I was born in Ireland, but at four years old went to live in Luxembourg. My mother worked with the European Commission and thanks to the European School system, I became a ‘true’ European. I got my first degree (Sociology) in the University of Glasgow. After that I spent five years in Belgium doing various jobs in telemarketing, customer service and sales: I didn’t like them very much. After that I saw the light and managed to do a Masters in Social Anthropology of Development with SOAS in London. That was where I met my wife-to-be - referred to in these pages as WW (Wonderful Wife, Wonder Womyn, or Whipping Witch – depending on circumstances). After six months in Nigeria she suggested I come to Malaysia. I was able to find a lecturing job with HELP University College, and we eventually got married I am now a PhD candidate at Monash University Malaysia, researching the commercialisation of Malaysian blogs.
British Library: Archival Sound Recordings
Everyone can: Search all recordings on the site, Listen to recordings where copyright permits - currently over 23,700 items, View notes and tags added by other users. Archival Sound Recordings is the result of a development project to increase access to the British Library Sound Archive's extensive collections. The British Library holds one of the world’s foremost sound archives with a collection of over 3.5 million audio recordings. These come from all over the world and cover the entire range of recorded sound from music, drama and literature, to oral history, wildlife and environmental sounds. This website delivers a selection of that rich audio heritage in the form of tens of thousands of digitised recordings and their associated documentation. If you were to listen to all the recordings on this site for eight hours each day, every day, it would take you around four years to hear them all!
Documentary Educational Resources
Documentary Educational Resources is a non-profit organization founded in 1968 and incorporated in 1971 for the purpose of producing and distributing cross-cultural documentary film for educational use. We were early innovators in developing 16mm film and media based curriculum for classroom use. Our company focus then and now is to support filmmakers who have long-term commitments to the people that they film. We find that filmmakers who work collaboratively with their subjects produce film with integrity. It is also our focus to distribute media that has the power to overcome barriers to cross-cultural understanding. Media can be the first step in growing sensitivity and awareness of other cultures. This in turn may lead to tolerance and acceptance and eventually give way to appreciation and admiration of other cultures.
I am an assistant professor in the Linguistics department at the University of California, Berkeley. My research focuses on Amazonian languages, and I am particularly interested in the strategic use of grammatical resources in interaction, language documentation and revitalization, and language politics. I have principally worked with speakers of Nanti (Arawak) and Iquito (Zaparoan), in Peruvian Amazonia.
The Virtual Institute of Mambila Studies seeks to collate and connect the different research and researchers with an interest in the Mambila people of the Nigeria - Cameroon borderland and their neighbours; their languages and the area in which they live. We take a broad view of Mambila, including other groups speaking related languages such as Kwanja, Vute, Wawa, Nizaa, Njerep (3 speakers at last count!) Twendi (35 speakers), Tep, and others. Our research is primarily of an anthropological and linguistic nature; abstracts or full texts of papers are available at the site. The currently available work includes reports on Zeitlyn's research on kinship and language and his annotated version of Meek's early ethnological work in the region, and Connell's comparative linguistic research and work on tone realization in Mambila, as well as a full bibliography of anthropological, linguistic, and related research on Mambila.
Popular Anthropology is a free online magazine dedicated to fostering a much-needed dialogue between anthropologists and the general public. Anthropologists spend years conducting research and writing important articles that rarely reach the public. This magazine's objective is to construct a bridge between scientists and the public to inform, educate, and ultimately share that vast amount of knowledge in a manner that is both considerate and informative. Each issue contains Features submitted by social scientists working in the subfields of Archaeology, Biological Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, and Linguistic Anthropology. In addition, articles from other social scientists and interdisciplinary fields are also presented. Each issue features several Departments written by social scientists, including Social Science across the Globe, Primate News, and Global Education. The first issue is scheduled to be published in March 2010.
