The NSF CAMP is building a community of practice to support methods scholarship in cultural anthropology. A major goal of our Community of Practice is to create an inclusive, big tent for all teachers of methods in anthropology, as well as practitioners and researchers. Our work aims to nurture a community in which new ideas and junior scholars can flourish. It also helps scholars work across long-standing divides within cultural anthropology, by building more innovative, integrative, and collaborative methods practices. All are invited to join by signing up here, and all are invited to participate in the activities outlined below. Methods are for everyone!
