This book series in anthropology takes a ground-up approach to the acquisition and publication of new ethnographic works. The aim is to set the conditions for collaboration at each stage of a book’s development, from the earliest draft through publication. Rather than considering those manuscripts in their finished state, this series sets out to curate a cohort of scholars committed to the idea that ethnographic writing is itself a form of intellectual work. An Atelier book sets itself apart in at least two ways. The first is by addressing the problems and possibilities of ethnographic inquiry in the twenty-first century. These include the matters of evidence, conceptual reach, and thematic urgency, as well as narrative voice and analytical innovation. Atelier is defined by neither a particular region nor any of anthropology’s four fields, but rather by a commitment to the art of ethnography. The second is by participating in a sociality of sustained, critical reflection. The aim of this series is to generate a group of scholars from all career stages working together toward the completion of each author’s respective book project. SUBMISSION INFORMATION Those interested in submitting to the series should email a CV, 2-3 page synopsis, annotated Table of Contents, draft introduction, and a sample chapter to the series editor Kevin O’Neill no later than June 1, 2026 at kevin.oneill@utoronto.ca. The synopsis should describe the book project in no more than 2,000 words and must include: a statement about the intended audience for the book; the total anticipated word count of the full manuscript, including the main text, footnotes, bibliography, and any appendices; a description of the art program and total number of images; and an estimated deadline for completing the full manuscript. Please let the editor know if portions of the book have been or will be previously published.

Honored to be part of the @ucpress.bsky.social Atelier series with such a stellar group of anthropologists. #AnthroSky
For those somehow trying to write a book amidst ALL that is going on & interested in the series, I’m happy to share my experience so far (spoiler alert: it has been great!).

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.
Biden himself said they were fabricated!

Could you also add me please? Thank you!
NATURE has done a terrific (if depressing) job of summarizing the devastating cuts to science during Trump's first year. At this point, only the willingness of the House and Senate to restore research budgets prevents scientific extinction. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

TRUMP: In terms of other countries that want oil, we're in the oil business. We're gonna sell it to them. We'll be selling oil.
Not something a govt that truly cares about climate change would do...

Lula's govt just authorized an oil drilling license in the Amazon!!! That was just a few days ago...

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

ICE deteve a diretora brasileira durante entrevista para obtenção do green card: "Ao final do que nos disseram ter sido uma reunião bem-sucedida, o policial usou a desculpa de uma copiadora quebrada para enganá-la e fazê-la se afastar do nosso advogado. Uma vez separada de seu adv, ela foi presa."
