We have some cracker new content up on The Familiar Strange Anthropology
Blog and Podcast this month. If you're new or unfamiliar with us, The
Familiar Strange is a public anthropology project that aims to make
anthropological thinking tools accessible to a broader public.
Our latest *podcast episode is with Genevieve Bell,* Vice President at
Intel, Anthropologist, Distinguished Professor in the ANU 3A Institute and
all-round fascinating and articulate human! She's talking about AI and the
future, and how it connects to our history and the way we think about the
past. This episode kicks off our latest season of interviews with a
Science, Technology and Society (STS) focus.
You can find them on our website at www.thefamiliarstrange.com/podcast or
search The Familiar Strange wherever you get your podcasts.
Our latest blogpost is from one of our regular contributors, Dr Holly
Walters of Brandeis University in the US, about *how the Hindu LGBTQI
community engage with the deity Krishna*: "By leveraging Krishna’s gendered
and sexual flexibility, they are able to enact new identities that draw
from both Indian history and from Hindu mythography in the same ways as
their political and social opponents do. This allows them to circumvent the
narrative that homosexual and transgendered persons are distinctly
corrupted by Western influences."
