There are increasing calls for reviewing the relevance of anthropology in the current political-economic climate with market-led changes occurring in higher education in the United Kingdom. In some regards, these changes represent a move back to previous funding arrangements, when anthropology was obliged to go through recurrent rounds of arguing its relevance to secure resources. Why, after several generations, does practicality remain a troublesome issue and anthropology not have a flourishing applied tradition? The discipline's history reveals that a concern for demonstrating its applicability has troubled it since its inception. This article asks what one may have to learn from how the discipline's ancestors went about demonstrating its usefulness on the grounds that a review of previous attempts to define a practical anthropology may help pinpoint some of the key issues that need to be addressed in order to establish a long-overdue thriving applied anthropology. |
