Postgraduate studies

credit: Future Learn As i’ve stated before on these entries, the future and especially my labour future it’s a very scary topic for me. At the moment I’m studying physical anthropology but I also want to get a degree in sociocultural anthropology on this university, that’s a plan that I have but I’m not entirely sure about it. In the “my future post” I said that I wanted to work with alive populations instead of just the osteology part of my discipline, which is the most classic area, especially for the Universidad de Chile graduates. One of the things that really call my attention is medical anthropology and especially the debate around obstetrical violence, which is a field that’s connecting both social and biological anthropology. Having said that, Brunel University London offers a postgrad course of Medical anthropology in the department of Social Sciences, Media and Communications, there is also the same offer in SOAS University of London, which is a university that s...

When I was in high school I used to watch a lot of tv shows and movies because I had the time for it, it relaxed me a lot and It was time for myself, but not anymore. Since I’m a college student doing non-school related stuff made me feel guilty so I just stopped watching stuff that I really liked :( but last year i found Mr. Robot, and it became my favorite show, now it's back and I will make time to watch it!!!! Difficult courses can wait!!!! Last year i was OBSESSED with it! And even if I didn’t like the second season as much as the first, I was very sad when I found out that the premiere of the third season was delayed, and now it has been more than a year since the last season finale which sucks, but at least it is back already! I couldn’t watch the premiere last night because I was with some friends but knowing that I can watch it when I get home and during the weekend makes me very happy!  I recommend the show to anyone who reads this, it can get kinda dark and a bit har...

My future job

Hello, This is a very difficult topic for me, especially this year since I’ve been questioning what good can we do in the world and if I can really help other people through my future job, which is what really matters to me at the end of the day. Right now i’m majoring in Physical Anthropology but I’m also interested in taking a double major in social anthropology. I also like topics related with Education (my dad’s influence). Today I went to SOCHIAB’s  (Bioanthropological Chilean society) annual meeting, I saw a few expositions and listened to professionals talk about the work and research they are doing in the differents fields that physical anthropology can take part of. I especially enjoyed one of the presentations that talked about the “obstetric dilemma” and how other disciplines can make “fake assumptions” based on the discoveries that the paleoanthropology researchers have made in the past, but not necessarily being accurate with their use of this information. In Me...
