ABOUT

The NSF CAMP Community (CAMP Community) is a collection of 700+ scholars, students, and practitioners around the world who are advancing research methods in anthropology through scholarship, teaching, and practice. Our work aims to nurture a community in which new ideas and junior scholars can flourish. We take a “big tent” approach to understanding methods in anthropology – we welcome all methods in the tent. This big tent approach helps scholars to work across long-standing divides in anthropology by building more innovative, integrative, and collaborative methods practices.

All are invited to join the CAMP Community by signing up here (subscription instructions below), and all are invited to participate in the activities outlined below. Methods are for everyone!

The CAMP Community Listserv is a place for students, scholars, and practitioners to engage in dialog about research methods. There are currently 700+ members. We welcome posts to the listserv that: ask for advice about methods, publicize job openings, announce methods events, or share new methods publications. The listserv is moderated. Only posts related to research methods scholarship, teaching, and practice are allowed. We ask that Community members engage in respectful and professional conversation. Any messages that contain unprofessional, inappropriate, or harmful content will not be posted. Repeated instances of unprofessional behavior will result in removal from the listserv community.
