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. 
 
Session took place in Portland, OR at the 79th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology in March 2019.

Part Six: Moving Beyond #MeToo Commentary: How Anthropologists Can Implement Lasting Change (GBV TIG)

Moving Beyond #MeToo Commentary: How Anthropologists Can Implement Lasting Change (GBV TIG) 
 
CHAIR: TAYLOR, Melina (USF) 
 
PANELISTS: IRELAND, Morgan (Syracuse U) #MeToo and Developing an Anti-Racist, Anti-Capitalist Lens for Sexual Violence in Activist-Scholarship 
TAYLOR, Melina (USF) Reworking the Academy: Issues, Considerations, and Providing Support to Address Sexual Assault/Harassment in the #MeToo Era 
BACKE, Emma (George Washington U) Anthropological Allyship and Ethnographic Care: Bringing #MeToo to Bear in the Field and Academy 
HALL-CLIFFORD, Rachel (Agnes Scott Coll) Where There Is No Hashtag: Global Health Confronts #MeToo
 
ABSTRACT: 
TAYLOR, Melina (USF) Moving Beyond #MeToo Commentary: How Anthropologists Can Implement Lasting Change. The last year has seen an explosion of the #MeToo Movement, both in the mainstream and in academia. With high profile sexual assault cases being brought against Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, Roger Ailes, and Les Moonves in the entertainment industry; the movement quickly spread to academia, prompting the hashtag #MeTooPhD (Kelsky 2018), a sexual misconduct case spreadsheet through Michigan State University (Libarkin 2018), and the Avital Ronell case. Themes of power, political hierarchy, institutional violence, and white feminism (to name a few) have provided analysis to the movement. Special issues and articles (Berry et al 2017, AFA Voices Spring 2018), podcasts and blog posts (Enrici and Tusing 2018), an interest group (#MeTooAnthro.org), and AAA statement (AAA 2018) in Anthropology have weighed in on this important issue.
