From the Back Cover:
Unique in focus and content, this book is the first to focus on the “how” of teaching anthropology across all of its sub-fields—Cultural-Social, Biological, Archaeology, and Linguistics (and their two dimensions: research and applied studies)—and to provide a wide array of associated learning outcomes and student activities. It is a valuable single-source compendium of strategies and teaching “tricks of the trade” from a group of seasoned teaching anthropologists—working in a variety of teaching settings—who share their pedagogical techniques, knowledge, and observations. It is focused on the applied, “how to do it” side of the pedagogical nature of teaching. Contains general tried-and-true teaching techniques for all sub-disciplines; specific tips for teaching Biological Anthropology and Archaeology; and specific tips for teaching Cultural Anthropology. Includes team work strategies; tricks for making comprehensible several of anthropology's “esoteric” topics; strategies for demonstrating anthropological perspectives that contradict everyday experience and establish social categories; techniques that use the familiar to illustrate the novel; four articles that directly teach ethnography; and several on technology-related techniques. For teachers of anthropology.
