Public Academy

Engaging Anthropology looks like it will be a fascinating book to read. There’s a post about it on antrologi.info. One of my favourite books is Popularizing Anthropology by McClancy and McDonaugh which makes a strong argument that if anthropology (and science) is publically funded then there is an obligation to make your results accessible to the public. They also make the argument that popular does not automatically mean unscholarly. On a connected note Snail’s Tales marks the 146 anniversary of the publishing of On the Origin of Species.

Both posts have plenty for links to follow up.
