Here’s a re-cap of the top 10 most popular posts on Anthropologizing in 2015. A few of my favorites include #1, #2 and #4. As with last year’s top 10 list, I’m not surprised to see #2 here because one of the most common topics people ask me about in general is ux/design research jobs. The articles fall into two main categories – practical topics (#1, #2, #5, #10) and professional experiences (#1, #3, #4, #7, #8, #9), which I will continue doing more of next year.
