Why should you study it? What will you learn? And what can you do with it? What Anthropologists Do answers all these questions. And more.Anthropology is an astonishingly diverse and engaged subject that seeks to understand human social behaviour. What Anthropologists Do presents a lively introduction to the ways in which anthropology's unique research methods and cutting-edge thinking contribute to a very wide range of fields: environmental issues, aid and development, advocacy, human rights, social policy, the creative arts, museums, health, education, crime, communications technology, design, marketing, and business. In short, a training in Anthropology provides highly transferable skills of investigation and analysis.The book will be ideal for any readers who want to know what Anthropology is all about and especially for students coming to the study of Anthropology for the first time.
Veronica Strang's What Anthropologists Do provides a valuable panoramic view of the wide-ranging work undertaken by anthropologists. Engagingly written and useful for school and anthropology students considering their career options, it will be accessible for any reader wondering what it is that anthropologists really do. Dr Kathryn Tomlinson Strang's excellent writing is interspersed with first-person narratives by practicing anthropologists in and out of the university relating why they chose the field and how their work grew into professions for which they have great passion. The combination of scholarship and personal accounts of practitioners make this book one of a kind. Essential. M.
