Professional practice and the workplace: a contribution from the Uruguayan Association of Social and Cultural Anthropology (AUAS)

Abstract

This work aims to be a contribution of uruguayan social anthropology from the exchange generated at the symposium for the Global Survey of Anthropological Practice-GSAP, organized by the World Council of Anthropological Associations (WCAA) in July 2018 (IUAES, Florianópolis, Brazil), which sought to put in dialogue various local realities. To describe some of the characteristics of the professional practice of anthropology in Uruguay -from a basically quantitative approach-, I recover the record of previous data that were part of surveys conducted in 2014 by the Graduate Unit of the Faculty of Humanities and Educational Sciences (FHCE) of the University of the Republic (UdelaR) and I cross-reference data from the GSAP survey conducted in 2018 by the Asociación Uruguaya de Antropología Social y Cultural (AUAS), updating, in a preliminary way, those data obtained by other ongoing surveys.
