Anthropological Lives: An Introduction to the Profession of Anthropology (Rutgers UP, 2020) Brigittine M. French, professor of anthropology, and assistant vice president of global education, and Virginia R. Dominguez
Anthropological Lives introduces readers to what it is like to be a professional anthropologist. It focuses on the work anthropologists do, their passions, and how being an anthropologist affects the kind of life they lead.
The book draws heavily on the experiences of 20 anthropologists interviewed by French and Dominguez, as well as on the experiences of the two co-authors. Man kinds of anthropologists are represented, and the book makes a point of discussing their commonalities as well as their differences.
Some anthropologists included work in the academy, some work outside the academy, and some work in institutions like museums. Included are cultural anthropologists, linguistic anthropologists, medical anthropologists, biological anthropologists, practicing anthropologists, and anthropological archaeologists.
A fascinating look behind the curtain, the stories in Anthropological Lives will inform anyone who has ever wondered what you do with a degree in anthropology.
