Emily Bryant's research combines material culture studies & ethnography. The picture is an #Egyptian amulet with the backdrop of the Khan el-Khalili bazaar, Cairo. Using anthropological methods, she's helping provide contextual background for the IUMAA collection. #AnthroDay

Various attempts have been made to get #anthropology into K-12. The Anthro. Curriculum Study Project at @UChicago was one of them. Our museum educator, Sarah, is studying how this fits into curriculum history. #AnthropologyDay #AnthroDay

Research fellow, Christina Friberg: "Anthropology is PEOPLE. From a v young age I've been fascinated by people's walk/talk/dress/eat/interaction. I was thrilled to discover an entire discipline devoted to the study of people, and here I am today doing just that." (4/) #AnthroDay

Director of the former @GlennBlackLab, April Sievert, responded: "Anthropology is discovering people in what they left behind. As an archaeologist I love to muse about how objects reflect daily life." (3/) #AnthroDay #AnthropologyDay

Our archaeology curator, Melody Pope, responded: "Anthropology is about interpersonal and intercultural understandings." (2/) #AnthroDay #AnthropologyDay

When asked to complete the question "Anthropology is..." here's how some of our staff answered: (1/) #AnthroDay #AnthropologyDay

It's #AnthropologyDay! We'll be taking a personal look (through our staff) at what anthropology means to us and how we use it on our jobs at IUMAA. Be sure to follow the #AnthroDay for more amazing resources!
