Great Job on this film! I am a graduate anthropology student and received my undergraduate anthropology education at M.I.T. I've had classes with all the professors in this film, and they did a great job teaching me why anthropology (as a discipline) and being an anthropologist are important. I will recommend this film to other graduate students trying to T.A. undergraduate anthropology courses.

Very well done and very useful. Having worked in a cheese factory and having a cheesemaker father, I was delighted with that segment. My only issue is that I would have preferred a title of "Doing Cultural Anthropology" instead of "Doing Anthropology." As with the video and title leave out the other subfields.

I really loved this video, in part because I'm a student of anthropology in Colombia, South America ( I make the clarification 'cause there are people who don't know where my country is, believe it or not), but studying this wasn't my first choice I started studying something really different, but now that I'm starting to discover more and more about this career I'm falling more and more in love, cause it has so much to offer to me as a person, and it still amaze me that you could dedicate your life, your professional and personal life, to something as great as this…. A line that I really liked it's when a girl (the one making the study on the people who comes from Haiti) says that she loves to work with people and the fact that they feel comfortable enough to share their life, their thoughts… To end my comment I'd have to say that I didn't know that you could study Anthropology at MIT, since I always have seen it as a Science School, for science I mean engineering and natural sciences, but thanks to this video MIT has come again to my radar of colleges where I'd love to study (I did 5 semesters in a dual program between Industrial engineering and Informatics engineering (IT), I think would be the English equivalents of my ex-careers)

I want to thank you for this useful video. I have been working for several years on a Distance Learning Cultural Anthropology course. This will be featured viewing on my (chronologically) first Discussion Board topic in the course "Doing Anthropology". I like the way the video provides a springboard for discussions of many different aspects of the fieldwork experience for cultural anthropologists. Again, thank you.

I definitely appreciate the view into anthropological fieldwork. However, one major outstanding question is “why?” Why are these people studying these particular areas? What is the goal? What will they do with the research or research insights? What is the process that the average anthropologist goes through before and after the fieldwork? I’d love a deeper look into those questions. Thanks!

thanks for this video.I’m about to start doctoral research on the Internet and constantly bother myself with the idea that because I’m not able to discuss or approach the networks I want to study in terms of neatly bounded ‘fields’ I’m not doing ‘proper anthropology’.
It’s always great to come across writers who critique these disciplinary structures, and point out the ways in which they can become unhelpful. I read your ‘another revolution missed’ article some time ago and found it tremendously useful. I’ve only just come across this site but you’ve certainly gained another reader here!Dan, anunturi.ro
