Book cover for Emily Yates-Doerr’s book ‘Mal-Nutrition: Maternal Health Science and the Reproduction of Harm.’
Huge congrats to @eyatesd.bsky.social for winning the Eileen Basker Memorial Prize for her book ‘Mal-Nutrition: Maternal Health Science and the Reproduction of Harm!’ #anthropology #MedicalAnthropology #AAA25
This is a wonderful interview with Celia Roberts www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1... who has pioneered the study of hormones as messengers of meaning. Also (selfishly), a fairly major academic moment for me as an ECR when someone whose work you love finds your own “inspiring”.
It's true! After a few years of work and waiting, this little book is here--suitable for use in intro anth and sociology classes, and a remedy for evidence-free policy proposals (I've been telling people it's like reading the @nytimes.com editorial page, but with actual evidence!).
In research and teaching on the social lives of hormones over the last five years it has always struck me how little attention is given (by public and researchers) to oral contraceptives and their interactions with other drugs. Now we are seeing the consequences: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
My new book, “Sex Is a Spectrum: The Biological Limits of the Binary” publishes today from @princetonupress.bsky.social My goal in writing this book is to facilitate a better conversation. A short thread…
Orange blending into green book cover of "neurodiversity: a very short introduction" by Robert Chapman and Sue Fletcher Watson, with this text written in a white font.
Excited to say that "Neurodiversity: A Very Short Introduction" written by myself and @suereviews.bsky.social is finally ready to preorder! Afaik the first general academic introduction covering the ND movement, ND studies, and applications of ND theory in practice.

Thread with some of my favorite "starter packs" so I can pin it to my feed. Can't vouch for every single follow in these packs, but overall I've been pretty happy with them.

Thriving #Autistic are looking for an animator for a super interesting job with an annoyingly quick turnaround (not their fault).
You'd be working with me, @scrappapertiger.bsky.social and @autisticrealms.bsky.social to produce a few minutes of animation for videos introducing key autism concepts!
I wrote "A Data Governance Framework for Ethnography" six years ago. Not my most cited work, but with over 5000 downloads I know for a fact it's the one that has helped most people (write their data management plans)

Improving Mental Health Therapies for Autistic Children and Young People. A book available in most good bookstores. (The Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families Best Practice guide.)
Very good to see our book is rising fast in the sales lists in good bookstores now. Much needed. With thanks as ever to the editors, and to my fellow contributors.
Hello to lots of new followers (thank you @mw-m.bsky.social and @lancegravlee.bsky.social). Somewhat lapsed social media user here but feeling very refreshed by Bsky!
Thank you!
Here's a start at a Starter Pack for #medanthro, broadly defined. Some of these folks might not call themselves medical anthropologists, but if they study health, healing systems, or human biology in context, I've included them. Let me know who else should be added to the list.
#anthrosky
We did this too (although changed to drop in hours’), and it works wonders!
Some more anthros here : ) #anthrosky #anthropology @chloeahmann.bsky.social @restocruz.bsky.social @ldenyerwillis.bsky.social @tomwidger.bsky.social @radhikagovindrajan.bsky.social
I’ve tried to put together a non-exhaustive list of anthropologists on bluesky together. Did I miss anyone? Should I add you? go.bsky.app/GYEM3YK #anthropology #anthrosky
