Over four years ago I published "
Frac Sand Mining in Wisconsin: Understanding Emerging Conflicts and Community Organizing" in an academic journal called CAFE, which is sponsored by the
Culture and Agriculture section of the
American Anthropological Association. The journal recently invited me to talk about what's been going on with my research since publication of the article. I was quite honored to do this and it was neat to reflect on how my work has evolved over the years, leading, ultimately, to
my book on frac sand mining, which is set to come out next month.
The
interview is now on the Culture and Agriculture blog. Here's my favorite line from the interview, which pretty much captures my vision for the book too: "I wrote this article with a general audience in mind and sought to minimize the theory sloganeering and nonsensical scholarly dribble that spoils so much of academic anthropology today."
Thanks!
