*Our latest podcast episode* called "Stunted Thinking" features
anthropologist Dr. Annie McCarthy of the Australian National University
discussing slum children working with NGOs in India with our own Jodie-Lee
Trembath. She tells us how children move from being objects of development
to agents of development, and of her frustrations with reductive terms like
'stunted' when they refer to children whose lives are rich and full of
potential. Find it on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts (and please
review us if you have time!) or get it here:

*On the blog* Julia asks about your new year's resolutions - planning to
get healthy? What about your SOCIAL health?

Guest blogger Michael Rose argues the case for narrative ethnography,
opening with the brilliant line: "One weird Christmas, I was living on a
commune in Southern India when a small group of my fellow eco-pioneers
arrived at the startling consensus that food was unnecessary for human
survival."

And all the Familiar Strangers bring their anthropological tools to bear on
