Hi Kareal, I’m very intrigued by the ideas about productive nostalgia as a way to work towards a “home.” So excited to see where your interviews take you!
I’m excited to hear more about invocations of ancestry, and I’m curious about how important you think it is, and whether you feel they are productive/what kinds of invocation of ancestry are productive.
Farming and food are political! The people you are going to interview sound so cool :0 Also beautiful poster design
I’m really excited to keep following your work on this! Your use of social media as a source for your ethnographic research is so rich with possibilities; it’s something I can imagine becoming a huge part of anthropological research in the future (if it isn’t already!).
Great poster, Kareal! I’m so interested in this idea of “productive nostalgia” and really excited to hear how the interviews go!!
This is such a great project and I’ve loved seeing how it’s developed! Like others said, I’m very excited to see where else this goes, particularly with the interviews and I also am really impressed how you’ve used social media as a research tool.
