Next was an enjoyable talk by Aditya Balasubramanian on economic vocabulary and opposition #politics in #India at #CRASSH. Balasubramanian presents an informative overview of the combined political and economic arc of India over recent decades, providing insight into current issues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeRYDyWns0c (8/9) #sociology #economics

Next was an interesting talk by Gerardo Serra on time, quantification, and power in 1960s #Ghana at #CRASSH. This talk represents both a nice history lesson and an important example of how power shapes measurement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGwwwLO__aU (5/10) #sociology

Next was an incredible group of talks on Europeans and war in 18th century #Africa at #CRASSH - Allegra Ayida on reading African agency in French trader memoirs, Christopher Brown on war&trade on the West African coast, Rafaël Thiébaut on intermediaries in the slave trade to Madagascar, Lindsay O'Neill on the journey of 2 Maputo princes, Paul Grant on the Akan moral imagination, and Kenosi Molato on the scramble for the Okovango Delta. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAgh8KiinbU (6/7) #anthropology

Next was an important slate of talks on consumption, the slave trade, and rituals in 18th century Africa at #CRASSH. I particularly liked Liza Gijanto's talk on commerce and daily life on the Senegambia coast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjYHgriNZ7Q (5/9) #sociology #Africa #slavery

First was a fascinating slate of talks on various aspects of urban life and #gender in 18th century #Africa at #CRASSH. The talk by Catey Boyle on friendship and homosociality in Ottoman Tunis was particularly interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaU-QYoy6Gc (2/7) #archaeology #sociology

Next was a fantastic discussion of data #feminism at #CRASSH by the authors of the book of the same name - @kanarinka and @laurenfklein. This was a great review of the core thesis of the book as well as an excellent critique of some of the folks trying to reduce this to "good data science." Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cJsl-hiz7U (4/7) #DataScience

Next was a good slate of talks on #queer identities in #surveys at #CRASSH, with Emma McKenna (#gender in quantitative research on sex work), Joseph Van Matre (gender expression and college student experiences), and Nerilee Ceatha (issues of fixed gender identities) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP28HZM52-A (3/8) #sociology

Last was a slate of talks on intersectional quantitative research at #CRASSH by Heather Shattuck-Heidorn (gender/sex in COVID-19), Sabrina Saase (utility of #intersectionality in quantitative research), and Alexia Pretari (intersectional impact evaluations). Zuzana Dančíková provides an excellent overview discussion as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvxqU7x7U-g&t=4s (5/5) #sociology

Last was a pair of talks on pandemic surveillance systems and how they can obfuscate large burdens of disease with Charlotte Christiane Hammer and Freya Jephcott at #CRASSH. I particularly liked Jephcott's discussion of how robust surveillance systems can falter when data logging burdens are too high or become rote https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr8LUyR0Pk8 (6/6) #epidemiology

Next was an important panel on the boundaries of #indigenous scholarship at #CRASSH with Gabriela Ramos, Clifford Atleo, Rick Colbourne, and Constance Khupe. The challenges of practicing #science in indigenous contexts while adhering to unquestioned academic practices that smack of coloniality are immense, and this panel gets at the heart of many of these issues. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpzCtpqw25g (8/11) #academia

Next was an important talk by Hillary Ash on #gender and epidemiological obfuscation at #CRASSH. If you still believe that data = truth, the painstaking research that Ash presents here on the erasure of whole classes of people from critical public health datasets due to category choices will surely persuade you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlMol1BVQPg (5/6) #PublicHealth #epidemiology

Next was an important talk by Niamh Mulachy on class, #inequality, and #finance at #CRASSH with discussion from Ariane Hanemaayer and Ronjon Paul Datta. This conversation gets into the various theoretical lenses through which we can view class and inequality and what that means for potential paths forward https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yOuZWSqKgU (3/8) #sociology
