Description
Statement by professor Don Proulx in regards to the proposal for a Phd program in the Anthropology Department at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Outlines a plan of required coursework for graduate students that ensures a good understanding of the field in general, while also allowing students to pick specialties. He proposes that the masters program as the time where students focus on their general understanding of the four fields of anthropology, with the PhD program requiring candidates to choose three areas of concentration - one theoretical and the others geographical. In addition to these points, he advocates for the coursework at the PhD level being a combination of both reading courses and seminars, as to not hinder the faculty and students.
