Anthropologist Looks with Empathy at World

09/07/2022

The website “Out Traveller” meets up this month with Doctor David Harrison, an anthropologist, and linguistic expert who travels the globe speaking with people whose languages are endangered in a globalised world.  “To be an anthropologist, you have to be able to step outside of your own cultural assumptions in order to appreciate other cultures, and being gay pushes you down that path,” he explains. “You didn’t choose to be different, but you’re different. You’re not accepted. You feel some alienation from your own culture; you begin looking around at other cultures with interest, curiosity, and perhaps empathy.”   Doctor Harrison is a fellow of the Internationally acclaimed Explorers Club, which is currently running a programme to celebrate LGBTQIA people in the field of exploration and anthropology.
