Anthropology and Technology Research Group

The Research Group is currently organized as a reading and discussion group.

We meet weekly to discuss readings on anthropology and technology. Our focus is around cyberspace, data, virtual worlds, and social media as well as computing, information and biological technologies. The group also works to assist members with issues around IRB approval for internet, virtual world and technology related research projects, as well as other challenges arising from members research.

For the spring 2013 semester we are meeting Monday evenings, 18:00 (6 pm) at Hunter College for 1 to 1.5 hours. Reading lists and materials are shared on our blog and by email on or before Wednesday of the week prior. Please contact @omanreagan if you are interested in joining or attending a meeting. Interdisciplinary social scientists, humanities scholars and others with interests in technology are welcome.

The group was founded by three graduate students at Hunter College who are doing ethnographic fieldwork and writing cultural anthropology theses on issues of technology.

    Tell your Teaching Story and win a $50 gift card.
    Click on this link (www.tinyurl.com/GSTATeacherSurvey) and contribute your experience to the story building around the nation. College teaching is being pushed more and more onto graduate students!
    Adjuncts and graduate students are being asked to take on larger and larger percentages of college teaching assignments, and we barely know anything at all about what that is like for them as they learn to teach across the nation! At some CUNY institutions, up to 80% of the courses are taught by adjuncts and graduate students!
    So please consider helping out as we try to do good works for graduate students! Simply click the link and participate in the survey. There is a raffle for $50 gift cards coming up!
    Tell us about your experiences as a teacher!
    If you can think of any other groups that would be interested in participating, please let me know or feel free to forward it to them!

    This survey welcomes <strong>ALL DISCIPLINES</strong> as participants!
