AAA Site “This is Anthropology”

February 7, 2013 by Jason James Leave a Comment

The American Anthropological Association recently launched a new web site “This is Anthropology.” The site is intended to present anthropology to the broader public, and it includes information and tools that will likely prove useful to students as well.  It includes a good overview of career possibilities and the skills that anthropologists possess, which could help students to refine the way they present the value of their studies to potential employers.  And when friends of family members get that skeptical or puzzled expression when you talk about majoring in anthropology, send them a link to this site!
