Chicken keeping - the domestic garden flock


Having fun with my very tame Poland chicks, Pedro and Peggy. Having chicks sitting on your head is an inherently dangerous past-time, but so far no mishaps!

IUAES 2013

A very enjoyable and stimulating day at the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences Conference. The Afterlife Research Centre ran a day-long panel on The Extended Self: Relations Between Material and Immaterial Worlds. My own paper on Self, Personhood and Possession took a comparative look at modern Western spirit release therapies. Most of the presentations, which were recorded, will be posted on the ARC website: http:www.afterliferesearch.info.
