Happy Anthropology Day!

 

Still have to explain what our discipline is about?

Here’s an article that might be of help:

The Huffington Post: “In honor of Anthropology Day on February 16, help the Anthropology students in your life celebrate the inherent value of their discipline. For those of you with college children not majoring in Anthropology, suggest an Anthropology minor. Those of you able to do so, take a community college or continuing education Anthropology class. Nothing would be more broadening of your horizons. The world is a very, very big place.” (Source: Anthro Day)
