Anthropology Matters

Welcome to the latest issue of Anthropology Matters: Vol 11 No 2 (2009). We are with this issue introducing OJS to our readers. OJS is a journal management and publishing system for Open Access Journals. Authors can now register and submit articles online.

Anthropology Matters is an initiative developed by postgraduates and early-career anthropologists. The site aims to stimulate discussion on the production of anthropological knowledge through a focus on training, teaching, research and writing.

Anthropology Matters features an open-access academic journal, various anthropology resources, and an email list that distributes relevant information about jobs, conferences, etc. We encourage all those interested in anthropology to use and contribute to this website. You can register on this site to receive journal alerts, and you can join the email list.

ASA

Anthropology Matters is the official postgraduate network of the Association of Social Anthropologists of UK and Commonwealth (the ASA). Anthropology Matters received its start-up funds from the Centre for Learning & Teaching - Sociology, Anthropology & Politics (C-SAP), and is run by a steering committee of postgraduate researchers and early-career anthropologists.

The journal usually publishes two issues a year and submissions to the journal are welcomed. For further information about the Anthropology Matters journal please click on the relevant links on this page or email the editor: pollard.amy(AT)googlemail.com.


Vol 11, No 2 (2009): Fieldwork support

This issue of Anthropology Matters features an opening piece which presents the results of interviews with 16 PhD students concerning difficulties encountered during their fieldwork. The piece is both powerful and provocative, and will hopefully serve as an aid for thoughtful discussions in pre-fieldwork courses, post-fieldwork seminars, and departmental planning meetings. Anthropology Matters invited four academics to start the discussion by writing brief responses to Pollard’s account.
