WWIV the anthropologist's war.
from the radio show, the best of our knowledge.
Academics are no longer just ivory tower analysts. The Defense Department has recently hired civilian anthropologists and social scientists as on-the-ground advisers to soldiers in something called the Human Terrain System. James Der Derian of Brown University talks to Anne Strainchamps about the controversy and his film “Human Terrain: War Becomes Academic.”

i blog about anthropology, with a few personal opinions and anecdotes thrown in. i try not to make posts about subjects that are already trending on tumblr. i make an effort to share information that may be of interest but has been missed by the radar. dig my archives like an archaeologist with a new trowel. i do this because i have anthropological super powers bestowed upon me by the gods of academia. none of which are that powerful, aside from the mind bullets.
