Other Interesting Sites

We've drawn up a small list of some sites on the web that we think are especially useful to sociology and anthropology students. They aren't listed in any particular order, but if you browse through them we're sure you'll find something of interest. We'll update this list every once in a while, so come back to see what's new. Happy surfing!

American Sociological Association

This is the homepage of the largest professional sociological association in the world. In addition to information about its services and membership, the ASA posts employment opportunities, career information, and much more. You ought to take a look here to see what sociology professors think about when left to their own devices.

International Sociological Association

Although this organization has "international" in its title, it is probably less well known than the ASA. Don't let that fool you. There are some terrific links on this page, and the sort of sociology that is represented here is somewhat different from what you might expect. Take a look here and then look back at the ASA page. You'll see what we mean.

 

 

Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction

Yet another professional association, but one with a really different take on what it is that sociologists do (and should do). The SSSI is one of the older "area organizations" in North America, and one that has always pushed the boundaries of what is considered "respectable" social science. Take a look, but only if you have a note from your mother!

Anthropology Web Sites

There are so many anthropological materials on the internet that it is difficult to keep track of them. This collection of sites, maintained by the University of California, Santa Barbara, is a really good place to start. You can spend a lifetime here.

Skullduggery

Although we aren't really into promoting commercial sites, we're making an exception for this one. Skullduggery has a wonderful collection of fossil casts and other materials of interest to physical anthropologists and archaeologists. One of their illustrations so fascinated us that we incorporated it into these pages. See if you can find it.

Public Domain Images

There are any number of ways to describe this site--cartoons, photographs, and icons abound. It does have some free downloadable pictures of primates and other images of anthropological interest. We've used some of them here, and this is our way of saying thanks.

Primate Resources on the Web

If you want to monkey around on the web, this is a good place to start exploring. This homepage is maintained by the University of Wisconsin Primate Research Center and it has navigable links to organizations of primatologists, primatological data, and viewable images of monkeys and apes.

 

 

Anthropology in the News

See how anthropologists make news. You'll be surprised that there are so many anthropological tibits that make headlines around the world. This site is maintained by Texas A&M University (Go Aggies!).
