Amber times: Reflections on entanglements and (missed) encounters from the Chiapas mines
The ERC-funded project "Amber Worlds: A Geological Anthropology for the Anthropocene (AMBER)" considers the multiple and entangled worlds of amber through ethnographic research in different sites of extraction, trade, and science.
For this Friday seminar, we have invited Associate Professor Alessandro Rippa to share some preliminary reflections regarding time and temporality from his recent fieldwork in amber mines in Mexico.

Alessandro Rippa is Associate Professor at the Department of Social Anthropology. His research concerns infrastructure, global circulations, and the environment. He is the PI of the ERC Starting Grant project "Amber Worlds: A Geological Anthropology for the Anthropocene" (2023-2028).
