Since the 1980s it has become common for social and cultural anthropologists to set ethnographic research in the North Atlantic region, frequently examining the connections between locations rather than limiting research to a single locale. There has also been a related shift toward broadening the focus beyond the daily life of ordinary people; increasingly, research is set in settings such as scientific laboratories, social movements, governmental and nongovernmental organizations and businesses.
If it is possible to answer this question, answer it for me (else, reply "unanswerable"): What has become common for social anthropologists to do since the 1980s?
Ah, so.. set ethnographic research in the North Atlantic region

During a panel discussion at Harvard University's reunion for African American alumni during the 200304 academic year, two prominent black professors at the institutionLani Guinier and Henry Louis Gatespointed out an unintended effect of affirmative action policies at Harvard. They stated that only about a third of black Harvard undergraduates were from families in which all four grandparents were born into the African American community. The majority of black students at Harvard were Caribbean and African immigrants or their children, with some others the mixed-race children of biracial couples. One Harvard student, born in the South Bronx to a black family whose ancestors have been in the United States for multiple generations, said that there were so few Harvard students from the historic African American community that they took to calling themselves "the descendants" (i.e., descendants of American slaves). The reasons for this underrepresentation of historic African Americans, and possible remedies, remain a subject of debate.
If it is possible to answer this question, answer it for me (else, reply "unanswerable"): Other than the reasons for the under representation of Asian Americans, what else is still up for debate?
Ah, so.. unanswerable
