"Odd language and sweeping generalizations are hardly as obvious as you claim.

Stephen Nugent commented on Eliza Jane Darling's group Goldsmiths Anthropology Uncut"The shift of burden from public purse to private began long before 'Labour in the late 1990s'. And check out what happened to the UGC while making those corrections.
An SMT gamut running from 'limp-wristed to the outright…"
Stephen Nugent commented on Eliza Jane Darling's group Goldsmiths Anthropology Uncut"For a good piece on the proposed abolition of UK higher education, see Stefan Collini in recent issue of London Review of Books."

For temporary, adjunct, fixed-term, visiting, postdoctoral, independent (and any other polite euphemism for un- and under-employed) anthropologists.
Eliza Jane Darling replied to Stephen Nugent's discussion London Anthropology Day - anthropology outside academia"Hi Annabelle,
I think Steve may be away at the moment but I was on this plenary and I'll try to find out if any of the papers or abstracts will be going up online. Mine (on anthropological labour inside and outside the academy) will be going…"
"Very interesting subject - there is a big and important role for anthropologists to play in social research but at the moment this role is hampered because of the difficulty social anthropologists appear to have defining themselves within mainstream…"
Eliza Jane Darling replied to Stephen Nugent's discussion London Anthropology Day - anthropology outside academia"Sorry my earlier post got deleted; I was fooling around with my profile and accidentally trashed everything except what was common to the general Ning platform. Have emailed you about the plenary."
Dawn Nafus replied to Stephen Nugent's discussion London Anthropology Day - anthropology outside academia"Stephen,
I'm not a student anymore (finished a PhD about 5 years ago) but I am one of the many who work outside a university. Just wanted to say that even raising this issue and making it more visible does a world of good. Just seeing that it…"
Eliza Jane Darling replied to Stephen Nugent's discussion London Anthropology Day - anthropology outside academia"I don't think I qualify as a "recent" doctoral student anymore, but frankly the temporal aspect of it is a matter of structural perspective. I'm really dubious about the transferable skills debate, at least decontextualised from…"
Anthropology in London at UCL Anthropology

A plenary session for the forthcoming London Anthropology Day (15 June at UCL) will be devoted to the following: typically, doctoral research training takes as its focal group prospective academic anthropologists, yet the field has long been incapable of absorbing all the PhDs produced. Training specific to those who will work outside the academy is often residual, captured under the optimistic – and unexamined -title of ‘transferable skills’. In view of the status differential connoted by the…See More

Sarah Pink replied to Stephen Nugent's discussion London Anthropology Day - anthropology outside academia"Hi Stephen, in 2003 with the ASA and C-SAP I developed the ESRC Applications of Anthropology seminar series through which we explored some of these questions. It was a while ago now so some elements of the things we discussed might have changed but…"
Kristianne Ervik replied to Stephen Nugent's discussion London Anthropology Day - anthropology outside academia"I find the scope of the day fascinating - I believe there is a definite need to train anthropologists for work life, and for actually developping actively those transferable skills. For those remaining in academia this might even be seen as part of…"
