[|Thinking about other cultures - Anita Herle] - Philosophy is a way of grasping our visible and invisible social world. But there is another way, and it's called anthropology, which studies the way in which various human cultures extend their grasp. This week, we take a philosophical look at what anthropologists get up to. Do they just observe people in grass huts or do the people have a say in what they get to observe?

[|A tribute to Claude Levi-Strauss] - Claude Levi-Strauss, the great French anthropologist died not long ago, just a few weeks short of his 101st birthday. We look at his work and find out why he was one of the great thinkers of the 20th century.

November 19 http://aaalive.conferencecontent.net

Anthropology has always been at the forefront of engaging disparate communities and social issues. The digital revolution has expanded this potential reach and capability, but has brought with it new sets of challenges: issues of authenticity, accessibility, and scholarly credibility weigh on researchers looking to work in the field. Anthropologists interested in the digital must develop new technological skills and explore beyond well-trodden career paths. How is the digital not only changing the communities anthropologists study but also the anthropologists themselves? With Tom Boellstorff as moderator of an AAA sponsored roundtable discussion, key anthropological figures will discuss their own digital research experiences: highlighting how they became interested in the field, the challenges they have faced, and what skills and knowledge helped them along the way. They will address how the use and examination of the digital as a frame has enhanced anthropological endeavors and how we as a community can foster anthropologists in a digital age through education, training and refinement of digital methods and ethics.
