anthropologist is experience in the field. However, this brings up
another issue. Does being an "anthropologist" necessarily require one
to have a formal anthropology education (even at the UG level)?
If someone were to study a particular culture using "good
research methods", and produce ethnographic texts, why should they not
be considered anthropologists? I believe they should.
