Five years ago, I was writing a grant to the Center for Research on College-Workforce Transitions (CCWT) at UW-Madison for a project where anthro majors would help us understand how anthro majors figure out their next #careerdevelopment steps after graduation, using their #anthropology skills to study the question. This week, I'm thrilled to announce, a series of papers by our research fellows and their mentors has been published in the Annals of Anthropological Practice: 1. Anthropology Majors Prepare for Life after College 2. “Hooked”: How Undergraduate Students Become Anthropology Majors 3. How Studying Anthropology Changes Students 4. “There’s a Lot You Can Do with It”: Anthropology Undergraduates Talk about Their Professional Futures 5. “Where do I Even Start?”: Exploring Resources for Anthropology Students’ College-to-Career Transitions 6. Student Researchers’ Reflections on the AAA Undergraduate Fellowship I'm so proud of my collaborator Palmyra (Myra) Jackson and all the students and faculty who participated, and thankful for the support we got from the American Anthropological Association. Here's the first article so you can read their work: https://lnkd.in/gHTbaey3
Great collection of papers! I've worked in this area as well, teaching MBAs how to apply anthropological theory in ethnographic market research: https://www.teachinganthropology.org/ojs/index.php/teach_anth/article/view/652
This is so exciting! Congratulations to the team!
Awesome Daniel Ginsberg The opportunities are endless. It's research so from data mining to sabermetrics I'm sure an anthropologist is connected. There's more to it than Louis Leakey.
Amazing! Such important work.
Thanks for sharing, and congratulations Dr. Ginsberg and Palmyra (Myra) Jackson! I shared this on the "Jumbotron" on the CCWT website!
Congrats Daniel, and so glad we could support this great and valuable work!
