Aims and scope
Anthropologists have long engaged communities and topics that have become central to contemporary debates. Through ethnographic research, they aim to understand how people’s everyday lives are shaped by, and in turn shape larger structural forces. Public Anthropologist discusses issues that are timely, and socially and politically challenging.
Public Anthropologist blog and journal aim at addressing conditions of violence, inequality and injustice, and exploring ways anthropology might impact processes of public awareness and social change.
