Senses as method
This article is part of a broader project that challenges dominant readings of social interactions with the aim of decentring authoritative accounts of knowledge production in social anthropology and cognate disciplines. I examine field research examples that reveal the differential value placed on senses, emotions and memory in telling personal and community stories from the bottom up. This article draws on Haraway’s composting storying approach…

The enduring myth of endemic age discrimination in the Australian labour market
It has often been stated by older people's advocates that discrimination affecting older people is commonplace and ongoing in the Australian labour market. In this article, we contrast such rhetoric with a review of evidence from recent large-scale surveys which demonstrates that low and declining numbers of Australians experience age discrimination, while highlighting the complexity of the phenomenon. We identify the emergence of a fake ‘age’ ad…
City Rhythms
Moving beyond a rhythmanalysis approach to banal mobilities and diurnal journey making - commuting, visiting, shopping, leisure - this paper explores how place-dependent forms of transport shape the feel and flow of the city. Theorizing the city as polyrhythmic reveals multiple traces of local/global and past/present in the socio-historically situatedness of urban mobilities. Based on 20 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Ho Chi Minh City, I rec…
Social Distancing, Interaction, and (Un)crowded Public Space in Mass Transit in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Vietnam's national response to the COVID-19 pandemic is informed by its past experiences of fighting endemic disease. This response involves an emerging biosocial paradigm of long-term adaptation to living with the co-presence of viral infections. Moving beyond traditional anthropological work, this article issues an invitation to (re)think crowds and COVID-19. I offer a path forward by engaging in an interdisciplinary dialogue, drawing inspirati…
Flow and flood
Traffic in mega-urban Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) demonstrates the transformative powers of vehicles and transport infrastructures. Like eddies of a river, traffic flows are abiotic actors – other-than-human physical phenomena that influence how traffic makes its way. But the liquid sense of flow in Vietnamese imaginings has unique qualities that challenge singular conceptualisations of the Anthropocene. Moving beyond human-centredness, this paper re…
Ladies Selling Breakfast
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s largest city, supports a vibrant street food culture. Most of the city’s street-engaged food traders are poor and unskilled women, and there is scant research about how they build social networks and social capital that sustain their microbusinesses. This article focusses on the intimate socialities that street-engaged food traders develop with customers, shop owners and sister-traders in order to stabilise their incom…
Stuck in motion
Public space in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam, appears to be malleable and unsettled. Located in a developing mega-urban region, the city is undergoing rapid economic growth and development. Its public spaces are emerging, disappearing, and transforming. The Saigon Bus network is a subsidised but flailing mass transit system. Taken as a public space, it highlights some of the particular features of public spaces in East Asian socialist context…
Camaraderie and Conflict
Rapid expansion of South Korean investment in Asia and Africa highlights a need to understand how local staff manage intercultural communication, particularly involving conflict with their superiors. South Korea is Vietnam's largest investor and the Southern Key Economic Zone hosts the majority of 1252 projects and 70,000-80,000 South Koreans working in Vietnam. This paper reports on a mixed methods data set comprising 356 survey responses and ni…
Living with Authoritarianism
Future-making Tactics
Practices of environmental sustainability in Vietnam are not new, although these may align to managing austerity and rural living. In Ho Chi Minh City, tactics deployed by middle-class professionals shaping their futures involve conscious choices about transport, manual labour, consumption, and relations with the natural world for a more sustainable city. Such choices are constrained by frictions, such as lacking capital or rejecting globalised p…
Health Impact of Hurricanes Irma and Maria on St Thomas and St John, US Virgin Islands, 2017–2018
Objectives. To assess the health impact of Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria on St Thomas, US Virgin Islands. Methods. We collected data from interviews conducted 6 and 9 months after the hurricanes, a review of 597 randomly selected emergency department (ED) encounters, and administrative records from 10 716 ED visits 3 months before, between, and 3 months after the hurricanes. Results. Informants described damaged hospital infrastructure, incl…
Regardless of Age”
As with other industrialized nations Australia’s population is aging and older workers are encouraged to work for longer. At the same time, Australia’s university sector, which is aging, is being reconfigured through changes that potentially marginalize its older workers as higher education institutions try to become more competitive in a global market. In this context, youthfulness appears to embody competitiveness and academic institutions are …
The Older Worker
The roles that older workers play in labour markets has received a great deal of policy and academic scrutiny in response to economic crises and demographic change. As a starting point, this focus has paradoxically resulted in insufficient attention to older workers themselves. The article is thus concerned with refocusing the agenda for research onto the older worker. Building on an extensive literature review, four gaps in knowledge are identif…
Bridging the grey divide
Rapid global population ageing is considered to be one of the major social and economic challenges of our time. Numerous committees, scores of official reports, and vast amounts of academic literature internationally have been devoted to the topic in recent years. In Australia the economic challenges associated with an ageing population have long been recognised. Alongside concerns about a growing welfare burden there is much commentary about the…
Recent public policy and Australian older workers
This article considers the characteristics and utility of pro‐work policies targeting Australian older workers that have emerged in the context of population ageing, amid concerns that this will lead to labour shortages and an increasing social welfare burden. There has been a recent surge in public policy regarding the ageing workforce, the efficacy of which has not been tested by evaluation studies. After considering the conceptual foundations …
The Social Construction of Retirement and Evolving Policy Discourse of Working Longer
This article is concerned with the evolving social construction of older workers and retirement. Evolving and competing 'world-views' from public policy, and social advocacy of productive and vulnerable older workers, are described and critiqued. Contradictions and disjunctions, in terms of public policies aimed at changing employer behaviour towards older workers, are identified. It is argued that present representations of older workers have se…
Is Workplace Flexibility Good Policy? Evaluating the Efficacy of Age Management Strategies for Older Women Workers
A combination of age and gender factors shape older women’s workplace experiences. Age advocacy groups, together with many academic commentators, argue in favor of workplace flexibility, pointing to benefits for both older workers and their employers. But knowledge about the policies of organizations and how they are enacted by managers is still rudimentary. What do managers understand flexibility to mean and how do they implement flexible workin…

Life as lived and life as talked about
This chapter draws on ethnographic and sociological research conducted by Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese researchers on heterosexual love and marriage in Vietnam. It outlines the competing discursive layers that centre on family structure, gender equality, romantic love and idealised gender roles in twenty-first-century Vietnam in order to point out the distance between discursive and actual family life. The chapter highlights that control of fema…
Saigon Style
Twenty-first-century Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) is the centre of style for a growing urban middle class in post-reform Vietnam. Over the past generation, since macro-economic reform (đổi mới), and with increased opportunities for business, education and travel, urbanites have been able to climb the social ladder and wield new forms of social power stemming from emerging lifestyle and consumption practices. Middle-class lifestyles have bec…
Vietnam's "Informal Public" Spaces
In this paper, I adopt a concept of informal public space from socialist social life as part of the language of postsocialism to explore changing uses of social space by women in contemporary Hồ Chí Minh City. Following Zdravomyslova and Voronkov, I describe the informal public as the space in culture where urbanites are able to demonstrate normality and belonging by participating in neighborhood life. I argue that the use of informal public spac…
