And all I got was trauma and student debt…
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.

As someone else who got an anth/arch degree, this is too real lmao. Amazing list!
Oooh i did arch and hist!
I took a few history courses! I really enjoyed them! One was on Witches hehe
Oh fun!! I did a class on anthropology of food, it was one of my favourite classes ☺️
I loved my class on food and culture! We read so many great books and articles. But we also made our own high fructose corn syrup and it was honestly one of the most disgusting things I've seen and I don't get squicked out easily.
I love that! I didn't take any courses like that, but I do have a few written papers on food & culture, namely with the Warlpiri people of Australia! It's very interesting!
I feel like anth/arch people need our own group therapy program 😂
