Public Anthropology – 10 Years from Researchpages to Closer (1999/2000 – 2009/2010) 8

Public Anthropology – 10 Years from Researchpages to Closer (1999/2000 – 2009/2010)

In 1999 my website Researchpages started that later turned into my weblog Closer. It is an attempt to make anthropology matter and to improve my own research with feedback from a wider audience. Not by just giving answers to questions the public has. It is also about questioning why particular issues are addressed in the way they are addressed by particular people and what the consequences of that are. How are particular issues and the way they are debated related to (changing) historical and cultural contexts. In my opinion this is the focus of this blog and has informed the change from my website Researchpages to Closer. It is my humble attempt to contribute to public anthropology and to find out how to make anthropology public.
