About Us

AnthroHub’s mission is to facilitate factual conversations on topics in anthropology in an engaging way in order to provide a reliable source of information about culturally and temporally salient topics.

“Hub” evokes ideas of a central area with spokes or branches coming off, and that’s just what we envision with this website.  It’s a centralized location where you will find branches to podcasts, blogs, news articles, science/education resources, and a student showcase.
