Abstract

Abstract In this article, we discuss how fieldwork completed ‘at home’ in the USA presented challenges and resulted in our work being considered not ‘anthropological enough’. Centring our article around our individual projects for which primary data collection was completed prior to COVID-19, we explore a variety of issues related to methodology and structural constraints we experienced as graduate students in anthropology and now as junior scholars. Drawing on our experiences conducting research in the USA, we posit how anthropology might move forward in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and foster a more inclusive discipline. By challenging the notion of ‘anthropological enough’, we reimagine ways of conducting anthropology that are better suited for increasingly uncertain times, which call for collaborations rooted in social justice.

够不够人类学？

在本文中，我们讨论了在美国“在家”完成的田野调查如何带来挑战，并导致我们的工作被认为不够“人类学”。我们的文章围绕我们在COVID-19之前完成的主要数据收集的个人项目，探讨了我们作为人类学研究生和现在的初级学者所经历的与方法和结构限制相关的各种问题。根据我们在美国进行研究的经验，我们假设人类学如何在COVID-19大流行之后向前发展，并培养一个更具包容性的学科。通过挑战“足够人类学”的概念，我们重新设想了更适合日益不确定时代的人类学指导方式，这需要植根于社会正义的合作。

期刊介绍： Anthropology in Action (AIA) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing articles, commentaries, research reports, and book reviews in applied anthropology. Contributions reflect the use of anthropological training in policy- or practice-oriented work and foster the broader application of these approaches to practical problems. The journal provides a forum for debate and analysis for anthropologists working both inside and outside academia and aims to promote communication amongst practitioners, academics and students of anthropology in order to advance the cross-fertilisation of expertise and ideas. Recent themes and articles have included the anthropology of welfare, transferring anthropological skills to applied health research, design considerations in old-age living, museum-based anthropology education, cultural identities and British citizenship, feminism and anthropology, and international student and youth mobility.
