American Anthropological Association Blog
The American Anthropological Association (AAA) has created this blog as a service to our members and the general public. It is a forum to discuss topics of debate in anthropology and a space for public commentary on association policies, publications and advocacy issues. We will post select items that we think are of interest to our members or that you, the reader, have voiced an interest in. We invite you to use this domain to spur intellectual discussion and critique that is grounded in anthropological and other scientific research. Please feel free to contact us with any suggestions, queries or potential contributions you might have.
I was born in Ireland, but at four years old went to live in Luxembourg. My mother worked with the European Commission and thanks to the European School system, I became a ‘true’ European. I got my first degree (Sociology) in the University of Glasgow. After that I spent five years in Belgium doing various jobs in telemarketing, customer service and sales: I didn’t like them very much. After that I saw the light and managed to do a Masters in Social Anthropology of Development with SOAS in London. That was where I met my wife-to-be - referred to in these pages as WW (Wonderful Wife, Wonder Womyn, or Whipping Witch – depending on circumstances). After six months in Nigeria she suggested I come to Malaysia. I was able to find a lecturing job with HELP University College, and we eventually got married I am now a PhD candidate at Monash University Malaysia, researching the commercialisation of Malaysian blogs.

Four Stone Hearth - The Anthropology Blog Carnival
The Fourth Stone Hearth is a blog carnival that specializes in anthropology in the widest (American) sense of that word. Here, anthropology is the study of humankind, throughout all times and places, focussing primarily on four lines of research: archaeology socio-cultural anthropology bio-physical anthropology linguistic anthropology Each one of these subfields is a stone in our hearth. Four Stone Hearth is published bi-weekly, Wednesdays in odd-number weeks.
I am an assistant professor in the Linguistics department at the University of California, Berkeley. My research focuses on Amazonian languages, and I am particularly interested in the strategic use of grammatical resources in interaction, language documentation and revitalization, and language politics. I have principally worked with speakers of Nanti (Arawak) and Iquito (Zaparoan), in Peruvian Amazonia.
The study of language has been part of anthropology since the discipline started in the 1ate 1870s. This site is a place for linguistic anthropologists to post their work and discuss important events and trends in the field.
I am an anthropologist specialising in the study of media. Currently I am Senior Lecturer in Media at Sheffield Hallam University and a Fellow of the Digital Anthropology Programme, University College London (UCL). In May 2009 I taught media anthropology as a Visiting Professor at the University of Vienna. The aim of this blog is to put out in the public domain materials that I am already working with as part of my research activity under the broad theme of media anthropology. The idea is to keep colleagues, students and others informed of my work as well as to keep an online diary for my own personal use, e.g. as an easy way of tracking down notes that may otherwise have remained hidden in my personal records.
This site, established in 1994 at New York University School of Medicine, is dedicated to providing a resource for scholars, educators, students, patients, and others who are interested in the work of medical humanities. We define the term "medical humanities" broadly to include an interdisciplinary field of humanities (literature, philosophy, ethics, history and religion), social science (anthropology, cultural studies, psychology, sociology), and the arts (literature, theater, film, and visual arts) and their application to medical education and practice. The Literature, Arts, and Medicine Database holds annotations of works of literature, art, and film relevant to the illness experience, medical education and practice -- fiction; poetry; memoir, biography, autobiography; literary, cultural, and social criticism; visual art; film; drama. The annotations are written by an invited editorial board of scholars from all over North America.
I am a cultural anthropologist who studies new media use, particularly among young people in Japan and the US. My research group at Keio University studies mobile technology use, and I recently completed a study with Peter Lyman and Michael Carter on a multi-year project on digital kids and informal learning, with support from the MacArthur Foundation. As part of this, I'm doing case studies of anime fandoms in Japan and the English-speaking online world. I edited a book for MIT Press with Daisuke Okabe and Misa Matsuda entitled, Personal, Portable, Pedestrian: Mobile Phones in Japanese Life., and my book on children's software, Engineering Play: A Cultural History of Children's Software is due out from MIT Press this fall, together with the book reporting on the digital youth project, Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out: Kids Living and Learning with New Media.
Online supplement to museum anthropology, the journal of the council for museum anthropology, a section of the American Anthropological Association
Neuroanthropology is a collaborative weblog created to encourage exchanges among anthropology, philosophy, social theory, and the brain sciences. We especially hope to explore the implications of new findings in the neurosciences for our understanding of culture, human development, and behaviour. If you would like more information, please contact Greg Downey at Macquarie University gdowney (at) mq.edu.au (remove spaces).
Open Access Anthropology — Promoting Open Access in Anthropology
This is the blog for Open Access Anthropology, an organization of volunteers interested in creating open access alternatives to anthropological publications. This blog will be the news outlet for the organization where we will announce news like current events progress within the discipline.
If anthropology claimed the world for study by Europeans and Americans, OPEN ANTHROPOLOGY is (also) about “the world” reclaiming anthropological knowledge for its own self-understanding, self-expression, and self-identification.
Savage Minds | Notes and Queries in Anthropology — A Group Blog
Savage Minds is a collective web log devoted to both bringing anthropology to a wider audience as well as providing an online forum for discussing the latest developments in the field. We are a group of Ph.D. students and professors teaching and studying anthropology and are excited to share it with you. You can find out more about the contributors by clicking on the ‘about’ pages on the right for each of us. The title of our blog comes from Lévi-Strauss’s book Pensée Sauvage. And yes: those are pansies on the mast head.
Society for Linguistic Anthropology Blog
Linguistic Anthropology is the comparative study of the ways in which language shapes social life. It explores the many ways in which practices of language use shape patterns of communication, formulate categories of social identity and group membership, organize large-scale cultural beliefs and ideologies, and, in conjunction with other semiotic practices, equip people with common cultural representations of their natural and social worlds. On this website, you can find information about who we are, where to contact us, what we do, and how to participate.
A discussion forum run by a seasoned Community College Instructor for those who want to share the pluses, minuses, rants, and fist bumps that come from teaching Anthropology at the undergraduate level. Gather up your pigs, yams, and banana leaf bundles and join the fun.
I am an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of North Florida, where I have been since 1989. I came to linguistics and anthropology after teaching Spanish as a Peace Corps Volunteer on Carriacou, Grenada, 1971-74. From this experience I developed a deep and abiding interest, some might say obsession, with the role of "non-standard" languages in education, and this is reflected in my doctoral research. As a four-field trained anthropologist, I teach and write about a range of topics that includes language, human evolution, human biological and cultural diversity, and the uses of anthropology in helping to explain and solve human problems. As a scientific anthropologist, I am dedicated to research that is empirically based and that has the potential to lead to nomothetic explanations of human nature.
This Blog Sits at the Intersection of Anthropology and Economics
In the First World, culture is constantly formed and reformed by commerce. Back to school for the anthropologist: in my case, to economics and complexity theory. I hold a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Chicago and I have taught at the Harvard Business School. The places that culture and commerce, anthropology and economics meet most often: marketing in general, branding in particular, popular culture, Hollywood, advertising, television, magazines, and, increasingly, blogging.
