Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Key consultants are the members of a society who work most closely with the anthropologist to provide an understanding of cultural phenomena. They are considered “key” because they have more expertise and knowledge of their own culture. Primary consultants may refer to a broader group of people who are consulted by anthropologists, while cultural brokers and liaisons refer more specifically to individuals who facilitate communication and relationships between different cultural groups. Key leaders may be important members of a society, but they are not necessarily the same as key consultants for anthropological research purposes.
