Comments on: Comparing Anthropology to Oranges http://savageminds.org/2006/07/21/comparing-anthropology-to-oranges/ Notes and Queries in Anthropology — A Group Blog Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:06:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Arlene Wilson http://savageminds.org/2006/07/21/comparing-anthropology-to-oranges/comment-page-1/#comment-16260 Arlene Wilson Tue, 25 Jul 2006 14:21:11 +0000 http://savageminds.org/2006/07/21/comparing-anthropology-to-oranges/#comment-16260 The discipline of anthropology needs to seek avenues to disseminate their research and findings outside of academia. I think both sociology and political science have more name recognition and general traction because they have done this. Having presented at an anthropology round table, I found the information facinating and thought it would be of great general value to the community--but it went no farther than the University Library bulletin board. Qualitative research methodology is expanding and has many applications for museums, curriculum development, etc. that need to be shared publicly.
