> Dear Fellow Anthropologist,

> We are two postgraduate anthropology students at the University of
> Edinburgh, writing to you in the hope that you may wish to
> contribute to our project.
>
> Our concern about the state of higher education has spurred us into
> thinking about career opportunities for anthropologists outside of
> the academy. In order to help publicise the work that
> anthropologists and ethnographers do, we have set up a blog: http://whatanthropologistsdo.co.uk/
>
> What Anthropologists Do will feature profiles of anthropologists,
> with descriptions of their jobs and the contribution that they make
> to their organisation.
>
> This blog is primarily aimed at employers and sponsors unfamiliar
> with the discipline. We hope that it will demonstrate the value of
> anthropological expertise to potential employers, and become a
> useful resource for those making funding applications to sponsors
> unfamiliar with the work of anthropologists. We also hope that it
> will encourage new students to enter the discipline.
>
> Listed below are some questions. We would be most delighted if you
> should answer them and allow us to use the text on our blog. Answers
> of up to 150 words for each question are sufficient. If we make any
> editorial changes, we will send the updated version back to you for
> final approval. We also encourage you to include a picture of
> yourself, your workplace or any other image relevant to the work
> that you do.
>
> We will also be featuring articles and project reports from
> anthropologists in the workplace. If you would like to contribute
> further, please feel free to contact us at any time.
>
> Additionally, if you know of any friends or colleagues who might be
> interested in contributing to this project, please feel free to
> forward this email to them.

> Many thanks and best wishes,
