Kia ora,
We are the
Anthsisters - welcome to our blog.
We are
Tarapuhi Bryers-Brown, Tayla Hancock and Hollie Russell and together we make up
the Anthsisters. Although we knew of each other in undergrad it was not until
our year together doing Honours in Cultural Anthropology (which we spent living
in the library) that we became close friends and started referring to ourselves
as the Anthsisters. Last year we were doing our Masters, and decided it was the
perfect time to make our blogging debut.
The blog
itself is dedicated to anything and everything anthropology and student
related. Although we specialise in Cultural Anthropology we are open to
discussion concerning the other branches of Anth - Linguistics, Archaeology and Biology.
We
encourage you to comment, critique, and challenge us, as long as it's
constructive. While we aim to keep a high standard, in terms of style,
spelling, and references please remember who we are and the audience we are
targeting.
