About AiP

Looking to better understand the world around you? You've come to the right place. Anthropology in Practice (AiP) highlights the intersection of culture, history, and technology to showcase the ways anthropology is embedded is our everyday relationships. The goal at AiP is to invite a larger audience to consider and discuss the rich legacies of social history against the current context of our global experiences.

AiP is written by Krystal D'Costa—an anthropologist, New Yorker, and Mets fan. Krystal works digital advertising where she applies her skills as an anthropologist to help generate processes and work/flows that encourage collaborative, cohesive cultures.

Her interests include identities, technology, immigrants, history, and the relationships that make up daily life. Her writing on these topics has been featured by Scientific American and Canvas8, and she has spoken about these topics ay Ignite NYC and Internet Week in New York City. In 2011, Anthropology in Practice was invited to join the Scientific American blog community. This is the original home of AiP, and is maintained as an archive.

Readers are invited to leave a comment and join the discussion about breaking news, research ventures, and most importantly, everyday events. However, spam and abusive commentary will be deleted promptly.

For speaking engagements, press inquiries, and other matters, you can contact Krystal directly here.
