Thanks for this post. I, for one, would be happy to learn about developments
in these areas.
I would be especially interested to hear from anthropology departments that
are doing well placing students in jobs. My question: how do you do it?
Beyond that, I'd be curious to know: what kinds of jobs, at what levels of
pay?
I understand that successful programs might not rush to tell eveyone the
secrets of their success. But there's no harm in asking.
Braver still might be departments that are having a miserable time of it.
Would they share with us what it is they think is going wrong?
