A selection of anthropological reads from my days in academia. Some written for a general audience, while others require greater foundational knowledge to appreciate. Topics are largely intended to provide a traditional four-subfield approach, though sociocultural anthropology is largely (some would say over) represented. Includes titles written by authors outside the discipline but utilized in an interdisciplinary context.

Ethnography is a research method primarily used in social and behavioral sciences to gain a deeper understanding of human behaviors, motivations, cultures, and interactions. This list contains only ethnographies written by anthropologists/sociologists covering multiple sub-disciplines. Also included are meta books discussing ethnographic research itself.
