Abstract
In the last decade, Canadian anthropologists have
evidenced new interest in the public promotion of their
field and the broader dissemination of their research findings.
The present paper is intended as a contribution to this
vital issue. It reviews recent efforts to increase anthropology’s profile. It assesses the interaction of one anthropologist
with the media. It hopes to encourage the media participation
of anthropologists, and to suggest some of the strategies
at their disposal.
