Novel teaching methods: The Bollywood flashmob

Here’s a fun way to get students interested in anthropology. Earlier this year, Alberto Gomes of Melbourne’s La Trobe University (who, as coincidence would have it, also came here to Max Planck to give a lecture last year) embedded a flashmob of Bollywood-style dancers in his introductory anthropology lecture. It’s worth watching to the end, when the entire lecture hall gets up to perform the dance moves.
