Anthropology’s unique cross-cultural and deeply temporal approach to understanding human diversity is perhaps the smartest and most practical route that a general liberal arts student can select.  A major or minor in anthropology can be easily supplemented with a variety of relevant courses focused on any number of specific career goals and orientations.  If a solid liberal arts foundation is your first educational goal, consider a major in anthropology. It offers a way of “seeing” and “reading” the world that is in increasing demand in these changing multicultural times.

Prof. Makihara and Rodríguez recently published their new book “Language and Political Subjectivity: Stancemaking, Power and Politics in Chile and Venezuela” with Berghahn Press. They present an ethnographic and historical perspective on how Indigenous and diasporic communities, with their political subjectivities, expand over sociohistorical changes and struggles in the transformation of Chilean democracy and Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution.

To read more about the book, CaMP Anthropology recently posted an interview with the Prof. Makihara and Rodríguez (https://campanthropology.org/) (scroll down if the post is not displayed at the top of the page).
