1. SUSANA MATOS VIEGAS PORTUGUSE ASSOCIATION OF ANTHROPOLOGY

2. CONTEMPORARY WAYS OF PRODUCING AND EVALUATING KNOWLEDGE – WHAT ABOUT ANTHROPOLOGY?

3. COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS ON A GLOBAL LEVEL: EVALUATION OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE THE PROFILES OF THE ANTHROPOLOGISTS

4. EVALUATION OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE 1. Action on a Global Level - Cooperation: debating what are our singularities.

5. 2. Focusing on publication issues. – Authorship; ethnography and monographs; books and journals: against using the model of natural sciences. - our native language and English. - Global debate: Empowering the specificity of anthropological knowledge.

6. 3. What are the consequences? - Jobs, grants, funding for universities and research; - comparison of production between different disciplines – politics of science.

7. PROFILES OF THE ANTHROPOLOGISTS Assuming that anthropology is not: a) a predefined profession; b) a subject in which academic knowledge can not be conceived out of social actions/engagement. Assuming that c) we should use our methodological tools in order to know ourselves – open and semi-structured interviews; - evaluating the final results in comparative perspectives on a global level.

8. a) THE FIELDS OF KNOWLEDGE AND INSTITUTIONS What are these fields and institutions in the contemporary world? How are they different from what they were 10/20 years ago? Did we reach for instance Ngo demands? Demands for understanding social life/cultural issues?

9. b) ANTHROPOLOGY AS ENGAGEMENT - Academic research as engaged anthropology - What types of research are anthropologist doing in the Universities? – “Applied” research as part of academic research (eg. immigration, religion, social impact in areas that will be flooded by hydroelectric-power barrage, promoting gender equality)

10. c) METHODOLOGY - Interviews (e-mail) i) details on the different types of professional jobs; ii) how is the training in anthropology being adapted to different types of activities? - Comparison as part of the analysis (anthropology in Europe, different situations/traditions worldwide)

11. Global cooperation in the research on contemporary profiles of anthropologists. FINAL GOAL: disseminate the knowledge of what anthropologists do – its role in different contemporary professional fields.
