Welcome and Hello

I’m Professor Walker Lamott and I’m writing at my computer inside my home office inside the city of Springfield, in the great state of Missouri.

I have taught at several universities, primarily within the field of Anthropology. I have also served as a consultant on various governmental agencies, at both the federal and state levels, with regard to a specialized sub-field of the social science I refer to as Anthropological Phenomenology. I have pioneered this peripheral science and am considered by many as its current leader, or spokesman, for lack of a better term. My affiliations with particular legislative committees and agencies shall necessarily remain undisclosed, and I will not elaborate further on my involvement with them. However, I can assure you that my extensive knowledge in this area is entirely my own.

I’m semi-retired, teaching one class every fall at Missouri State University (all hail the “Queen of The Ozarks”); and this schedule affords me the pleasure of making this sub-field my primary intellectual and investigative focus.

Anthropology is essentially the study of human beings and the manner in which they live and exist in society, both past and present; Anthropological Phenomenology focuses on the presence of “unexplained” phenomena – life-forms, objects and events – that exist in human life and societies. Anthropological Phenomenology does not seek to explain, or even define, the “unexplainable,” but rather it’s a science that purports that the unexplainable is an undeniable part of everyday human life. And that it should be recognized as such.
