Inspires students to think like anthropologists in a multicultural and global age. Covering the essential concepts that drive cultural anthropology today, Ken Guest’s Cultural Anthropology: A Toolkit for a Global Age shows students that now, more than ever, global forces affect local culture and that the tools of cultural anthropology are essential to living in a global society.

Designed to complement Cultural Anthropology: A Toolkit for a Global Age, every activity in the Fieldwork Journal enhances students’ understanding of the concepts covered in the parent textbook. When paired with each chapter’s reading, practicing fieldwork skills such as note-taking, interviewing, map-making, and drawing large-scale conclusions from careful observation will engage students more deeply in the course material. Compact and easy to use, the Fieldwork Journal includes space to write notes and record data.

Essentials of Cultural Anthropology: A Toolkit for a Global Age

Help your students apply their anthropological toolkit to the real world. Ethnographic fieldwork is one of the most fundamental (and for students, sometimes daunting) tools for anthropological study. In a new supplement for the introductory textbook Cultural Anthropology: A Toolkit for a Global Age, Ken Guest’s Cultural Anthropology Fieldwork Journal helps students apply the concepts they are learning in class while out in the real world. The step-by-step exercises in the Fieldwork Journal encourage students to observe, question, and generate their own data about the places, relationships, and networks that they may take for granted in everyday life: from friendships, family dynamics, and consumption habits to classrooms, places of worship, TV screens, and their own homes.
