Jennifer Beck

The Definition of Culture Lesson

This really drove home for my kids the idea that while there are standardized definitions of culture, in day-to-day life, culture means different things to different people. It was a great springboard to explore all the ways culture is a living breathing part of who we are.

Susan Hofmann

Culture is How We Connect Lesson

Really helpful overview that framed for my son in a meaningful way how culture encompasses so much of the human experience in big and small ways, and sparks connections between big concepts like values and identity and traditions and ways of doing things that he previously took for granted.

Jane Anthony

What is Anthropology? Lesson

Thought-provoking resource that not only defines all the different genres of anthropology, but gives real insight into the diverse ways the field is used for many different purposes. Made my kids realize how complex human interaction is, and how better understanding each other can lead to healthier societies.

Juan Torres

What Is It Like to Be a Refugee?

This really brought to life for my daughters what people who emigrate have to go through, and why they undertake making such a dramatic change. Dawit’s story was a way to have a conversation about current events, and stereotypes of emigrants and what the realities are.
