Popular Anthropology is a free online magazine dedicated to fostering a much-needed dialogue between anthropologists and the general public. Anthropologists spend years conducting research and writing important articles that rarely reach the public. This magazine's objective is to construct a bridge between scientists and the public to inform, educate, and ultimately share that vast amount of knowledge in a manner that is both considerate and informative.
Each issue contains Features submitted by social scientists working in the subfields of Archaeology, Biological Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, and Linguistic Anthropology. In addition, articles from other social scientists and interdisciplinary fields are also presented. Each issue features several Departments written by social scientists, including Social Science across the Globe, Primate News, and Global Education. The first issue is scheduled to be published in March 2010.
Providing this magazine to people throughout the world free of charge is only one of our goals. We also plan to provide this publication in different languages. Currently, Popular Anthropology is available in English. However, dedicated members of our Editorial Board & Staff are in the process of assembling a team of volunteer translators at the Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal who will be able to provide subscribers with a Portuguese language edition of the magazine. We hope to publish the Portuguese edition concurrently, or shortly after, the publication of our English edition. The Portuguese language edition will enable approximately 220 million people throughout the world (including, but not limited to, citizens of Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique, Angola, East Timor, and Cape Verde) to access articles written by anthropologists and other social scientists. |
