Intro

What is Anthropology?

  • In a basic sense, Anthropology is the study of humanity itself, of what makes us human. It further focuses on a wide variety of aspects like human behavior, culture, society and biology, in the present but also across the whole of human history. In doing so, Anthropology also takes a lot of its inspiration from other social science disciplines.

Why Anthropology?

  • By studying the way humans interact with one-another in the cultural and societal spaces they are apart of, throughout history and in the present, the goal is to come up with explanations and understandings for why certain human behavior exists. At the same time the study is able to celebrate the diversity we all share as the human race, by showcasing humanity in all its beauty and pain over it’s entire history

Article summary with Between horror and boredom: fairy tales and moral education by Lewin - 2020 - Exclusive

This article explores the complex role of fairy tales in moral education. Lewin argues that while fairy tales often contain elements of horror and violence, these elements can be crucial for engaging children and prompting moral reflection. He proposes a distinction between problematic reductionism, where the complexities of fairy tales are sanitized, and pedagogical reduction, which simplifies stories for educational purposes without sacrificing their core themes.

Introduction

Lewin (2020) opens the discussion by acknowledging the enduring presence of fairy tales in childhood education and their perceived role in moral development. However, he raises a critical point: fairy tales often contain elements that can be unsettling for children, such as violence and horror. Traditional

Article summary with The ethnic composition of the neighbourhood and ethnic minorities’ social contacts: Three unresolved issues by Vervoort a.o. - 2011 - Exclusive

Introduction

Vervoort, Flap, and Dagevos (2011) tackle the relationship between the ethnic composition of neighbourhoods and social contact patterns among ethnic minorities. They argue that existing research overlooks three key "unresolved issues": accounting for spatial context, considering different types of social contacts, and understanding the role of individual preferences.

Methodology

The study draws on the Netherlands Life Course Panel, a large-scale longitudinal survey. They employ regression analysis to examine how neighbourhood ethnic composition relates to various types of social contacts (family, friends, neighbours) reported by ethnic minority individuals.

Results

  • Neighbourhood effects vary across contexts: While living in ethnically diverse neighbourhoods increases contact with co-ethnics, this effect weakens in larger cities and for more highly educated individuals.
  • Contact types matter: Neighbourhood diversity enhances co-ethnic friendships but not family ties or contact with native neighbours.
  • Individual preferences play a role: Individuals with stronger co-ethnic preferences are more likely to seek
