Important thread re. generation and the pandemic, and again something we’re exploring in our fieldwork. #Covid had profound impacts across generation and this is reflected in moments of intergenerational understanding/solidarity existing alongside discourses of division/tension.

#soc1027 students, I have one word for you: #ritual Such a shame our virtual exchange with @iupui anthropology students is over - this national tradition would be a belter to discuss!
A devastating yet beautiful tribute to so many lives lost.

Today we remember the 383 men and boys killed in the worst coal mining disaster in English history. The 12th & 13th December 1866 are dark days in Barnsley's history, underground explosions at The Oaks Colliery left few survivors, the youngest victim was just 11 years old.
