Dr. Sherylyn Briller (PhD, 2000, Case Western Reserve University) is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Purdue University and a Faculty Associate in the Center on Aging and the Life Course. She is an applied cultural/medical anthropologist specializing in aging and life course issues. Briller has a long-standing interest in anthropologists' education and career development; she co-authored a well-known textbook Designing an Anthropology Career: Professional Development Exercises. After working as a practitioner, Briller became an applied researcher working on old age support in the United States and Mongolia. Briller's individual and collaborative scholarship resulted in a four volume book series on dementia care settings, an interdisciplinary book about end-of-life issues, one design monograph, two guest-edited special issues, 10 book chapters, 21 peer-reviewed articles, and a community-engaged medical anthropology museum exhibit. Her work is used by policymakers, academics, healthcare professionals, patients, families and others. At the broadest level, her anthropological scholarship and practice aim to create a better, more inclusive world that supports people in achieving and maintaining social personhood across the life course and a range of disability and illness experiences. Briller is an accomplished teacher and mentor. She won a Presidential Award for Teaching, the university's highest teaching honor. Briller is a Fellow of the Society for Applied Anthropology and the Co-Chair of the Consortium of Applied and Practicing Anthropology Programs (COPAA). She is a former President of the Association for Anthropology & Gerontology Education (AAGE) and served on the SfAA's Nominations and Elections Committee. Briller is President-Elect of the Society for Applied Anthropology.
Table of Contents:
Part I - Desigining An Anthropology Career
Chapter 1 Introduction
* Updated discussion of 21st century world of work, roles for liberal
arts graduates and the power of an anthropology degree
* New section about practitioners/employment in anthropological
practice
* Updated personal story boxes of the authors based on career changes
since the first edition
* Updated content based on what students have been asking for (e.g.,
how to become an anthropological practitioner, how to ensure that
students can set up to work on social issues about which they care
most)
Chapter 2 Positioning Yourself in the Discipline
* Tone adjusted to accommodate undergraduates and graduate level
students and for professionals who may be looking to pivot careers
* Updated discussion of the state of anthropology education;
applied/practice, academic spectrum; changes to tenure and promotion
standards in academia to reflect growing influence of applied
scholarship, pedagogy and engagement
* Updated discussion of how applied/practicing anthropology has grown
and evolved - and the doors that have been opened over time
* Updated discussion of the life course approach to career planning
Chapter 3 How to Use this Book Effectively
* Updated discussion of technologies and storage practices and feedback
mechanisms
Part II - Professional Development Exercises
* All exercises will be enhanced and updated to include more specific
direction with the prompts, tips for completion, applicability to
real-life situations, new examples and action plans.
* Two exercises (Representing Your Body of Work: Portfolio Exercise and
Representing Yourself in Other Fields: Second Domain Exercise) have
been renamed "Term Projects" because they require more effort over a
longer time period and are well-suited for midterm and/or final
projects in a course. As such, they will be substantially reworked
and reformatted to reflect how students should approach and work on
these larger activities. Emphasis will be placed on other kinds of
deliverables - e.g., a portfolio you can share with potential
employers or use for representing yourself on the Internet. For the
Second Domain exercise, we have found that one of the best outcomes
is that this project causes students to reach out in a series of
informational interviews to individuals they would like to add to
their professional network. This step has resulted in numerous
positive developments including growing these networks and sometimes
even leading to job opportunities. We want to maximize the value of
these larger exercises in some of these key ways.
