So after a couple of days of snooping around and butting into conversations, I guess it's #introduction time 😁
I'm originally from Singapore, but moved to Naarm (Melbourne, Australia) in 2004.
I have been in the hospitality industry for 18 years.
The last 12 of which have been spent in the kitchen as a chef. I post about #food a lot 😏
I also have a background in #Anthropology, #SocialTheory and #HumanNutrition.
Am currently in the middle of a #PhD in #Education - researching community #foodpedagogies as well as food education in #PublicHealth.
I am passionate about #SocialJustice, #FoodSecurity, #Decolonisation and dismantling systems that perpetuate division and inequity.
I am a #dancer, #SciFi geek, a novice gardener and have a regular #yoga practice.
Open to meet anyone and everyone. Excited to be here and looking forward to many amazing conversations and friendships! 💜

My favorite non-fiction book is Lucy: The Beginnings of Humankind by Donald C. Johanson. I reread it often, but it is wildly out of date
I’d like to find a similar, popular science-y book that will bring me up to speed on what’s happened in the paleoanthropology field recently - any recommendations?

The "Costs of War" project, based at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, estimates that the total death toll in post-9/11 wars – including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria and Yemen – could be at least 4.5-4.7 million:

Blair is one of the Western leaders who shares complicity for this appalling death toll: mondediplo.com/2003/07/01ramon…
State lying has been thrown down the memory hole by media outlets who welcome him with open arms.

In research on this talk, drawing on #ReichelDolmatoff's classic #Tukano ethnography, 'Amazonian Cosmos', Chris came across this excellent blog from @TootTropiques back in 2012. This discusses Reichel-Dolmatoff's #Nazi history in relation to his enormous contributions to #Colombian #anthropology and #Indigenous rights. Many anthropologists have taken inspiration from his work.

I really need to keep the random articles and tidbits of info that i find interesting, instead of finding myself 5 years later going "What was the name of the society of people who think baby carriages and babies sleeping in cribs in another room is child abuse, and they breastfeed until like age 5 or something???"

A poet-anthropologist reflects on the resistance of rural women in the #Brazilian #Cerrado whose wisdom and knowledge help cultivate life amid the devastation of large-scale plantations.
'Pequi activates a sense of time, space, and materiality. It refers to a type of fruit that sprouts at a particular time of the year. Its trees grow exclusively in cerrado lands. Yet the smell spreads and touches people through cooking, and on the wind.'

Prehistoric bone tool cache suggests advanced reasoning in early hominins
Tools “show evidence that their creators carefully worked the bones, chipping off flakes to create useful shapes.”…Jennifer Ouellette (Ars Technica)
@UllaMR That pub event must be a really interesting piece of UK social anthropology. The local pub that everyone spends free time at isn't really part of mainstream social fabric in Scandyland. This means that a new local pub landlord is a far less important figure here.
