Discover The Very Human Blog

Welcome to The Very Human Blog—a space where anthropology, academia, and the complexities of being human intertwine. Less a polished guide and more a thoughtful (if occasionally exasperated) reflection, this blog offers a candid look at what it means to study people while also trying to exist as one. Here, you’ll find stories that move beyond the pages of theory—capturing the contradictions, frustrations, and unexpected joys of social science research. Whether you're a student wrestling with abstract concepts, a nostalgic academic, or simply someone intrigued by the absurdities of human life, this blog aims to provoke thought, challenge assumptions, and, above all, embrace the beautifully untidy nature of it all.
