...your Mom is a cultural construct |
a place for anthropological rants, reason, and rapture. Anthropology is a curious beast. It is essentially the study of people from biological, cultural, linguistic, and archaeological perspectives. Since humanity is incredibly diverse, the field of anthropology is as well. My particular passion is medical anthropology. My research interests include: design, consumerism, disability, reproductive health, medical pluralism, sexuality, and stigma. I write this blog for two main reasons. One, it helps me figure out my own ideas. I don't pretend to be an expert on everything I discuss here, just trying to promote a little tolerance and understanding from the anthro perspective. And two, I firmly believe that social scientists are obligated to share their research. The findings are important and should be designed for public consumption. |

Notes 8 Famous Archaeologists who suck at their jobsfavorite line: “Most archeologists are after information about ancient cultures and Indy’s daring raid destroys an entire temple full of thousand year old machines that are still-functioning. He destroys them so that he can grab a bit of gold that weighs as much as a small rhinoceros’s ball sack. That’s like a scientist happening upon a working model of the Starship Enterprise, and smashing it up to get a good calculator.”
