Having looked at the debate among critical geographers over blogging and social media (here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>), let’s look at another, adjacent discipline: anthropology<\/em>.<\/p>\n

No work necessary: Ryan Anderson’s latest post at Ethnographix<\/a> does it for us. Anthropologists,\u00a0 Anderson writes, have been “slow to find their way into the vastness that is the internet.” Fortunately, there are some excellent exceptions. His overview of them covers almost all of the anthro blogs in my own blog reader: Savage Minds<\/a>, Neuroanthropology<\/a>, Zero Anthropology<\/a>, Middle Savagery<\/a>, Archaeological Haecceities<\/a>, media\/anthropology<\/a>, Michael Shanks’s<\/a> excellent personal blog, and a few others. (I would add Anthropology.net<\/a> and Material World<\/a> to the list.)<\/p>\n

Anderson has cross-posted the piece, plus a readers’ poll, at Daily Kos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

(This could become a little like my Environmental Thought and Culture graduate seminar, where we do a survey of how different social science and humanities disciplines are meeting the eco-critical challenges of the twenty-first century. Next stop: philosophy? sociology? English lit? communication studies? I’ll leave those to others, for now.)<\/p>\n
