I don’t see anthropology on the list of banned keywords - which is probably bad news.

sociocultural is on the list
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Aucun n'ayant la moindre idée des réalités
Quelle honte !
