Anthropology

Editor in Chief | Area Editors | Articles and Contributors

As a discipline which examines humankind, from its beginnings millions of years ago to the present day, anthropology is a constantly changing and expanding discipline. Anthropology is typically divided into four subfields: social and cultural anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology, and biological anthropology. Each field is further divided into its own subfields. These divisions are not without controversy, sometimes represented by the formation of completely separate academic departments on certain campuses, but it is important to highlight that anthropology represents one of the few disciplines where the humanities, sciences, and social sciences converge.

Oxford Bibliographies in Anthropology is an entirely new and unique type of reference tool that has been specially created to meet a great need among today’s students, scholars, and professionals. It offers more than other bibliography initiatives on- and offline by providing expert commentary to help students and scholars find, negotiate, and assess the large amount of information readily available to them. It facilitates research in a way that other guides cannot by providing direct links to online library catalogs and other online resources. Organizing the resource around discrete subject entries will allow for quick and easy navigation that users expect when working on screen.

 

Editor in Chief

Lee D. Baker is Professor of Cultural Anthropology and African & African American Studies at Duke University. He received his B.S. from Portland State University and his doctorate in anthropology from Temple University. He has been a resident fellow at Harvard’s W.E.B. Du Bois Institute, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, Johns Hopkins’s Institute for Global Studies, The University of Ghana-Legon, the American Philosophical Society, and the National Humanities Center. His books include From Savage to Negro: Anthropology and the Construction of Race, 1896-1954 (1998), Life in America: Identity and Everyday Experience (2003), and Anthropology and the Racial Politics of Culture (2010). Although he focuses on the history of anthropology, he has published numerous articles on a wide range of subjects from socio-linguistics to race and democracy. Baker also received the Richard K. Lublin Distinguished Teaching Award and the American Anthropological Association’s award for Distinguished Achievement in the Critical Study of North America. From 2008-2016, he served as Duke’s Dean of Academic Affairs.
