Faye Harrison's edited volume Decolonizing Anthropology: Moving Further Toward an Anthropology for Liberation has curated a dialogue surrounding the re-assessment of the anthropological field and the necessity for greater contribution by people of color. Faye Harrison’s scholarly efforts in illuminating the phenomenon of decolonizing anthropology has led many scholars to incorporate this idea into their work and scholarly strategies. Her contribution to ideas surrounding decolonization have made scholars Jafari Sinclaire Allen and Ryan Cecil Jobson ask new questions such as, “Does decolonizing anthropology require institutional locations in which we may meet and engage in dialogue with more Black, brown, and working-class students?” and “How, then, can our practices of scholarship, undergraduate and graduate teaching, and administrative work serve the project of decolonization?” Some Black anthropological scholars have responded to decolonizing anthropology by exiting the field to pursue related programs. Additionally, the de-colonial project has influenced an increase in university approval of Black Studies programs including programs at University of California, Los Angeles, University of Pennsylvania and University of Texas-Austin.
