Changes to my study program

 Currently in social mention of anthropology a process of curricular innovation is carried out that will be implemented from next year, a process that takes years and that despite the participation of professors and students in different instances, it’s very questionable in terms of the orientation that is continued giving discipline, since courses of great importance for the contextual comprehension of our society, as Social history and Latin American history were eliminated, on the other hand there a null attempt to give a more practical emphasis to anthropology in which the “fields works” are active instances of learning in direct relation with the communities.

Therefore from my perspective I would first implement courses and readings that are geared towards more practical learning as well as integrate teachers who have a commitment to social problems and not only with the generation of theoretical knowledge that is trapped in the academic sphere. Likewise I would avoid that the classes only consist of listening to the teacher for hours without any kind of interaction with the students, who only have to obey and uncritically repeat the knowledge that has already been done. Moreover, I find it absurd that for economic reasons and lack of resources each year should allow the entry of more than 100 students of anthropology as well as other social sciences, to be supported by tariffs, when in reality the labor demand it’s not related to the number of students graduates. And finally, implement programs that allow more clarity to students about anthropological work since it’s a relatively unknown discipline and many students drop out because they don’t know enough about the career.
