Carrying On, One Keystroke at a Time
Resilience requires discomfort: Broad brushstrokes for the common good
Populist-fueled global tensions have continued to grow over the past year, and we now see regular civil protest as well as educational institutions, public care agencies, and goodwill institutions strain under the weight of culture wars.As these tensions have grown, we have struggled-as individuals and collectives-with how to respond.Between reinvigorated calls to resist, rest, care, and get activated in response to rapid-fire, scatter-focused pr…

Justice, rights and the futures of reproduction
Unsettling ourselves: Notes on reflective listening beyond discomfort
Reflecting on Melissa Harris‐Perry's 2016 American Anthropological Association (AAA) keynote address and conversations that followed, this semi‐autoethnographic exploration considers disciplinary tensions and complicities concerning our (un)willingness to hear content when discomforted by academic affect. The article considers why feminist anthropologists might “listen through discomfort,” a process Petillo describes as “embodied listening where …
