For those of you who participated in this summer’s reading circle on Anna Tsing’s book Friction, I will be part of a panel on the book, organized by Kimberly Christen: Discussing Friction: Engaging with Anna Tsing’s book Friction: an Ethnography of Global Connection on Thursday at 4:00 PM – 05:45 PM. I plan to discuss some of my own research as well as some of the themes raised in the discussion.
