I really enjoy the YouTube videos hosted by Mike Rugnetta on the PBS Idea Channel. The videos almost always leave me thinking. This recent video on the online/offline distinction was right up my alley and even had a few blog inspiring moments.
Jason Antrosio has done some really great textbook reviews on his blog, Living Anthropologically. He even reviewed a portion of the textbook I am currently using, Kottak’s Window on Humanity. I highly recommend reading them; he has some great criticisms, particularly in relation to race and human evolution. This blog post probably won’t be as insightful or helpful. But, my […]

The post by Jason Antrosio on the presidential address by Virginia Dominguez, Anthropology’s Challenge: We can be better, was one […]
There have been many posts in response to Gov. Rick Scott’s comments about anthropology in the last few weeks. If you have somehow missed this news item, then please peruse the many blog posts and news items on the subject. The most comprehensive coverage can be found at Neuroanthropology.
I started this blog after a student asked how she could be an anthropologist. I stuttered and while the obvious answer fell from my lips, the cogs in my mind began to turn. I told the student that she should start by taking some anthropology courses. Then, if she enjoyed them, I told her to […]
