 
For me anthropology is
the study of humanity, method, as well
as
a lot of theory and theorizing about
what that means, what it means to
live with other people and how that
unfolds
I consider anthropology to be one of the
most
important things in the world.
It is always capable of giving us forms
of otherness, forms of different ways of living
that we can use to home our own culture.
It's designed to give people an idea, who
don't have a background in anthropology,
what is anthropology?
The fact is that all human beings are in
some sense
the same. We're all members of the same
species, we have millions of
years of evolution that has made us what we are today.
We follow anthropologists from the University of Queensland into the field
and actually document fieldwork.
How do anthropologists do what they do? Because so much of the fieldwork 
experience is about embodied experience, living there, being there, smelling it, doing it.
You can step out of that world that
you're in that seems like your whole
universe
and be somewhere completely
different.
An ability to make the strange familiar and the familiar strange, right, that's the classic 
what anthropologists do. We talk to the
people one on one
and we collect stories about what it's
actually like.
We can discuss difference in the world
in a way that is substantive
A view from the ground up instead of a view from the top down
Anthropology is not
innocent.
Anthropology...
Anthropology...
I think without it
we're in more trouble than we think we are. 
it's all around us all the time. Anthropology as the study
of
humanity in all its variety and
difference
is really the study about others to
reflect upon ourselves.
That's anthropology.
