How career ready are your students? Reflections on what we are (not) teaching anthropology students
Despite the growing market in industry, government, and non-profits for anthropologists, and their evident success there, anthropology has no real framework for teaching students about the practical applications of anthropology. This pattern appears at all degree levels-bachelor's, master's, and PhD. With that in mind, the Anthropology Career Readiness Network set out to investigate and identify some of the main gaps in academic training with res…
A Career Ready Curriculum for Anthropologists
Anthropology has never had an organizing framework or template for teaching an agreed-upon set of courses, a sequence in which those courses should be offered, or the knowledge, skills, and experiences that should be acquired in those courses. Instead, teaching has been left up to individual instructors. Significant changes in the job market for graduates, involving a decrease in academic opportunities and the growth of opportunities in industry,…
Development and Anthropology
International development is one of humanity’s most important global undertakings, but it is also a “wicked problem” characterized by uncertain and shifting priorities, disagreements, and unexpected outcomes. Created during and in the aftermath of World War II, the development industry of the early 21st century is large, complex, and highly influential. It is also relatively opaque to outsiders and largely independent of normal means of democrati…
Applied Anthropology
Applied anthropology is the use of anthropology to solve real‐world problems. Applied anthropologists are of two kinds: academically based anthropologists and anthropologists based outside the academy, or “practitioners.” Application and practice have always been a fundamental aspect of the discipline but were marginalized by the academy in the mid‐twentieth century. In the past several decades application has seen a resurgence of interest, as gr…
Using Anthropology in the World: A Guide to Becoming an Anthropologist Practitioner
Anthropologist practitioners work outside the confines of the university, putting their knowledge and skills to work on significant problems in a wide variety of different contexts. The demand for anthropologist practitioners is strong and growing; practice is in many ways the leading edge of anthropology today, and one of the most exciting aspects of the discipline. How can anthropology students prepare themselves to become practitioners? Specif…
Framework for Rapid Situational Awareness in the Field
This report outlines an approach for helping Soldiers to quickly develop situational awareness in unfamiliar cultural situations. Soldiers in the field engage in a variety of non-combat encounters with culturally different individuals, but it is often impossible to prepare Soldiers in advance for the cultural aspects of these encounters, even within a single country. The successful management of these encounters is, however, usually important for…
High‐Performing Applied Programs
A gradual but steady transformation has been occurring within US-based anthropology departments, which have been offering a coursework, community and organizational learning experiences, and career skills to their students to prepare them for the job market. This chapter looks at several of these programs in terms of their origins, similarities, and differences. Students should find the chapter useful for the contrasts drawn between academically …
Stress and Failure in Practice Work
This chapter looks at stress and failure in an anthropology practitioner career in terms of what professionals can do to reduce stress and recover from failure, should it happen. It begins with a short examination of career arcs, moves to a discussion of stress and burnout in the workplace, and concludes with some observations about professional failure and recovery. Stress is mental or emotional discomfort, which may accompany task overload, amb…

The competencies or skill sets they bring to this work make them exceptionally well-suited to succeed. At the same time, their training does not fully prepare them either to compete successfully for international assignments with other nonanthropologist candidates, or for some of the challenges they may face in the f…

If You’re not Sure who You are, Try Being Someone Else for a While: Senegal and the Making of a Practicing Anthropologist
To an increasing extent, success in a globalized world—for individuals, organizations, and nations—depends on the ability to manage cultural differences. This is good news for anthropologists, who claim to know a lot about cultural differences. We know less than we should, however, about how to put what we know to use
Culture Shock and Cross-Cultural Adaptation Or, I Was OK Until I Got Here
Cross-cultural interaction is occurring today on an unprecedented scale, as North meets South and West meets East. Many people believe that this will promote peace and understanding, and in the long run, they may well be right. But in the short term, such contact is more likely to produce "culture shock"—a stress-related syndrome whose symptoms can include. anxiety, confusion, depression, hostility, and even physical illness.

Measuring Peasant Attitudes to Modernization: A Projective Method [and Comments and Reply]
A photographic test for attitude measurement (PHOTAM) based on the projective principle provides an effective means for evaluating objectively as well as subjectively attitude profiles of modernizing peasants as demonstrated in a study of agricultural change in Campeche, Mexico. PHOTAM involves ten steps: (1) reconnaissance to provide an empathetic overview of the peasant group, (2) a priori selection of attitudes postulated for resolving the res…

L'histoire des migrations bassari, influences et perspectives
This article traces the development of labour migration from the Bassari village of Etyolo in Senegal-Oriental.
