I find this “why is there no anthro journalism” post amusing since, as I prepare to go get formal computer training & switch careers, but read anthropology voraciously as a hobby of sorts, my mind has toyed with the idea of “writing about anthro for the general public” as something I might do. Hmm…
anthropologists seem both protective and defensive of their discipline – and not without good cause, as they are vanguards of cultural relativism (looked down upon) and shine a light on most effects of colonialism & imperialism (can’t have that), and nevertheless need funding to continue existing and researching.
*in Satchel’s voice* Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
If I concentrate really hard, I can get what you’re saying. I can find my way around Home Depot (previous post), but I cannot read to save my life…
