One of the best ways of doing that is to question what “counts” as scholarship.”

Agreed. That’s a pretty important question and I hope more people keep pushing the point on this. I think things need to open up a bit–and this includes alternative ways of publishing and presenting anthropology (films, etc). I definitely think it’s really important to think more about what counts, who makes that decision, and what that means in the grand scheme of things.

Great post. Sorry for lagging on posting a comment–I meant to write something a few days ago…but you know how it goes.
