A few recent and upcoming publications on aviation from colleagues who work in Asia:
Jane Ferguson, 2014, 'Terminally Haunted: Aviation Ghosts, Hybrid Buddhist Practices, and Disaster Aversion Strategies Amongst Airport Workers in Myanmar and Thailand', Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology, vol. 15, no. 1, pp. 47-64.
(Jane continues to redefine fieldwork. Next time your plane is delayed, turn it into an ethnographic experience... Those of you in SEAS will remember Jane for her cutting edge research on punk and metal bands in Shan State that entailed late evenings playing music with locals.)
