open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 727-744, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Much study of ritual has focused on demarcated spaces and times of performance, and the often spectacular features of such collective behaviour provide rich resources for analysis of formal, symbolically dense action. This article shifts attention to dimensions of ritual events that entail zones of ambiguous, diffuse, or limited engagement ...

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 763-783, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Childhood, though it is understood cross‐culturally in very different ways, always has a distinctive temporal framework, since children's growth and development cannot be undone.

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 29, Issue S1, Page 8-30, April 2023., 2023

Abstract Tracing the history of terrestrial fusion energy to a giant multinational experimental fusion facility under construction reveals a series of consequential failures, re‐evaluations of once defunct designs, but also persistence. To account for how this vast enterprise, dogged by failure, endures, I suggest that different ontological narratives ...
