The post-graduation job search is slower than expected. Aspiring anthropologists at this point continue their academics, and here I am dabbling in the free market instead. Two of the skills I am most proud of gaining are my ability to do social research and my ability to write.
Now I ask myself, where in the market are writers and researchers most valued? I’ve come to the conclusion that becoming a market researcher is the path. The only thing is, I am obsessed with anthropology, so I will be an ethnographic market researcher. That way I get to marry the academic with the entrepreneurial. I need leverage, though. That’s why I am writing on Substack.
Expect content oriented to the things I’m interested in. That’s how I find the discipline to continue posting on this medium (the last shoutout to my Medium, because again, Substack is the new main). I will eventually post content that is more audience-oriented once I feel a community building. But yes, for now, my publication😎 will cover mad-insightful-and-always-correct takes on the culture (news, entertainment, basketball, music). It will also feature social research findings in business and culture. Lastly, y’all will be blessed with the art of ethnography through personal narratives. You can tell I’m really trying to hold onto some anthropological integrity here, right? Cool.
By regularly providing content, it allows to me practice my passions. I want to get good at this, so critique me along the way, and share any additional takes.
awesome! looking forward to your insights
