Abstract

For over twenty-five years, anthropologists have been concerned about the teaching of anthropology, especially introductory anthropology. A major concern has been with the re­sources available to teach introductory courses and another concern has been with teaching methods. This paper describes how both concerns are resolved in a unique way. Students discover, provide, and explain sets of a specific type of "resource," cartoons, and in turn, a departmental museum presents them as an exhibit. In this way, anthropology is introduced to a wider audience and methodology extended be­yond the classroom. Students are collaborators in this broader educational venture.
