 I would propose a visual exhibition, but one curated by those within the communities themselves. Instead of an exhibit geared toward educators or possible “healers,” it would be by and for the community.

This outline relays the text in a very clear, understandable way. If I were to Re-Relay I would probably summarize some of the answers a little more where I felt too much information was given for just a brief outline, particularly the question on the author's assumptions that shaped the inquiry.

Elementary or middle school activity where students are broken into two different groups where one group works in person and one group works remotely using webcams (or some form of video chatting) to see the differences in the two practices. Potentially also an oral history of how people have used webcams in their lives and how it’s both different from and similar to communication in the past.

I think it would be very compelling to do a series of photographs that demonstrate the changing landcape. The cover has very strong imagery that conveys the depth and passion of the Zanzibari people during this time, and I bet that photo is just the tip of the iceberg.

I would propose including a more detailed outline of the themes that each chapter of the ethnography covers, that way a prospective audience can gain a sense of which chapters might be relevant to them and their work. While it is good to know that each chapter has a distinctive story that is connected to broader histories/practices, I would like to gain a better sense of what that actually looks like in the text. I would also expand a bit more on how the author connects the local stories to the broader discussions of gender politics in Muslim countries: how does patriarchy work across national lines? Which nations are examined in the text? How does the author manage to make these connections without grouping women under the broad categories of "Muslim woman," "Arab woman," and so on? In order to re-relay this ethnography, I would also provide a bit more detail about the specific theories/theorists brought up in the text, such that audiences get a sense of the theoretical genealogy from which Inhorn's text has drawn.

As this ethnography is centered largely around dichotomies I think it would be interesting to translate the work into a debate activity for high-school or college aged students.

The purpose of the article seems to be to map the vulnerabilities that individuals make as they migrate to the U.S. through Mexico and Central America so I think some sort of spatial activity involving her interlocutors. For example, by asking them to visually represent their journey and explore their different mappings of danger/vulnerability.

One possible way is to produce a documentary and post it on Youtube. This helps remind internet users worldwide that the internet is not equal to everyone.
