Excited to kick off Isle of Intellectuals tomorrow🌴📚 A seminar inviting students to think as intellectuals—critically, creatively, grounded—in our times of anti-intellectualism. It's inspired by @agardjones who taught a course by this title, itself coined by @lugicast.

If you'll be here through Friday #AAG2025 come hang out with me and some fantastic folks researching coffee!! cc + image credit to: @colibriphd.bsky.social

Looking forward to the discussion and debate around speculative ethnography at this salon event next week!
