"Others" is a bad word in anthropology.

What this section is, then, is an ode to the people and things that have surrounded and inspired me. As a young scholar, I find it important to seek knowledge outside of the academy. I devour fiction and art as much as theory, as it sustains me and moves my work in dynamic ways. Below is an incomplete list of awe-making.

Art

- Gabe, the artist.
- Ben, the fabricator.
- Hunter, the precision master.
- Mike, the 010010110 savant. 

Knowledge

- Christopher Lirette, podcast collaborator, tandem ethnographer, radical scholar.
- Shane Miller, the southeastern archaeologist.
- Lewis Borck, the southwestern archaeologist.
- Alexa Spielhagen, the great unconformist.
- Fahamu Pecou, the scholarshit.
- Jim Igoe, the spectacular.
- David Graeber, the anarchist.
