My favourite college lectures for u <3

I love sharing my favourite college lectures with others, so I'll leave them here with links if anyone happens to be interested. 

1. Deep Time Exposure: To be sick with Mexico City's Terminal Suddenness by Lachlan Summers (2022)

This was one of my favourite lectures for my 'Anthropology and Public Health' course. It is a fascinating depiction of illness, urban infrastructure, medical negligence and corruption all connected to the natural movement of the earth and plate tectonics. 

2. The Parallel Lives of Philosophy and Anthropology in The Ground Between: Anthropologists engage philosophy. By Didier Fassin (2014)

I love Didier Fassin and his approach to health, gob control, life, and, in this case, connections between anthropology and philosophy. I think this text is a good guide to understand how language and cultural context are involved in the understanding of moral dilemmas and everyday life. 

3. (Unfortunately this one is only available in Spanish :(, sorry) Humanos, más que humanos y no humanos by Daniel Ruiz-Serna and Carlos del Cairo (2022)

This is a compilation book about diverse ontological perspectives that threads relationships between diverse themes such as territory, cultural practices, medicine, among others, understanding the tensions that the different narratives expose.
