The Syllabus Archive, within the Teaching Tools section of Fieldsights, is designed with instructors in mind, for those of us with more experience or for those of us who are just beginning to teach. The Syllabus Archive is a collection of materials useful for organizing courses and is designed to be used as individuals see fit. Some posts consist of multiple syllabi on curated topics, while others highlight certain frameworks or complementary content that can be used to craft better syllabi. For those of you who have had to create a syllabus from scratch, we are here to help and show that collaboration can be a great source for the future of anthropological teaching!
