November 24, 2021

When you tell people you're doing a degree in anthropology, usually they'll nod politely, or ask 'what's that?'

Tonight I worked an extra shift at the library. Chatting to a new colleague I'd not previously met, the studying came up and when I said "anthropology," she said "oh I graduated in anthropology three years ago."

I have never been in a room with an anthropologist before! It was very exciting. After another colleague went home a few minutes early, we the anthropologists actually outnumbered the normal people, a rare and precious moment for both of us I think.

Her course (at Oxford Brookes) sounds much better than mine.
