Blog
The WCAA blog can potentially serve as a world forum for anthropologists' debates. It's open to everyone. Add comments or better still, write your own piece on any anthropological topic, email it to cmgordon(at)cuhk.edu.hk, and we’ll post it.
CWA videos online
The Committee on World Anthropologies (CWA) has set up a series of videos that were taped at the 2011 Annual Meeting. The five sessions are of interest to members, especially those concerned with world anthropologies and hegemony, and highlight work being done outside the United States with a global, non hierarchical perspective. On the CWA website a blog has also been set up where visitors can talk to the presenters and discuss the content of the panels. The CWA would like to share these videos with the global community and hope that they will generate a lively conversation.
