Ruth Benedict | Anthropologist
Helped lay the foundation of modern anthropology. Studied under Boas; Margaret Mead was her student.
Until her 1931 divorce she was unable to draw a salary because a married woman wasn't considered in need of one. Born #OTD in 1887. #WomenInSTEM

The term ‘material culture’ was first used in 1843 and lay central to archaeological method. It was linked to the rise of cultural anthropology and comparative cultural analysis. The earliest methods decontextualised objects (think systemised display of artefacts in Museums).

In Syrien wird ein Diktatur gestürzt. Und in Deutschland macht sich bei einigen Freude breit: Nicht über den Sturz des Barbaren, sondern darüber, jetzt Syrer abzuschieben. Man weiß nicht, wofür man sich mehr schämen soll: Für die politische Ignoranz oder die Empathielosigkeit.
