A quotation from Martin, Judith:

«««««
Teacup formality is a part of etiquette, but an infinitesimal part. How about fast-food informality? That is as much a part of etiquette as the teacup. It is all of our behavior and not simply the formal occasion behavior. And, in fact, the more informal the circumstances, usually the more you need etiquette.

#introduction

I'm a #socialprotection specialist working for Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO), a global network dedicated to improving the lives of the working poor in the informal economy through research, organizing and advocacy.

I'm interested in all aspects of #socialpolicy, #labourmarkets #taxes, #socialsecurity and #cashtransfers, in particular how to expand coverage in contexts of #informality

The urban north is not growing anymore - and perspectives on cities are very different from the north (#Systemic) & south (#postcolonial #informality)

Hi, my #introduction #firstpost at Mastodon. I’m Ignacio, anthropologist working for the University of Iceland in a project on mobilities and racism in Europe. Doing ethnographic fieldwork in the Canary Islands about the migration route from west Africa to #Spain & EU.
My interests are (1) #migration, #transnationalism & #mobilities; (2) #humanitarianism & #development; (3) #informality & #resistance.
Looking forward to find people & broad debates of #anthropology #ethnography #socialsciences
