Hi, my name is Rebecca and I welcome you to The City Anthropologist - a space for me to share my thoughts and research to open discussions and inspire new perspectives. 

​

The pivotal theme that runs throughout this site is Social Anthropology. I am fascinated in people and understanding the hows and whys of human activity through a lens of culture. This section contains a collection of essays discussing prominent social and global issues. The section ends with an investigative piece that explores a skateboarding community in Edinburgh who come head-on with an institution that does not accept them.

​

Finally, the blog is my more personal writing and is also way of looking at the world through people. We live our lives both with and through a variety of different people and this is how I believe our perspectives are shaped.

​

At the end of each piece and blog post there is also a space where you can comment! Every opinion and perspective is valued, so I'd love to hear some of your thoughts on anything I've written.
