Anthropology conference is overrun with sessions like "Pronouns, Bottoms, Cat-Ears And Cuerpes, Girl: For An Intersectional Trans Linguistic Anthropology"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34049130

Session titles included:

• “Pronouns, Bottoms, Cat-Ears And Cuerpes, Girl: For An Intersectional Trans Linguistic Anthropology”

• “Unsettling Whiteness: Race And Religion In The United States”

• “On Indigenous People’s Terms: Unsettling Landscapes Through Remapping Practices”

• “Unsettling Queer Anthropology: Critical Genealogies and Decolonizing Futures”

At registration, you could ask for a “comfort ribbon” to indicate whether you preferred 1) handshakes, 2) elbow bumps, or 3) six feet of distance between you and others. The list of “the AAA Principles of Professional Responsibility,” which was prominently posted at entrances, starts with the line: “Do No Harm.” There were also signs stating that attendees shouldn’t use “scented personal care products” to ensure that those with “chemical sensitivities” could attend the conference in comfort.

I hadn't attended a single class of a BS compulsory paper I have this sem cause I saw the subtopics but I had free time last week so I just went for fun. Aside from the prof asking me if I was from some other department(:marseysmug:) it was so painfully boring. There's apparently something called a black atlantic school and then we spent 30 min discussing an ugly butt painting that's supposed to be about the bipocs who fell into the sea and built wakandis there or w/e. :marseycontemplatesuicide:
