Mine's picturesque!
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thanks so much for your support in publishing this piece and in other matters! Glad to serve as associate editor for the multimodal section of AA! ❤️
Hi All! I am excited to share that my essay "Anthropology of the Hometown" is now live in the American Anthropologist. I argue that doing anthropology of the hometown contributes to broader efforts of disciplinary redress and decolonization. OPEN ACCESS: doi.org/10.1111/aman...
It was such a pleasure to co-edit and write a special collection dedicated to cultural anthropologist Dr. Shinji Yamashita, my kind and generous mentor at the University of Tokyo where I did my masters. Check out our special issue that just came out at www.tandfonline.com/toc/rtap20/2...
Hi! I thought I should mention that I stepped in as 1 of the 3 associate editors of the Multimodal Section of the American Anthropologist journal in June. Please feel free to message me anytime if you have an essay or article on multimodality that you're looking to publish on the AA website/journal.

I'm teaching visual anthropology at the grad level this fall! Please let me know if you've come across readings and multimodal work which you think should definitely be in a visual anthro syllabus! Thanks for sharing! Please also feel free to share with me your own work.
Hi All. I wrote about my experience of archiving images lost to flooding in the Philippines. I dedicated this photo essay to Uncle Anton M. Naval, whom we lost in the flood of Typhoon Kristine in 2024. He was like a father to me. The essay is open access: doi.org/10.1080/1754... #anthrosky
One of the challenges of studying the hometown is dealing with peer reviewers who get upset by a writing style that is deemed to be "too personal." Oh well. Got past a peer reviewer who caved in in the end.
In this article, I think about the controversial inheritance case Llorente vs Llorente in Nabua which lasted for 15 years and which reached all the way to the Philippine Supreme Court, becoming a landmark case on divorce and succession.
HI all! I'm happy to share with everyone my anthropology of the hometown article which is at the intersections of law, inheritance, war, kinship, migration, and colonial legacy. The full article is open access at: doi.org/10.3390/huma...
This article is also part of a special issue. I will write about the special issue later when the other articles in the issue are also already available online. Thanks for reading!
You might remember China suddenly limiting its ELT industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article, I write about the repercussions of this move by the Chinese state on what I call the "raciolinguistic disposability" of Filipino teachers in China.
Hi all! I am excited to share that my latest article, "Raciolinguistic Disposability: The Experience of Filipino Teachers in China Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic," is now out. It's open access. doi.org/10.1080/1444...
I'm now filling out the marketing questionnaire from the press. I am asked to list names and email addresses of folks who are interested in purchasing the book for their own use/research or for adopting it in their courses. Please let me know if you'd like me to list your name! Thanks! Salamat!
My book titled "Town of Dollars: Ambient Violence and Everyday Dispossession in the Philippines" is coming out with the University of Washington Press in Spring 2026! Thanks to the people of Nabua, my editors, friends, & family for all the support.❤️

Found something uniquely American at the hardware store--a toilet plunger shaped like a gun 😂
Wow that's a lot of snow

Got 1200 words down and a bunch of my to-do knocked out with collegial support (knowing someone is waiting for me + a cat to the face got me out of bed).
It looks like anthrotwitter has slowed down because most are now on #anthrosky.
Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.
Smashed records.
