Making #AAA2016 Manageable: The Teaching Culture Top 30
We’ve been assembling a list of AAA recommendations for the last couple of years and didn’t want to disappoint. Below is a list of our Top 30 must-attend sessions. It is by no means exhaustive. With hundreds of sessions competing for attention, this list can only ever be partial, reflecting our own interests in teaching and publishing, in public anthropology, and in ethnographic methodologies of all kinds. That said, we also wanted to include a few sessions that speak to some of the key issues of the day: race, refugees, and the standoff at Standing Rock. read more…

Chatting While Waterskiing, Part 3: Drawing as an Ethnographic Method
In this three-part blog series, Erika Hoffmann-Dilloway of Oberlin College reflects on the challenges she has encountered in trying to incorporate drawing into her work as a linguistic anthropologist. In this final post, she writes (and draws) about using methods learned in a graphic workshop in her ongoing research in Malta, and some of the ways in which local signers integrated writing and drawing into their own communicative practices. The blog series precedes the November publication of Andrew Causey’s new book, Drawn to See: Drawing as an Ethnographic Method.

Zombies, Zombies, Everywhere
Our love affair with zombies has lasted at least a decade, if not more (28 Days Later came out in 2002!). And yet it doesn’t seem to grow old. Season 7 of The Walking Dead begins later this month, and Fear the Walking Dead appears to be set for a third season. Resident Evil: The Final Chapter and World War Z 2 will be coming out in 2017. People have turned to zombies to inspire things like emergency preparedness (see the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for Zombie Preparedness and a range of zombie products, for instance). It should be no surprise that zombies have entered the classroom too. read more…
