Anthropology students in CUHK are always anxious and excited about their final papers for some courses–known as the research papers–and the little adventure the assignments brought to them. Writing research papers is surely a both bitter and sweet memory to all of our Anthropology people. What do research papers cover? What is the experience of doing small-scale fieldwork like? How do people see this way of assessment? Let’s explore everything about research papers in this episode!

 (This episode is conducted in Cantonese.)

About the Series: Hi, anthro speaking. Welcome everyone to “Anthropology Says”, I am Linus, host of this podcast series. Anthropologists spend a lot of time chatting with our interlocutors, participating in their routines, and building a relationship deeper than a typical interviewer-interviewee one. “Chatting” in this sense can teach us things beyond our expectation. Through interactions in a casual setting, this series will focus on the less theoretical side of the anthropology life and showcase the ideas and stories of those of us in anthropology. To me, anthropology is full of sentiments and fun, which I hope to share in these episodes. Thank you for listening 🙂
