By Caroline van Slobbe Now, it is all over. I went to Cuba, wrote my MA thesis, and in July received an email that I graduated. Wow, that sounds so simple, and quick. Still, when I look through my pictures or lay down in the park (I finally have time for that), I recall some of the great moments. I will share some of them here:
For once I do not smell the pollution of the vintage cars when I cross the street in front of Hotel Capri, because the smell of fresh asphalt is even stronger. We are close to the United States Embassy. The sound of drilling machines hurts my ears. Drips of paint are falling down from above; the facades and balconies are rapidly (but not so carefully) given a fresh color. Park benches and fences too. Suddenly the usual garbage on the street corner is gone. And everyone knows: Obama will pass here, in this street! Lees verder
Door Freek Colombijn Ik was met een vriend onderweg naar een interview op een fabriek waar plastic wordt gerecycled. Mijn Indonesische vriend had aangeboden me te vergezellen, wat ik in de eerste plaats heel gezellig vond, maar me ook het gemak van een eigen auto gaf. Op de heenweg kwamen we bij de plaats Sidoarjo (Oost-Java) langs een hoge wal van blokken steen versterkt met gaas van ijzerdraad. Hij vertelde dat hierachter de moddervlakte lag, die veroorzaakt was door gasboringen door het bedrijf PT Lapindo Brantas (of kortweg: Lapindo). Ik vroeg hem om op de terugweg te stoppen, zodat we even op de plaats des onheils konden kijken. 
By Sophie Pape Are you happy with your life? The way you have constructed it? What if you were born in another country? Would it be the same? It is likely that it will be quite different. Questions like these popped up while watching the documentary Time to look at girls: Migrants in Bangladesh and Ethiopia, which was shown by Marina de Regt during the EASA Anthropology of Children and Youth Seminar on 19 November 2015. Since June 2009, this EASA Network organizes monthly meetings, which bring together students, researchers, NGOs and policy makers working with children and youth (www.anthropologyofchildren.net).
