Media guidebook for
anthropologists and social scientists, to be published by Left
Coast Press (Mitch Allen, publisher), towards
the end of 2010
This
media guide will contain best practices, tips, and contributions
from both science media and anthropologists, which will help
bridge the gap between the two groups, and smooth communications. I've
been speaking and writing about communicating anthropology
to the public for a number of years, and have given numerous
sessions and workshops at AAA, SfAA and other science meetings.
I've held roundtables for science writers and anthropologists,
and am a member of the National Association of Science Writers
and AAA member.
