Sherylyn Briller and Amy Goldmacher's Designing an Anthropology Career: Professional Development Exercises, Second Edition provides undergraduates, graduate students and career changers with the tools they need to identify their professional goals and follow through on them. Part I establishes a framework for how to design -- or update -- a career in anthropology or related fields. The authors discuss how social science is needed now more than ever and offer ideas for how to find employment in many different realms. Part II contains a series of professional development exercises to help workbook users articulate their personal and professional histories, special abilities and career goals. Each exercise includes an example from an anthropology student or professional anthropologist as a model for completion. Doing these customizable exercises will help people turn their love of anthropology and existing knowledge and skills into meaningful and lasting careers.
Sherylyn H. Briller is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology and a Faculty Associate in the Center on Aging and the Life Course at Purdue University. She is an applied cultural/medical anthropologist specializing in aging, disability and life course issues. Dr. Briller is highly interested in the career development of anthropologists, which led to this book. Her individual and collaborative scholarship resulted in a four volume book series on dementia care settings, an interdisciplinary book about end-of-life issues, one design monograph, two guest-edited special issues, 10 book chapters, 24 peer-reviewed articles, and a community-engaged medical anthropology museum exhibit. At the broadest level, her anthropological scholarship and practice aim to create a better, more inclusive world that supports people in achieving and maintaining social personhood across the life course and a range of disability and illness experiences. Dr. Briller is the President and a Fellow of the Society for Applied Anthropology. She is a former President of the Association for Anthropology & Gerontology Education (AAGE). Dr. Briller holds a B.A. in Anthropology from Carleton College, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Anthropology from Case Western Reserve University.

Table of Contents: Part I - Desigining An Anthropology Career Chapter 1 Introduction Updated discussion of 21st century world of work, roles for liberal arts graduates and the power of an anthropology degreeNew section about practitioners/employment in anthropological practiceUpdated personal story boxes of the authors based on career changes since the first editionUpdated content based on what students have been asking for (e.g., how to become an anthropological practitioner, how to ensure that students can set up to work on social issues about which they care most) Chapter 2 Positioning Yourself in the Discipline Tone adjusted to accommodate undergraduates and graduate level students and for professionals who may be looking to pivot careersUpdated discussion of the state of anthropology education; applied/practice, academic spectrum; changes to tenure and promotion standards in academia to reflect growing influence of applied scholarship, pedagogy and engagement Updated discussion of how applied/practicing anthropology has grown and evolved - and the doors that have been opened over timeUpdated discussion of the life course approach to career planning Chapter 3 How to Use this Book Effectively Updated discussion of technologies and storage practices and feedback mechanisms Part II - Professional Development Exercises All exercises will be enhanced and updated to include more specific direction with the prompts, tips for completion, applicability to real-life situations, new examples and action plans.Two exercises (Representing Your Body of Work: Portfolio Exercise and Representing Yourself in Other Fields: Second Domain Exercise) have been renamed "Term Projects" because they require more effort over a longer time period and are well-suited for midterm and/or final projects in a course. As such, they will be substantially reworked and reformatted to reflect how students should approach and work on these larger activities. Emphasis will be placed on other kinds of deliverables - e.g., a portfolio you can share with potential employers or use for representing yourself on the Internet. For the Second Domain exercise, we have found that one of the best outcomes is that this project causes students to reach out in a series of informational interviews to individuals they would like to add to their professional network. This step has resulted in numerous positive developments including growing these networks and sometimes even leading to job opportunities. We want to maximize the value of these larger exercises in some of these key ways.
