Blog Roll and Web Resources
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/).

This blog by Alex K. Gearin (currently a PhD student) is about culture and psychoactive substances and includes thoughts on the social, sensory, and ethical dimensions of shamanic practices and alternative religion. His entries are substantial essays rather than brief snippets.
