Thanks to everyone who turned out for the NYAS panel on COVID-19 & Anthropology. We had more than 1000 people register. It was wonderful to hear from @tonyataylor27 @Thurka149 @juemos & so many other members of our community. NYAS will post the recording on YouTube next week.

I want to acknowledge the anthropologists, scholars & activists--whose work on intersections of stigma, immigrants, immigrant detention, & prison abolition--inspired my remarks on the NYAS panel on COVID-19: @brewis_alex @mattjgarcia68 @aliciadinsmore @NoMoreDeaths @prisonculture

I want to acknowledge the anthropologists--whose work on moral injury & mental health--inspired my remarks about the need to prioritize resources for frontline healthcare workers on the NYAS panel on COVID-19: @SarahMathew1 @mrmunyikwa @ashleyhagaman Brandon Kohrt

I want to acknowledge the anthropologists & geographers whose work inspired my remarks about how we can build more ethical economies after COVID-19 on the NYAS panel: @mhberesford @ProfessorJepson @leilaharris @Prof_FSultana @ellisaadams @jessicabudds @jrb_tweets @Doctor_Chad

Last, I said "stigma is always a tool to seize and entrench power...we need to be ready & push back...one way is by shifting language" we use & that we tolerate in others. My comments were inspired by anthropologists & linguists: @cindilsturtz @ProfAnthrose @brymes @GeorgeLakoff

These incredible scholars & activists are all working, in very different ways, to build a more just future after COVID-19. If you are too, please add your work to this thread, so others reading can follow you!
