Summary
1. The “What is Anthropology” Room
which I created but didn’t continue, has a new mentor. We’ve been discussing how we can help students find a great anthropology teacher and decided to make a people’s ranking of bad and good teachers.
Please join in!
2. Simona Ferlini plans to hold one of the panels in Naples on David’s new book, Pirate Enlightenment, or the New Libertalia. We talked about putting this discussion in September, giving us time to put together a panel in several languages and organize simultaneous translations.
3. Since the fall, Simona has offered to lead a reading group on Anarchism — in the manner speaking
4. Paola Pietronave planned to organize a screening of Rojava video commune films on the Museum of Caring platform to help Rojava with fundraising.
We need to figure out how to raise money for tickets through one of the event organizer platforms.
We found an account to transfer money to Rojava.
5. Next Housekeeping Committee:
We are planning a discussion about organizing a “Marxists vs David Graeber” Fight Club.
It will be moderated by Simona and Michael.
(time limit 15 minutes)
