Anthropology Interview Paper

853 Words4 Pages

For my paper I interviewed John Navarra, a professor at UNCW. He has taught at UNCW almost since he graduated from there. Mr. Navarra is a Wilmingtonian himself, as am I. He is my archaeology teacher, and one of the youngest active archaeology professors I have met. Mr. Navarra teaches part time at UNCW, but also at a community college.

It is quite a bit up to luck, which I seem to not have the best of. I have looked into what makes up what I love about anthropology. I love studying people. People and the way they act and why. When most think ‘why people do certain things’ their mind steers towards psychology. I am taking a Psychology next semester, so I will have to see how I like it. I have currently been looking into medical school or nursing. With that career path, I would still get to study humans, and I would get plenty of science. I love the one on one aspect of nursing or medicine, which is what I loved about teaching. If I go into medicine, I want to go into osteology. Bones and the way they work is fascinating to me. The way a bone looks like a piece of coral, and the way they break, that’s something I want to study for the rest of my life. I personally have early onset osteoporosis due to my stomach issues, lactose intolerance, and having a history of anorexia nervosa all combine to weaken my bones. I have seen many a “bone doctor”, and I always find what they have to say interesting. As an odd side part, I set my foot last time I broke it, and I found that insanely cool. Painful, but still

  • Anthropological Synthesis Essay

    1631 Words  | 7 Pages

    Anthropologists throughout the history of the discipline have utilized race as a mode of scholarly inquiry. In early anthropology, racial and ethnic differences became the focal point of anthropological studies due to a perceived inherent or biological dissimilarity between people of separate races. In turn, these interpretations of racial difference were used to justify and explain systemic racialized institutions and practices such as Orientalism, colonialism, and imperialism. The aftereffects of anthropology’s preoccupation with race are still apparent today as many contemporary anthropological studies examine people of color living in the Global South and many in other fields rely on anthropological data to form knowledge.

Choosing my major, like any other student, was a difficult decision but I realized that although my original intentions was to get a bachelor in history I discovered a greater passion in anthropology. When I took my first antropology class I was amazed at the oppurtunities that anthropology offered me not only as an academic student but a career passion. Although I am declaring my career to be archeology I am flexible with the new possibilities that the anthroplogy major contains.
