As an anthropologist currently working in the policy realm, I provide insights on the value of anthropology and its potential for growth and impact, both within and beyond academia. Drawing from my experiences studying in graduate school, teaching in academia, and holding nonacademic jobs, I suggest that anthropology can flourish by breaking free from disciplinary boundaries and silos, challenging conventional notions of scholarship, and by "studying in." The next 50 years of anthropology can be brighter, more inclusive, and more accessible if the discipline's practitioners think more critically about how we do our research and who we share our research with, what we frame as research and scholarship, and how we train and support the next generation of anthropologists
