What is culture? Anthropology has many long-winded definitions, which tend to be abstract and hard to remember. The definition I give my students is, culture is the way we are together. Think of any domain of life--family, finance, school, work, play, art, disaster response, medicine, sex, childbirth, death, faith practice, vacation, etc--and think of how the people you know engage in that with each other.

You have ways. You have "we"s. You have culture.

What is reflexivity? My students and I were talking about this in regard to objectivity and knowledge-making, and they were equating reflexivity to being aware of, and controlling for, your bias. But it's also more. Reflexivity is knowing where you stand, and knowing that where you stand influences what you're able to see. Reflexivity is knowing that people might not want to talk to you, or might talk differently to you than another, because of who you are.

Man I really like teaching cultural anth. After covering some basic methods and what-is content over the first three weeks, we're now doing deep dives every single class and it's so fun. What is race & how does othering show up, what is magic and why isn't it as accepted as religion, is being fat bad for you given the role of anti-fat cultural bias in research, if objectivity is impossible what are the alternatives ...

Anthropology Day is coming up, and ... I just signed up for the K-12 matchmaking program!

Backstory, February 16 is #AnthroDay, a time to celebrate the discipline and share it with the wider world. In the matchmaking program, anthropologists can sign up to present to a classroom of K-12 students on a topic of their choice. I chose #archaeology and #creationStories.

And now, I'm excited.

Here's a public talk I gave on my masters thesis, "Deepening: Place Relationship in the Valley of Lake Creek, Oregon," during my defense. It's an ethnography of place, involving mythology, archaeology, history and ethnographic interviews. (Think of it as a 45-minute podcast ep.) Fun!
