Blog Roll and Web Links
Reading anthro blogs is a great way to keep up with the latest developments and discoveries in the field, to get a sense of the most important debates and controversies and to find out what anthropologists think about world events. There are literally hundreds of blogs maintained by professional anthropologists from all the subfields (a quite comprehensive list can be found at http://anthropologyreport.com/anthropology-blogs-2014/).

The Human Family: Kinship, Social Organization, Etc., is a blog that explores a mix of traditional problems in kinship, family, and social organization in a twenty-first-century fashion.
- Kinship Studies (http://kinshipstudies.org/)
Kinship Studies: An Interdisciplinary Approach to a Classic Anthropological Subject contains blog entries about various kinship studies, but these tend to be quite wide-ranging, showing the holism that is required for understanding the subject of kinship and family relationships.
