Student Researchers' Reflections on the AAA Undergraduate Fellowship
When the American Anthropological Association offered its Undergraduate Research Fellows program in 2019-2020, the intent was not only to obtain ethnographic insights into the college-workforce transition for anthropology majors, but also to provide a meaningful educational experience to the participating student-researchers. Previously (Ginsberg and Jackson, this issue), we have situated the fellowship program with reference to ethnography of hi…
Anthropology Majors Prepare for Life after College
Unlike business, health, or engineering courses, undergraduate liberal arts programs do not point majors directly to a professional application, so students often need to creatively explore and identify professional roles and workplaces in which to use their education. Anthropology presents particular challenges: while students may enroll in economics if their institution has no undergraduate business program, or biochemistry may function as prem…
Offering Informal Education in Public Libraries through Exhibit Design
The American Anthropological Association’s forthcoming traveling exhibit on the subject of migration and mobility is designed to be hosted by public libraries. By recruiting libraries as host institutions, we make scholarship accessible to general audiences and provide a focal point for programming and community engagement. This essay outlines our approach to designing with libraries in mind, aiming to influence public discourse about a topical i…
The Social Network of US Academic Anthropology and Its Inequalities
Anthropologists often call attention to the problems posed by social inequality, but academic anthropology also reproduces many of the very inequalities that its practitioners work to critique. Past research on US academic hiring networks has shown evidence of systematic inequality and hierarchy, attributed in significant part to the influence of academic prestige, which is not necessarily a reflection of merit or academic productivity. Using ant…
Anthropology Between Academia and Practice
Anthropological skills and perspectives are of use in many professional contexts, and in a few industries, the value of anthropology is generally accepted: historic preservation, public health, and user experience research are prominent examples. As a result, a vibrant community of “practicing,” “professional,” “public,” and “applied” anthropologists has taken root in a variety of non-academic settings. The relationship between academia and profe…

Looking Beyond English: Linguistic Inquiry for English Language Learners
This paper reports on a pilot project that explored the potential of linguistic inquiry in a high school English as a Second Language (ESL) class. In class meetings across the school year, students worked collaboratively to investigate noun phrase pluralization, language acquisition, writing systems, and translation in their own and other languages. Classroom observations and students' oral and written work provide evidence that: Examining the st…
