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/).
- Understanding Race (AAA) (http://www.understandingrace.org/home.html)
This project seeks to draw on the multiple tools and findings of anthropology—sophistication in historical research, biological analysis, and ethnographic study of lived experience—to explain differences among people and “reveal the reality—and unreality—of race.”
- Dylan Kerrigan (http://www.dylankerrigan.com/opeds)
Dylan Kerrigan is a cultural anthropologist based at the University of the West Indies, who studies and teaches on race, class, and culture in the Caribbean. He is an active writer of op-ed essays addressing issues of social inequality.
- Living Anthropologically (http://www.livinganthropologically.com)
This blog is maintained by Jason Antrosio at Hartwick College. It provides anthropological perspectives on issues of public concern, promoting four-field integration in the process. It has explored the theme of how race becomes biology (http://www.livinganthropologically.com/anthropology/how-race-becomes-biology/)
