Libre opinion: Une génération politique est née
Aucune idée si c’est une représentation fidèle de la réalité, mais c’est une perspective fascinante. D’autres en ont parlé dernièrement. Les Québécois entre 18 et 34 ans sont non seulement politisés mais ils entreprennent des démarches politiques.
Anthropological Interdisciplinarity
Good to see that anthropology’s approach to interdisciplinarity is well-understood.

Measure of cultural significance?
