News and interesting stuff for Anthros and beyond! Seriously, What’s the Point? January 23, 2012. 8212; AnthroBrownBag @ 3:30 AM. Whenever I tell people I’m studying archaeology, I get one of several responses:. 1) “I always wanted to do something like that! I dug up my whole backyard one summer as a kid trying to be Indiana Jones! 2) “Oh, so you dig up dinosaurs and stuff? 8221; (Le sigh…). 3) “Archaeology…so, what exactly do you plan to do with that? What good are we doing? Unfortunately, it’s a ...

News and interesting stuff for Anthros and beyond! Loving Anthropology March 17, 2011. 8212; AnthroBrownBag @ 12:14 AM. In college, I had a friend whose major was Accounting. Number crunching, tax preparation, corporate budgeting. I didn’t get it. I mean, I. Didn’t get it. Why on earth would she choose such a mind-numbingly boring major? So one day I asked her. What she told me was simple: “I’m good at it. I can do the work, it doesn’t drive me nuts, and it pays. 8221; Enter the undergrad years. Inte...

News and interesting stuff for Anthros and beyond! Teaching, Grading, and Banging My Head Against the Wall? March 31, 2012. 8212; AnthroBrownBag @ 12:16 AM. Over the past couple week or so, as I’ve attempted to grade 40 Intro to Cultural Anthropology tests, I’ve been thinking about teaching, grading, and the impact it does (or doesn’t) have on my students. Wtf, I KNOW I never said that! 8221; To our anthro ears enculturated with cultural relativism, statements like these make us cringe. And yet, when...

News and interesting stuff for Anthros and beyond! Notes from the South. March 25, 2011. 8212; AnthroBrownBag @ 4:24 PM. Tags: Food and Culture. This post comes to you from the lovely city of Richmond, Virginia, at the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society. It’s a bit colder here than I’ve been used to the past couple weeks. It’s supposed to snow here tonight! Why would I ever leave the warm upper 70’s weather for chilly VA? Research and networking in new places, of course! March 17, 2011.

News and interesting stuff for Anthros and beyond! Tourism – Part 1. September 18, 2011. 8212; AnthroBrownBag @ 12:49 AM. Photo by tstadler - Flickr. Haven’t made any effort to learn the language, and definitely didn’t even. To read any serious ethnographies on the culture before they arrived. Tourism is also a popular subject for anthropologists to study these days, as evidenced by the papers and sessions on the topic at conference meetings like the AAA’s. I recently read a blog post on Savage Minds.

News and interesting stuff for Anthros and beyond! And so it begins… March 13, 2011. 8212; AnthroBrownBag @ 12:18 AM. I suppose I should begin by introducing the blog. This is as much an experiment in social media and information dissemination as anything else. As a graduate student who has recently begun to delve into anthropology blogs, I suddenly realized just how much information we were missing! Inspired as I was by the Anthro blogging community, I decided to try a different tact. This blog will pul...
