I am currently a junior at Haverford College and pursueing a b.a. in
social/cultural anthropology (and feminist and gender studies)....I would
ALSO be very interested in hearing about some of the top institutions for
graduate a doctoral studies in Anthropology as I may head in that
direction. I've been under the impression that only the VERY BEST go on
to become "anthropologists" or "ethnogrophers" and that the job market is
quite tiny.
Thanks,
Cynthia
