*We are delighted to announce two new appointments to strengthen our team teaching Digital Anthropology at the Dept. of Anthropology University College London.* * * *Stefana Broadbent is an internationally renowned specialist on social media. She presented at TED in 2009 and is cited by journals such as The Economist. Her recent book L’Intimite au Travail derives from many years working with teams of social scientists in Switzerland and elsewhere using ethnography to examine the way new media transforms the relationship between work and the home. She theorises new media in terms of their relative demand for attention within polymedia. She has also worked on the analysis of complex and highly automated work environments in aviation and process control.* * * *Haidy Geismar will be coming to UCL from the Dept. of Anthropology at NYU, where she was assistant professor in anthropology and in museum studies and taught courses on digital culture. She has worked on issues of the digital with respect to indigenous ownership and control, archiving, cataloguing and property and conducted fieldwork in New Zealand and Vanuatu. Her book Treasured Possessions will be out later this year with Duke University Press. She has papers in many leading journals such as American Ethnologist, Journal of Material Culture Studies, Comparative Studies in History and Society.* * * *Both Haidy and Stefana have chapters in the forthcoming volume Digital Anthropology (Berg October).*
