Extractions: Origins of the Center: Purpose of the Center: Building on the foundations of anthropological knowledge, the Center has designed a K-12 curriculum. Currently, no comprehensive anthropology curriculum exists in the U.S. The program targets African-American children and their teachers in the St. Louis Area. It seeks to empower them by teaching them that the continent of their origin plays a unique role in the history of humankind. The position of anthropology is that "race" is not a defensible scientific concept. It is a cultural concept that attempts to classify people on the basis of biological variation. In reality, there is as much variation within "races" as there is between them. The greatest differences between humans are cultural, not biological. We are all members of one species.

Extractions: Sociology searches in disciplined ways for answers to questions about human social behavior: questions regarding human identity, social interaction, human relations and group dynamics. It studies the behavior and interaction of social groups and institutions; traces their origin and growth; and analyzes the influence of group activities on both group members and larger social units. The discipline of anthropology adopts an integrative, comprehensive approach to the study of humankind. Anthropologists seek to understand human conditions by examining the biological evolution of human beings, the human capacity to create culture, and the diverse ways of life developed by societies around the world.

Extractions: What can an anthropology degree do for you? "What's your major?" It is one of the most common queries heard on college campuses. What we study in college can determine the direction of our career for the rest of our lives. The purpose of this article is to introduce students to, or aid students already considering, a major in anthropology. What is Anthropology? bodyOffer(3819) Anthropology is "the study of people." There are several different types of anthropology that you can explore. The four major subcategories of anthropology are archaeology, cultural anthropology, physical (or biological) anthropology, and linguistics. Archaeologists are perhaps one of the more popular types of anthropologists in the eye of the media. If you select a major in anthropology, 2 out of 3 people will immediately envision Indiana Jones when you tell them what you study. Archaeologists are interested in painting a picture of our past by examining what was left behind. By studying artifacts, such as pottery shards, arrowheads, buried walls, and human remains, archaeologists tell us what life was like at a particular time in prehistory. They also attempt to explain how cultures and people change over time and the causes for this change. Where archaeologists study our past, cultural anthropologists study living cultures. They often do this by the widely practiced method of "participant-observation". This means the anthropologist studies the culture he or she is interested in first-hand. The anthropologist lives with the culture being studied and participates in their daily activities. It is believed that this is one of the best ways understand a culture that is foreign to ourselves. Typically, cultural anthropologists study non-Western cultures.

Extractions: Center for Asia Pacific America Research Mission statement The Center for Asian Pacific America supports research in Asian American studies in the broadest sense. Asian American Studies is a discipline currently at the intersection of several trajectories. From the beginning, the field has defined itself as both academic and activist, community-oriented; however, it now finds itself at the locus of often conflicting academic and social discourses. Paradoxically, recent developments in Asian American Studies have given rise to accusations of academic hermeticism on the one hand, and reductive identity politics activism on the other. Indeed, there is much disagreement within the discipline itself. Though Asian American Studies is an inherently interdisciplinary field, it is also the case that methodologies, foci, and emphases differ along recognizably traditional disciplinary lines. Most notably, the humanities and social sciences approach Asian American studies in markedly different ways. To be sure, there is overlap and disciplinary "borrowing," and the two schools have more often benefited than not from their differences. Nevertheless, distinct differences in relation to numerical data, the conceptualization of the subjects of study, and theorization, among other elements, suggest that much of the health of Asian American studies as a discipline has resulted from difference. These differences should not be elided or collapsed. If Asian American Studies is to thrive and grow, it must be the result of a creative and productive differences between the disciplines. The faculty involved with the Center for Asian Pacific America (CAPA) at the University of California, Riverside, represent a number of fields: Anthropology, Education, English, Ethnic Studies, Ethnomusicology, Psychology, and Women's Studies. Recognizing that interdisciplinarity may often be invoked in order to force similarities and awkward alliances, we take as one of our basic principles that it is precisely the diversity of approaches that enlivens the field.

S&F Online - Margaret Mead during her lifetime, a household word, her activities rendering anthropology intelligibleto the do the presenters at the conference teach us about http://www.barnard.columbia.edu/sfonline/mead/sharp.htm
Extractions: by Lesley A. Sharp "Cultural icon," professional maven, "true public intellectual," staff-toting "prophet," and even, "Mother of the World" and "Grandmother to the Nation" - such are the phrases that have surfaced in descriptions of Margaret Mead. She was an "indomitable," "controversial" and "revolutionary" woman in her personal style, her topical interests and her methodological concerns. She was opinionated, she was difficult, and, as a result, at times she seems to loom larger than life even decades after her death. But she's ours - as a Barnard graduate, an anthropologist, a New Yorker, an American and as a world citizen. These characteristics most certainly mark the cultural icon: we celebrate Mead's life because she was daring, outspoken and willing to experiment with new topics, ideas, and technologies. Her face has graced a U.S. postage stamp and even a wall at Epcott Center, because she stands out as remarkable woman of her times. Margaret Mead was, during her lifetime, a "household word," her activities rendering anthropology intelligible to the average American. As these conference presentations attest, there is also a timelessness about Margaret Mead's character, so that she emerges, most certainly, as a woman of our time, too. What, then, do the presenters at the conference teach us about Margaret Mead? First, that by the late 1920s Mead had emerged as a vanguard figure within the burgeoning field of American cultural anthropology, and she then defined, throughout the rest of her life, a series of trajectories for the discipline both within its own professional boundaries and in the everyday world beyond.

Extractions: lcosta@hollins.edu Abstract: In this article LeeRay Costa proposes that the varied activities of scholars working with the public in the Thai context might provide a useful model for public anthropology in the United States. Her essay focuses in particular on the praxis of women's studies professors at Chiang Mai University. A few weeks ago, I sat chatting over lunch with my colleague, Professor Bupa Wattanapun, at Chiang Mai University, Thailand. An instructor of research methods in the Faculty of Education, Ajaan Bupa is also the Acting Director of the Center for the Advancement of Lanna Women, a non-governmental organization (NGO) dedicated to improving the knowledge and skills of women at the village level in northern Thailand. Between mouthfuls I told her about the article I was planning to write about public anthropology. I said to Dr. Bupa, "I want to tell my colleagues back home about the community work you and other professors at the Center are engaged in and how you have taken an active role in working with the general public. I think faculty members at home should make more of an effort to work with local communities like you do."
