But what about the ecological capabilities? Relationality and school-based food gardening in the australian early years learning framework
Reflecting on students' personal and social capabilities is essential for individual and societal benefits. Typically, the focus is on emotional awareness, collaboration, resilience, conflict resolution, and learning to function within school settings. However, there is little emphasis on building ecological capabilities. As we face climate uncertainty, understanding how to exist in a changing world is crucial, and developing ecological capabilit…
Learning with compost: Digging Down Into Food Waste, Urban Soils and Community
This paper explores human, soil, compost and food waste interactions in a community composting initiative in Australia. Drawing on an ethnographic study in 2 Australian cities – Sydney and Canberra, this paper identifies the emergence of a "composting ethic" among participants that is animated by three forms of learning and doing: (1) noticing and attending, (2) embodying and (3) experimentation. Fieldwork analysis is contextualised in relation t…
Grassroots modalities of learning: Creating and Maintaining Pluriversal Knowing, Being and Doing for Collective Survival
Living with flux in the Philippines: Negotiating collective well‐being and disaster recovery
Anthropogenic climate change poses huge challenges to humanity. The frequency and magnitude of extreme weather is increasing. As more attention turns to disaster preparedness and recovery, it is worth recognising that many communities have a long history of living with the flux of planetary dynamism. They are experienced in negotiating collective well‐being with one another and with the earth. Other communities have less experience and know‐how a…
Community economies in Monsoon Asia: Keywords and key reflections
A diversity of place‐based community economic practices that enact ethical interdependence has long enabled livelihoods in Monsoon Asia. Managed either democratically or coercively, these culturally inflected practices have survived the rise of a cash economy, albeit in modified form, sometimes being co‐opted to state projects. In the modern development imaginary, these practices have been positioned as ‘traditional’, ‘rural’ and largely supersed…
The Fate of an Old Water System in the New Era of Climate Change and Market Imperatives in Southwest China
In studies of contemporary changes to natural environments in China, ethnic groups in the nation's southwest are often used to demonstrate that earlier indigenous ideologies and institutions responsible for the harmonious relationships between human communities and their natural resources have now been swept away by government policies, market forces, new technologies, and most recently, climate change. In our study, we ask how a water system, in…

Defining Difference from China's Margins
Uniformities and discontinuities in Chinese culture have long animated anthropological debates. The books reviewed here reflect an emerging scholarly consensus about the diversity of China, expressed not only in religions and populations marginal to more mainstream Chinese culture, but among the Han Chinese themselves. Much of the discussion of China's diversity hinges on identity, a social phenomenon freighted with rhetoric and sentiment and inf…
Language Matters in China: An Anthropological Postscript
Provocative Behavior: Agency and Feuds in Southwest China
Enthusiasm for agency in accounting for assertive, provocative behavior may lead to complacent analyses, distracting us from the hard work of confronting anomalous behaviors that challenge received wisdom. Drawing on feud narratives extracted from life history interviews with the Nuosu, an ethnic group in China's southwest, my analysis looks beyond feuding to other institutions in "old" Nuosu society that enabled or fostered a high degree of indi…

A Comparative Approach to Lineages among the Xiao Liangshan Nuosu and Han
Captives, Kin, and Slaves in Xiao Liangshan
Located on the high altitude slopes in China's mountainous southwestern hinterlands, the Nuosu (Yi) have long been characterized by ethnologists in China as a slave society. In this essay I explore the appropriateness of the label with reference to the distinction, associated with the classicist Moses Finley in his studies of Greco-Roman society, betweenslave societiesandsocieties with slaves(Finley 1983, 79-83). But my main purpose in focusing o…

Chinese Funerals and Chinese Ethnicity in Chiang Mai, Thailand
A Preliminary Perspective on Kinship and Ethnicity Among Chinese in Thailand
This essay focuses on the question of how kinship affects individual choices of ethnicity among two groups in Thailand; the overseas Chinese and the Yunnanese Chinese. Kinship is shown to be relevant to the acquisition of social skills and cultural knowledge which make possible choices of ethnic identity. Chinese women are instrumental in providing this foundation. Furthermore, kin relations are viewed not as biological "givens", but as cultural …
