Abstract
As current editors of the Multimodal Anthropology section of American Anthropologist, we have witnessed patterns that reproduce the bad habiti of multimodal scholarship. These patterns suggest that multimodal anthropology’s potential is limited by the neocolonial values and structures continue to undergird and shape its potentials. We will share how we have navigated and disrupted these problematics by initiating several initiatives with our EIC - Elizabeth Chin – e.g., new critical and transparent frameworks for review; a curatorial process that showcase projects that reflexively and creatively engage with power relations; and blurring of boundaries between print and digital publication.
