First try of participant observation (Photo credit: Renton Z)
I am “cheating” a little today, as this post made it to my “professional” blog first. But I feel it’s appropriate for those who would like a little bit of context.
Forever the narcissist, I bear my anthropological soul. ;)
An Anthropologist In Context
I am an anthropologist.
I am a participant observer of this culture we call humankind.
I collect context and derive its meaning.
I attempt to communicate that meaning with empathy.
I do this to contribute to the advancement of human understanding.
I do this to earn a living.
I do this as a passion.
Doing this enhances and advances my other passions.
As with any human my context defines me.
I am an anthropologist.
