But as you note, jumping in won’t lead us out of this mess. One path out will be perfected computer translation in a decade or two, but that solution is only partial…

The role of power in the production of knowledge. I know that we all talk about this, but what exactly do we mean? Michal Buchowski are working to put together a session for the AAA of asking a”local or native” anthropologist working in a region to have a conversation about hegemony/imperialism with a colleague from the US who works in the same region. You can not imagine how hard it is to create the pairs because we do not know each other and because so many anthropologists are still being trained in the US and UK. Plus the “english” issue. How do we get out of this mess?
