this post mostly in context of fandom communities https://freedom-of-fanfic.tumblr.com/post/169320921074/how-web-20-and-especially-tumblr-is-ruining

My #SummerSchool talk was so great I love getting to infodump about this stuff and talk to others about their experiences!
Thanks to everyone who came!
If you missed it, I'll be uploading a recording with captions sometime soon
