Anthropology Blogs 2016 (Archive)
For 2016 I revisited the list of Anthropology Blogs from four previous years:
- Anthro Blogging 2015 may have in retrospect been the high-point for independent anthropology blogs.
- Anthro Archive Blogs 2014 a time when anthropology blogs wrestled with critical social issues.
- Archive Blogs in Anthropology 2013 when anthropology blogs helped create the This is Anthropology initiative.
- Anthropology 2012, the launch year for my project tracking anthropology blogs.
A question posed at the beginning of 2016: Would the debut of SAPIENS have its intended effect “to transform how the public understands anthropology”? Or is it “just one more voice in an already crowded online space” (Savage Minds)? From my perspective, the answer was that the number of independent anthropology blogs indeed consolidated by 2018. More anthropology bloggers were either writing for projects like Sapiens or using well-established platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Medium, Twitter) to convey their message. In retrospect, 2015-2016 may have been the highpoint for independent anthropology blogs.

How to be an Anthropologist
I specialize in the anthropology of web development. But, it took me a while to get here. I started in archaeology, switched to sociocultural anthropology, built a career in web development, and then returned to anthropology as a PhD student with a set of ethnographic questions about the nature of the Internet, the people that make it, and the discourse surrounding the way we talk about it. Being an anthropologist today is not what you might expect. Building on a legacy of reflection and critical thought, we thrive in the complex and the particular. Web development, as a set of technologies, an expertise, and an industry, is grappling with its complexity from user behavior to design’s social implications to coding practice. As an anthropologist, I aim to align myself with web developers to flesh out our common interests and anxieties to enrich both anthropological and technical knowledge.
