People keep trying to get me to switch the field of my work.
Today a professor at Emory tried to get me to join their Anthropology Department.
Ron Barrett wrote Aghor Medicine: Pollution, Death, and Healing in Northern India, in which he used Ariel Glucklich's The End of Magic to study ritual healing, enlightenment through transgressive action, and other stuff like that, there. In Medical Anthropology.
I don't know where I was going, with this, but i'm kind of scattered.
And a little pissed.

Date: 2009-05-26 12:15 am (UTC)Something about the nature of academia, constantly seeking specialisation and looking to accumulate, but every time I actually go to the people I need, for help, or follow their suggestions, they are no where to be found.
Getting a little sick of it, even if there's no evidence, yet, that that's what's going to happen.
