Field Notes

Naturalists carry notebooks.

Anthropologists do too.

These are mine.

A collection of observations about the strange, funny, beautiful and occasionally alarming behaviors of our species.

Each notebook gathers essays around a particular theme, documenting the patterns that emerge when you start paying attention.

These aren’t hot takes.

They’re field observations.

Every essay is connected to the ideas explored throughout the Coercive Control and Humanism series, because everyday moments often reveal far more about power, character and belonging than grand theories ever could.

Welcome to the field.
