In 2024, NSF CAMP – International will launch a free-to-all public anthropology methods curriculum. This highly anticipated launch is in partnership with the American Anthropological Association and the Society for Applied Anthropology, and an ever growing list of invited international anthropology partner organizations. We are excited to bring together organizations from around the world in a collaborative effort to expand access to and conversations about qualitative methods in anthropology. It is our goal that this international launch will allow anthropologists to engage with each other broadly, diversify the methods which we all have access to, and thus, strengthen our ability to engage research questions and pressing global issues with rigor and precision.

The CAMP International Curriculum

Welcome to the CAMP International online methods curriculum. Spanning 15 methods modules, these 50 lectures offer the best methodological guidance our nationally-selected Distinguished Teaching Faculty has to offer. In each lecture, these anthropological methodologists provide cutting-edge instruction on a range of mixed-methods used in anthropology and allied fields. These lectures can be used for learning or teaching, so we include a module on how to teach methods the CAMP way. We welcome you and hope you will join us as we cover a wide-ranging curriculum designed to meet the needs of our broad research community.
