When in doubt. map the city and make kinship charts. An anthropologist in Amsterdam. Tuesday, February 23, 2010. Oh, some actual news. Oh, also, the Dutch national government fell last week. While everyone was gearing up for municipal level elections (taking place on 3 March, all over the country), the federal government was becoming ever more unstable: first with the results of an inquiry into the Dutch support for the US's war in Iraq. If you're interested in reading more about this shake-up, check out...

When in doubt... map the city and make kinship charts.: January 2010

When in doubt. map the city and make kinship charts. An anthropologist in Amsterdam. Friday, January 29, 2010. I have been feeling pretty awesome lately. A little stressed, recovering from a bit of a cold, cold from the unseasonably chilly Dutch winter and cycling in the rain from my house to Amsterdam Noord this morning, but nonetheless, pretty awesome. I think it's because I feel like things are starting to come together, research-wise, at long last. I think 28 (my verjaardag. I think that I knew volun...

When in doubt... map the city and make kinship charts.: 'home' again... now what?
http://soon-enough.blogspot.com/2010/09/home-again-now-what.html
When in doubt. map the city and make kinship charts. An anthropologist in Amsterdam. Wednesday, September 22, 2010. Home' again. now what? What I've learned so far, is that no anthropologist ever seems to come back from 'the field' (wherever that may be) feeling like they got everything they could have. So far, all my colleagues in the same situation say the exact same things. Mostly along the lines of, "I know that if I had been there for another month or so, I could have gotten much more done! In Amste...

When in doubt. map the city and make kinship charts. An anthropologist in Amsterdam. Thursday, May 19, 2011. When I lived in Amsterdam, I found my own speaking partner through the Gilde Amsterdam. Site, a website that provides information on language coaching initiatives in Amsterdam, highlights four other organizations with similar projects:. Vluchtelingenwerk Amstel tot Zaan (Refugees Amstel to Zaan). SamenSpraak Oost-Watergraafsmeer (Speaking Together Oost-Watergraafsmeer). How volunteering might rela...

When in doubt. map the city and make kinship charts. An anthropologist in Amsterdam. Monday, October 18, 2010. Present in the past. Since returning to Canada I've been having a hard time living here. Don't get me wrong; I have a great place to live a fantastic roommate and friend to live with, and enough money to support myself. What I mean is that I have been having, I think, a hard time accepting that I have to be in Toronto on an emotional level. Yet, analyzing all this data requires. Armed with this ...

When in doubt. map the city and make kinship charts. An anthropologist in Amsterdam. Tuesday, May 11, 2010. The end of April and beginning of May in the Netherlands is chock full of holidays! In fact, I've been so busy celebrating that I haven't had much time to write about them: Koninginnedag. On April 30th (and to a lesser extent Koninginnenacht. On the 29th), is quickly followed by the more somber Dodenherdenking. On May 4th, only to be followed the next day by Bevrijdingsdag. Everything you could wan...

When in doubt. map the city and make kinship charts. An anthropologist in Amsterdam. Monday, April 19, 2010. Getting the word out: interviews! I've been here, in Amsterdam, hanging out, being a sociocultural sponge (or anthropologist as we're sometimes called), for a while now. In fact, my little red agenda tells me I only have about 100 days left (where did the time go? And Hart Voor Amsterdam. And hopefully the replies will start trickling in very soon!

When in doubt. map the city and make kinship charts. An anthropologist in Amsterdam. Monday, October 12, 2009. Yesterday, I made my first Thanksgiving Dinner! I think it was a success: more than enough food for all, no major disasters, plenty of friends, good conversation, I more or less didn't. Mangle the chickens while carving, and I managed to figure out how to use our house's little combination microwave-convection oven. Can you even find turkey in the Netherlands? What about cranberry sauce? I am an...
