Worth a Thousand Words? Studying Images on the Covers of Introductory Cultural Anthropology Texts
Strategies in Teaching Anthropology
(2010)
Abstract
Unique in focus and content, Strategies In Teaching Anthropology focuses on the "how" of teaching anthropology across all the major sub-fields--Cultural, Biological, Archaeology, and Linguistics--and their two dimensions: research and applied studies. This text provides a wide array of associated learning outcomes and student activities. In addition, it is a valuable single-source compendium of strategies and teaching "tricks of the trade" from a group of seasoned teaching anthropologists--working in a variety of teaching settings--who share their pedagogical techniques, knowledge, and observations. Focused on the applied, "how to do it" side of teaching, this text is designed to fill the gap between students who are taking an anthropology class for the first time, and instructors who know their subject matter in depth. It helps professors who are not sure how to present anthropological subject matter and processes to their students in a way that will capture and relay their own excitement with the subject.
