  • Studying Visual Anthropology In China With Briana
    May 5 2022

    This week we head back to China - Nanjing, China, to be specific, to meet with the visual anthropologist, content creator, and ex-pat, Briana Lennet.

    Briana and I discuss what the heck a contemporary anthropologist actually does (admit it, you don't know either), dismantling systems of oppression that black students face, living in China in the age of COVID, and ways we're keeping our mental health in check.
