Alumni kudos!
Kudos to… Christopher Berk (MSP07) edited a special issue of Cultural Dynamics that was recently published. The issue was titled “The Intimate Workings of Culture,” and Christopher contributed an article (Navigating Cultural Intimacy in Tasmanian Aboriginal Public Culture) and co-wrote the introduction with a colleague. The issue examines the complex ways power, audience, and imagination are implicated in the social practices and politics of cultural intimacy, which has proven to be a productive lens through which to explore the dialectic between the construction and contestation of collective identities. The issue can be viewed here.
