Through a series of case studies by leading anthropologists, Cool Anthropology highlights the many different approaches that scholars have used to engage the public with their research. Editors Kristina Baines and Victoria Costa showcase efforts to make meaningful connections with communities outside the walls of academia, moving anthropological thinking beyond the discipline. Through their focus on collaborative efforts, contributors push against the exclusivity of "knowledge production" to ask how engaging communities as both producers and consumers of academic research helps to promote anthropology better and do anthropology better.
Kristina Baines is an associate professor of anthropology at CUNY Guttman Community College, affiliated faculty at CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy, and the founder and director of anthropology at Cool Anthropology.
Victoria Costa is a creative technologist and community organizer, and the founder and director of cool at Cool Anthropology.
