「人類學咁講」我説…人類學畢業生做什麽？ 完成畢業論文後，人類學學生在多元的選擇中尋找不同的解方：是進入一般工作市場，還是追隨自己的學術興趣進入專業，抑或持續進修？畢業後回看在學系裡的時光，或許又會有新的感受。一開始爲何會選擇人類學？在中大人類學的時間經歷了甚麼，又學到了甚麼？畢業後選擇怎樣的道路？本集節目邀請到2024年畢業生Claudia，和主持人一起回顧自己的人類學旅程。 （本集以廣東話進行。） After finishing the final year projects, anthropology graduates start to consider various options: Enter the general job market? Follow one’s academic interest and work in specific fields? Or continue their studies? And new feelings may emerge looking back at university life. Why did we choose Anthropology? What happened during the years in CUHK Anthropology? What did we learn? How are we now after graduation? In this episode, we have Claudia, a graduate of 2024, to review her journey in CUHK Anthropology.

Welcome everyone to “Anthropology Says”, I am Linus, host of this podcast series. Anthropologists spend a lot of time chatting with our interlocutors, participating in their routines, and building a relationship deeper than a typical interviewer-interviewee one. “Chatting” in this sense can teach us things beyond our expectation. Through interactions in a casual setting, this series will focus on the less theoretical side of the anthropology life and showcase the ideas and stories of those of us in anthropology. To me, anthropology is full of sentiments and fun, which I hope to share in these episodes. Thank you for listening :)
