Global events are unfolding at an incredibly rapid pace, and anthropologists have a wealth of knowledge to help us better understand some of the most pressing problems facing our world. We’ve made these articles available to the public in hopes of encouraging the spread of knowledge and wider access to research from anthropologists on important topics impacting our society. Some articles are from the past, some from the present, but all relevant to the topical issues of today. We begin with the issues of Israel/Palestine and Policing, Protest, and Campus Unrest. Other topics will be forthcoming.
