Freelance Anthropology?

I’m sure the subject has come up before, but here it goes again…..Does one need a PhD in Anthropology in order to be called an Anthropologist? Must you belong to an organization such as a university…Continue

I first attended college in 1996, aboard the U.S.S .Enterprise. I was in the U.S. Marine Corps and part of one of the biggest NATO mission at the time, Operation Decisive Endeavor. I had no major,…Continue

Neuroanthropology and Cognitive Evolution
This group is dedicated to anthropological explorations of the human brain. Neuroanthropology is an interdisciplinary field that sits at the nexus of biological anthropology, cognitive neuroscience, and evolutionary neurobiology/neuroanatomy.
Steven R. Vasquez replied to Keith Hart's discussion Half-Yearly Open Forum 3-16 October"Hello all,
Sorry for joining in late……Unfortunately I cannot chime in all the technical issues that seem to be the main focus. After all I can’t even give good advise on how to prevent spam. (no pun intended) I can however…"
Steven R. Vasquez replied to Jacob Lee's discussion time to moderate new membership?"Mr. Jacob,
No one, including me, is saying to just throw your hands up in the air (like you just don’t care). My suggestion about carefully choosing an e-mail provider was so that in addition to receiving spam, a legitimate member does not…"
Steven R. Vasquez replied to Jacob Lee's discussion time to moderate new membership?"I agree with Michael in the sense that having any membership “moderated” would only cause unnecessary work for the administrators. There have been previous discussions on the issue here at the OAC and the usual final consensus tends to…"
John McCreery replied to Steven R. Vasquez's discussion Freelance Anthropology?"Hi, Steven. Hope all is well with you. My advice, such as it is, is never to claim a credential when the claim might come back and bite you some day. On the other hand, I see nothing whatsoever the matter with saying, for example, "I decided to…"
"I hope so too, Steven. I recall a very interesting exchange, to which John Mac contributed a lot, when you first joined the OAC. Some of what I would say now was said then. The question of how open or covert you can afford to be in research is not…"
Steven R. Vasquez replied to Steven R. Vasquez's discussion Freelance Anthropology?"Keith, since joining the OAC, my interest in anthropology and my overall understanding of what anthropology is has only grown. The internet I believe, has evened out the playing field in that now the novice have the same capabilities to operate at…"
Steven R. Vasquez replied to Steven R. Vasquez's discussion Freelance Anthropology?"Michael thanks for your response. I do apologize for the long response time but I have been very busy lately. Being an Anthropologist associated with an academic institution is my goal. However, given that I have school aged children and the current…"
Stefano Portelli replied to Steven R. Vasquez's discussion Freelance Anthropology?"Hello Steven! I've been calling myself a "freelance anthropologist" since I decided not to attend any Phd or MA program, about 10 years ago... I surely have an academic preparation as an anthropologist from my university in Rome, but…"
"It is obvious that a whole lot of anthropology today is tied up with the universities and most of our members have had some association with an anthropology program in them. But this identification of the discipline with the academy is historically…"
Michael Findlay replied to Steven R. Vasquez's discussion Freelance Anthropology?"To me the term Freelance Anthropologist conjures up images of the old style "anthropologists" (circa 17-19th centuries i.e. colonial era) who used other peoples first hand experiences and wrote articles about other cultures from the safety…"
Steven R. Vasquez joined Karen Ann Faulk's group
Political and Legal Anthropology
A forum for considering issues relevant to the anthropological study of law and politics, in all of its myriad interpretations.
Steven R. Vasquez joined John McCreery's group
Theory for Anthropology
OAC already has a group named Theory in Anthropology, a good place to discuss theories already embraced by anthropologists. This group is, instead, intended for discussion of theory found outside anthropology that anthropologists might find useful.
Steven R. Vasquez joined Josué Villegas's group
Mayan Studies
A forum for debating issues about mayan culture (archaeology, linguistics, anthropology, ethnohistory)
"Welcome back, Steven. It sounds as if you are making a lot of progress. Tomek is right. Although anthropology and sociology seem to overlap substantially, their intellectual cultures differ profoundly. Sociologists care most about being…"

Applied Anthropology or a Sociological Experiment?
Not long ago I joined the OAC and asked for some guidance about how I could apply anthropology to my current profession as a corrections officer. I was given some very sound advice (Thanks to Keith Hart and John McCreery). I had before attempted to aid in and develop a restorative justice program, that to cut to the point was not very well accepted. So with guidance from two professionals mentioned I decided to focus on why it was not well accepted. Particularly, is the stereotype of the… Continue

- Thanks, Steven. I didn't reply to your last posts because I thought they wrapped the thread up well and gave you the last word. I have enjoyed the exchange and hope to learn more from you.
