Inclusion on Campus: The Role of Anthropology (Society for Disability Studies) 
CHAIR: GERBER, Elaine (Montclair State U) 
 
PANELISTS: GERBER, Elaine (Montclair State U) The Campus Access Project: Generating Activism and Improving Access through Classroom Assignments 
KONECZNY, Nell (UIC) Activism and Research: Anthropological Perspectives on Professor Engagement with Disability, Accessibility, and Inclusion 
ACEVEDO, Sara (Bellevue Coll) Naming Silences: Reclaiming Disability Narratives through Curricular Intervention 
ROSCIGNO, Robin (Rutgers U) Establishing “Rhetoricity”: Knowledge Production among Autistic Students in a College Support System 
OLSON, Krisjon (MCW) Propositions for Anthropology in Medical Education: Introducing Structural Competence into the Diversity and Inclusion Initiative on a Midwestern Campus
 
ABSTRACT: 
GERBER, Elaine (Montclair State U) Inclusion on Campus: The Role of Anthropology. From professor perspectives and actions about disability, accessibility, and inclusion in university classrooms to student activism and initiatives to advocate for disability rights and expanded services… what is the role of anthropology on college campuses? In these turbulent times, we have seen disabled activists at the forefront of the culture wars, on the frontlines fighting to save health care in the US and as prominent players in the #MeToo movement. This panel examines whether and how that activism extends to college campuses, and the role of anthropology (faculty, departments, students, programs, curricular innovations, etc.) in that process.
 
Session took place in Portland, OR at the 79th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology in March 2019.

Part Eight: Indigenous Voices in Parks and Protected Areas - Q&A

Indigenous Voices in Parks and Protected Areas: Applied Ethnography from the American Southwest to Central Australia 
 
CHAIR: STOFFLE, Richard (U Arizona) 
 PANELISTS:SITTLER, Christopher (U Arizona) Interpreting Interpretations: Native Voices in Public Displays 
STOFFLE, Richard (U Arizona) Stone Arches as GeoFacts in Utah National Parks: Epistemological Divides in Environmental Communication

PENRY, Grace (U Arizona) The Identification of the Shinny Stick and Its Significance for Native American Women 
ALBERTIE, Mariah (U Arizona) Aztec Butte Sacred Or Profane
 
ABSTRACT: 
STOFFLE, Richard (U Arizona) Indigenous Voices in Parks and Protected Areas: Applied Ethnography from the American Southwest to Central Australia. Indigenous peoples are reaffirming their connections with traditional lands and resources through formal consultations within government agencies. To this end, they have collaborated with applied anthropologists to conduct ethnographic studies that have informed governance and decision-making by land managers and tribal governments. This session showcases a range of ethnographic studies in National Parks and National Monuments in the Southwest— Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Hovenweep National Monument—conducted by our University of Arizona (UofA) research team. One panelist offers a comparative perspective from central Australia, based on work as an applied anthropologist on cultural and natural resource management projects undertaken by Indigenous governments. This panel documents how studies have influenced how the NPS and Government agencies understand cultural resources, publicly interpret them, and utilize these insights in park management.
