Public Content

Led by our Communications and Productions Team,

our committee is able to offer anthropological content for educational purposes. Themes can vary from comedy and entertainment to addressing historical milestones. If we cannot visit or host you, WAO encourages everyone to learn about anthropology wherever accessible. Interested in specific topics or searching for more visuals?

Below are posters created by our team to commemorate, educate, or diversify the field of anthropology. These resources are designed for teachers, educators, and others interested in diversifying their curriculum. All posters are free to use and may be downloaded and incorporated into classroom lessons and educational materials. These posters aim to showcase influential figures while offering perspectives beyond the traditionally dominant narratives in anthropology, thereby broadening how the discipline is represented and taught. A document of additional resources is also included at the end for those who wish further to explore the lives and work of the featured individuals.
