Methods Going Global: A New International Cultural Anthropology Methods Program (CAMP) and Community of Practice

The Cultural Anthropology Methods Program (CAMP) is realizing a goal that anthropologists have shared since Boas—to create a global anthropology with truly international exchanges of research practices. We are now launching CAMP-International, a Community of Practice for methods with 700+ global members. We begin by launching our 15 methods modules and 1 teaching module curriculum on Youtube, with 75+ lectures viewable in English and subtitled in Spanish, French, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Swahili, Bangla, and Guarani—and inviting more lectures from our global partners. We are launching a listserv (METHODS@asu.edu) where anthropologists can ask for advice on any methods problem. In the years to come, we hope that CAMP-International will nurture collaborations that facilitate global advances in methods for the conduct of and the teaching of anthropological research.
