My brand new episode of Anthropology in 10 or Less on Structural Violence just dropped.
As the late great Anthropologist and Medical Doctor, Paul Farmer once wrote, “The concept of structural violence is intended to inform the study of the social machinery of oppression.”

Wednesday Night October 9th I had the good fortune to share some of my ideas at the live event, Ignite Denver #41. My topic? Stories Will Save the World.
You may have heard the phrase uttered by Neil Degrasse Tyson and others, “We Are Made of Star Stuff”. It’s true, we’re made of the things born at the beginning of the universe. But my talk was about something else. We’re Also Made of Story Stuff. But we’re not just our story. We’re characters in countless stories, those of your parents, your friends, your family, passing acquaintances, that jerk who cut you off on the highway, and yes, you are the villain in someone else’s story.
We Are Made of Story Stuff and that’s why, It will be stories that save the world.
Watch the full talk below or on YouTube.

This week I had the good fortune of chairing a panel at the Society for Applied Anthropology in Salt Lake City. My Fellow Panelists and I decided to stream it live on YouTube, where it will live for people to rewatch. The title of our panel was Virtual Communities and Imaginary Worlds. The panel was a lot of fun and it was an honor to be on the panel with two brilliant researchers.
