My discipline, anthropology, is not seen as "growth" disciplines, and departments are being closed down. But the world needs Anthropology and Anthropologists now more than ever!

Here are my 8 reasons for this:

  1. POSSIBILITIES
    At a time of polycrisis, when the destructive fallouts of capitalist modernity are ever more apparent, anthropology highlights that there are myriad alternative ways of thinking and living; that there is so much to learn from other peoples in the world. 1/n

Agree with all of the above. I grew up in and , worked in , and am now back in an academic role broadly framed in terms of societal transitions and ‘innovation’ (quotes because I dislike that term).

The most significant and valuable through it all has been the values, theory, and methods from my years explicitly learning / training / practicing anthropology. I wish more (any!) of my undergrad and postgrad students could deep dive in anthro at my university, but it doesn’t exist here as a discipline, degree, or department.
