anthropology vs comms?

[jujubean]

hi grad cafe people!

i'm currently in the process of applying to communications programs with concentrations in sport as i look to study sports, social justice, and an athlete's impact on activism through their platforms on social media.

I'm also super interested in the anthropological side of sport and social justice and how it's driven social change throughout our modern society.

okay, got that out of the way. now i'm really curious: i'd love to hear from any anthropology phds! on your perspective of your program, if you think i would be better off going for an anthro degree instead of comms? comms people, would love your perspective here. i'm mainly curious when i think about how the programs would go in terms of research and teaching after. which would provide more flexibility in career and teaching courses?

thanks in advance for your wisdom and input
