I’ve decided to set up this blog for the Anthropology Club at LACC for a couple of reasons: first, the weeks remaining in the semester are too few for us to be able to cover everything that we’re going to want to discuss if we only meet once a week, second is to (hopefully) create a lasting (past this semester) online community that we’re all able to contribute to and feel a part of and lastly, to provide a way for others to be a part of our club- even if they’re not able to come to the meetings. I know that we’re all busy with school and work and families and social lives, but my hope is that we will all be able to find a little bit of time (even if it’s just once a week- or once a month!) to post something here that we find fascinating or to comment on something that someone wanted to share.

We all will have the ability to submit a post, or a link or even just a picture and I hope that you guys will get as excited about the possibilities here as I am. I know that some of you may not be familiar with WordPress, but I’m sure that you’ll find it easy to use. If you’re interested, please send me an e-mail and I’ll set up a user for you! And if you’re having any trouble getting used to the system just send me an e-mail and I’ll help you out as much as I can.

I’m really excited about this semester and what our club is capable of achieving. So, welcome to the LACC Anthropology Club for Spring 2008!
