HCCS Anthropology Branches Discussion Post

 

The Discipline of Anthropology:

Chapter 1 of the text discusses the 4 major fields of anthropology and the diversity of interests among anthropologists. Go to the American Anthropological Association (Links to an external site.) website and visit the “AAA Sections (Links to an external site.)” AND “Interest groups (Links to an external site.)” links (accessible from the “Participate and Advocate” link).

  • How many specialized groups do you find listed? Which specialties interest you? 
  • What surprised you, if anything, about the range of topics or concerns covered by anthropology?
  • Which interest group/s, if any, might be useful to your major or profession?  How could it be “applied”?
