[Linganth] new episode! "Is Talk Cheap? Making Palm Oil ‘Sustainable’: A Conversation with Montserrat Pérez Castro"

[Graber, Kathryn E.]

Greetings anthropologists,

As you prep for the holidays, why not spend 47 minutes and 16 seconds learning about the labor behind that ubiquitous oil in your chocolate and other processed foods? That's right: in the December installment of the Is Talk Cheap? series for Mergers & Acquisitions, we're talking about palm oil.

"Is Talk Cheap? Making Palm Oil ‘Sustainable’: A Conversation with Montserrat Pérez Castro"<https://econanthro.org/podcasts/is-talk-cheap-making-palm-oil-sustainable-a-conversation-with-montserrat-perez-castro/>

Mergers and Acquisitions is a podcast of the Society for Economic Anthropology, produced in collaboration with the American Anthropological Association. We feature quarterly thematic collections on topics that range from climate change and digital capitalism to entrepreneurship, waste, and energy.

In the Is Talk Cheap? <https://econanthro.org/category/podcasts/is-talk-cheap/> series<https://econanthro.org/category/podcasts/is-talk-cheap/>, PhD student Ariana Gunderson and I are bringing economic anthropology and linguistic anthropology together to explore language and value. We are hosting interviews with anthropologists thinking critically about qualia, evaluation, authenticity, and circulation, tracing the ways that value is semiotically negotiated and constructed.

Be sure to subscribe so you catch the third and final installment in this series–
January 1: Is Talk Cheap? Language, Tourism, and Landscape with Thea Strand

Happy listening,
Kate
