Challenges of Anthropology
Well, I think that anthropology is currently facing many challenges, in almost all areas of their day. In this university, anthropology has many shortcomings in Technology, because there is a little technology implementation, but these issues are really important in the areas like archeology and physical anthropology, where the technology can be very helpful in the discovery and greatly facilitates the work. In Social Anthropology, is important to have more advanced computer programs to process and analyze information, qualitative data. In therms of diffusion and implementation of more advanced computational technologies our university is long overdue, and the students are poorly prepared to use it.
About the Social Matters, I think that is maybe one of the biggest challenges, because the main objective of the anthropologists is to interfere in social matters, that is to say be able to generate knowledge useful to society, and I think that today, this aspect in the Chilean anthropology is very puny, because the government does not consider the importance of the social scientist. I think that is very important that there a direct relationship between the social reality and the work of the anthropologist and generally with the anthropological endeavor.
In the education aspect, I think that is important that the discipline can be more open and accessible to all people. I think that is important to generate more diffusion about the topics of the social sciences, and specifically about the anthropology, especially in reference to the contributions that anthropology can make. In this sense, would be interesting massify the anthropological knowledge. In other hand, I think that the anthropological training should be more strongly related to the practice field. This should be a constant feedback. About the career of anthropology, I think that the students should be more involved with all the universities where is the career and with the neighboring countries. It´s important to have a more thorough knowledge about the other types of anthropology, the development of the anthropology in other places, in other ways, and thus to achieve a much more critical view.
