We seek funding to develop the materials, skill building exercises, and interactivity of our newly designed fieldwork workshops as on online module. Transferring some of our expertise to online media will help incorporate anthropological modes of analyzing culture and knowledge about diverse cultures more integrally into other subjects rather than remain isolated within Anthropology classes. Thus, cultural analyses can be incorporated into students’ work, for example, in particular occupations and kinds of work (e.g. engineering, science) or organizations (corporations, cities, laboratories). We plan to use and contribute to the learning and resources produced through the MITx project, and collaborate with other programs and projects around the Institute where possible.
