For this last discussion board, you willuse the readings by Fleuriet, Walley, and Nuñez to support yourresponses.

You may also cite information from Dr. Fleuriet’s classpresentation. 

Your posting must demonstrate your comprehension of thereading materials. 

Short, inadequately developed posts and/or posts thatare vague without any meaningful reference to the readings will bepenalized. 

Your post should be thoughtful and intelligent. 

You may labelthe sections in accordance with the prompts below. 

I recommend that you type your responses in Word (or whatever you use) and then cut and paste your essay into the DB template.

1) In the first section, provide anoverview of the field-based research projects done by each of the threeanthropologists. 

What is the focus of each project–what are they tryingto show or argue with their research–and what research methods didthey use?

2) All three anthropologists—Fleuriet,Walley and Nuñez–conducted research in or near their home communitiesin the U.S. Based on these materials, what are two research benefits ofbeing an “insider,” of conducting anthropological research “at home” (orclose to it)? 

What are two research drawbacks of being an insider?Explain fully your response.

3) Anthropologists are often interestedin understanding and shedding light on ways of living and locations thatare ignored, invisible, or stigmatized by the wider society.

Whatdid you learn about people’s lives in the three regions where theyconducted research?

How did the research of these three anthropologistshelp to broaden your view of these places and the people living there?

You response should include all three locations.
