Advocacy Anthropology

Advocacy Anthropology is an approach within cultural anthropology where researchers actively support communities facing social, political, or economic challenges. Instead of only studying these groups from a distance, advocates work to promote positive change, often collaborating with communities to address issues like land rights, cultural preservation, or development. It combines anthropological understanding with a commitment to social justice, ensuring that marginalized voices are heard and their needs are prioritized in policy-making and interventions.
