...your Mom is a cultural construct |
a place for anthropological rants, reason, and rapture. Anthropology is a curious beast. It is essentially the study of people from biological, cultural, linguistic, and archaeological perspectives. Since humanity is incredibly diverse, the field of anthropology is as well. My particular passion is medical anthropology. My research interests include: design, consumerism, disability, reproductive health, medical pluralism, sexuality, and stigma. I write this blog for two main reasons. One, it helps me figure out my own ideas. I don't pretend to be an expert on everything I discuss here, just trying to promote a little tolerance and understanding from the anthro perspective. And two, I firmly believe that social scientists are obligated to share their research. The findings are important and should be designed for public consumption. |

Notesnupcycle: If each one of Northwestern’s 8,000 students throw out 3 cardboard coffee sleeves a week, we’re throwing 1,248,000 cardboard sleeves into landfills each year (and let’s be honest, we all drink more than 3 cups of coffee a week…)
Do your part to reduce your waste by learning how to make a reusable coffee cozy. Watch the video to learn how!
The materials you needs are: a sewing needle, thread, cardboard coffee sleeve, tracing marker or chalk, and eco-felt or an old sweater. We are making this tutorial out of eco-felt because it’s made from 100% post-consumer recycled bottles. You can buy eco-felt cheaply at any craft store. It’s about $0.59 for a 9X11 piece at Tom Thumb on Davis Street. However, if you want to make this project even more environmental, you can make this from an old sweater. Check out this great tutorial by CraftStylish to learn how!
