Hi! Welcome to the homepage of my blog! Here, you can find resources and updates going on around the blog. For additional info about what I’m doing and why I’m here you can visit the about section, you can contact me, or you can read my first published blog which provides a great summary of my goals.

Resources

• The American Anthropology Association (https://americananthro.org) – Great resource and even has a K-12 tab (Learn and Teach —> K-12 Resources) which has syllabi, tips, and intern oppurtunities.

• Quora Post (https://www.quora.com/Im-a-high-school-student-immensely-interested-in-anthropology-How-can-I-fuel-that-interest-and-become-involved-in-it-outside-the-classroom) – My favorite answer is the one by Benjamin Wintersteen which has some great tips and suggestions.

• Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/AskAnthropology/comments/7e2xx8/good_anthropology_books_for_a_high_school_student/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/AskAnthropology/comments/3atzyh/easiertoread_ethnographies_for_high_school/) – Another great resource for more niche questions. If you’re more into archaeology I recomend talking to u/brasdefer!

• University Websites – Many universities have websites for different departments within the universities. Within these websites you can find faculty, programs, and other relevant materials.

• Other Anthropology Blogs (https://anthropology4u.com/blog/) – Other blogs about anthropology offer a wealth of great articles and such. Here is one I found that I really like, but there so many blogs on the internet that I’m sure there’ll be one to your liking.

FAQ

Why Anthropology?

I choose to focus on anthropology because of its deep roots in academia, the variety it provides, and contents of the subject, which are immensly interesting to me. Everyone gets intoruduced to anthropology in a different way (mine was through my AP class and a book I read), and that’s what makes it such a diverse and great field.

What is this blog about?

This blog is about me (quite selfish, I know), and my journey as a high schooler to learning and getting acquainted with linguistic and cultural anthropology. Here, you will find entries that resemble a journal, describing what I’ve learned and through what means. You will also find resources and tips for those along a similar path.

Who are you?

I am an Asian-American high schooler who lives near New York City, that’s all I will say for now.
