"The disappearance of extended time from the university changes the texture of intellectual life. It narrows how we think and what we are able to notice."

Madiha Tariq asks whether “the opportunity to linger over #research” still has a place in today’s #academic environment.

'An Anthropology of Crosslocations' (2024) brings together seven anthropologists. In this #multigraph, Sarah Green and her co-authors introduce a radical new approach to understanding #location.

The book cover of 'An Anthropology of Crosslocations' by Sarah Green, Samuli Lähteenmäki, Phaedra Douzina-Bakalaki, Carl Rommel, Joseph J. Viscomi, Laia Soto Bermant, and Patricia Scalco. Next to the cover image is an endorsement from Matei Candea, Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge. The endorsement reads: “This fascinating and multistranded book opens up anew the question of how ‘somewheres’ come to be. Moving back and forth across the Mediterranean, tracing disconnections as much as connections, the authors carefully and vividly triangulate the rich complexity of spatial coexistence and the shifting struggles between overlapping ways of locating particular places.”
