Jumping the Academic Gun

I've being doing my research for my chosen field of Economic Anthropology. I emailed a few professors that came up on google, which led me to Dr. Chris Gregory at Australia National University, and he recommended I get in contact with Stephen Gudeman at University of Minnesota.

What have I learned thus far?

1. It's an infant field. Very few schools have a program and very few professors specialize in it.
2. As such, I would probably be doing a lot of inter-disciplinary academia. I've already put a request for a book from the guy from ANU. And I'm about to leave for school and pick up a few books from Dr, Gudeman at UMN. Also, I'm reading some entries from a blog called "This Blog Sits at the Intersection of Anthropology and Economics." The author is a very fascinating Ph D of Anthro and a man interested in Ethnography and Economics. He shows much interest in my "dismal science" and shows a few good understanding of the material. But, his anthro bleeds through. I hope to emulate some of his integration, but truly make my Econ side come out.
   
3. It's an anthro field. So far, it's been all schools of Anthro that offer the programs. If i want to do things my way, I would really have to do things from the ground up. And truly, that's fine with me. It seems like a wonderful thing to spend my life doing.
   
4. I love academics. Fuck, I love studying for the sake of studying. It's a thrill doing all my research, even at this stage.
