Welcome to the CaMP Anthropology blog! This blog will feature posts, discussions, and links at the intersections of communication, media, and performance. Based at Rice University’s Anthropology Department, we welcome submissions exploring recently published books and dissertations in these emerging fields.

We welcome contributions to the CaMP Anthropology blog. We are interested in so many different aspects of the nexus between communication, media, and performance. Here are a few ideas to prompt your creative thought processes:

• Discussions of page 99 of your dissertation
• How communicative forms are produced, displayed and circulated for audiences and publics
• Interviews with authors of books you have recently read (ask them 5 questions)
• Interviews of your mentor/s in anthropology
• Reviews of: books, films, events, and performances that you have recently read/seen/participated in

In general, we would like authors to avoid using quotation marks without a page number — no scare quotes.  We also avoid Latinate abbreviations (eg. should be for example; etc. should be and so on).

For an author interview, please aim for 1,500-1,800 words total.

For a page 99 blogpost, please aim for 300-400 words (not including quotes from page 99 of your dissertation).

For more information or to contribute to the blog, please contact Prof. Ilana Gershon, igershon@rice.edu.
