The SfAA Podcast Archive
The SfAA Podcast Project is a student-led initiative to provide audio records of sessions from the Annual Meetings to the public, free of charge. We strive to include a broad range of interests from diverse perspectives with the intent of extending conversations throughout the years. Our ultimate goal is to make these dialogues accessible to a global audience. This is the podcast feed dedicated to the archive of the SfAA Podcast, from years 2007 to 2024.

Doing Applied Urban Ethnography in the Neoliberal Age
CHAIR: NELSON, Andrew (UNT)
MCFARLAND, Kelly (UNT) Urban Farming: Secret Gardens, Hidden Jungles, and Unexpected Farms in Plain Sight SANCHEZ, Saniego (UNT) Art Exhibitions and Programs as Vital Resources for Urban Applied Ethnographers
BELL, Kayeron (K.D.) (UNT) Evaluating Neighborhood Needs for Social Programs
JIMENEZ, Kat (UNT) (Trans)cending Dallas’ “Gayborhood”: Establishing the Need for LGBTQ Urban Mobility
DISCUSSANT: NELSON, Andrew (UNT)
ABSTRACT:
NELSON, Andrew (UNT) Doing Applied Urban Ethnography in the Neoliberal Age. As cities become increasingly deregulated and privatized, applied urban ethnographers encounter new approaches to community empowerment. In this panel, we present four different ethnographic examples of organizations and people employing tactics and strategies for meeting social needs in the neoliberal city. For instance, we highlight urban farms appealing to city-dwellers’ desire for ‘working the land,’ a museum organizing social science exhibits and talks, a community center developing programs for a historically neglected African-American neighborhood, and a transgender affirming initiative compensating for the uneven distribution of LGBTQ-oriented health services in the city.
Session took place in Portland, OR at the 79th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology in March 2019.

Applied Visual Anthropology: Explorations in Multimedia Methodologies
CHAIR: STINNETT, Ashley (WKU)
HENDRICKSON, Carol (Marlboro Coll) Drawn In: Affective Dimensions of Drawing
HOLST, Joshua (Colorado Coll) Voices of Survivors: Mass Media and the Aural Anthropology of Human Trafficking
FELDMAN, Lindsey (U Memphis) Seeing Humanity: The Role of Visual Anthropology in Prison Research
STINNETT, Ashley (WKU) Virtual Reality and Immersive Environments: Engagements with New Methodological Approaches in Applied Research
GILL, Harjant (Towson U) Making Ethnographic Media for Non-Academic Audiences
STINNETT, Ashley (WKU) Applied Visual Anthropology: Explorations in Multimedia Methodologies. Visual media is one viable way for anthropologists to engage with research participants, community organizations and the public. Over 40 years ago Margaret Mead published a piece calling for the importance of visual data collection in anthropology. Yet, today we still see a gap in the use of readily available audio-visual technology, despite its cultural saturation. This panel addresses a breadth of multimedia methodological possibilities including illustration, photography, audio, video, and immersive environments in practice oriented anthropological settings as a way to cross-pollinate and encourage other scholars to utilize this valuable tool for engagement with stakeholders and communities.

Welcome to the Archive
We are excited to bring you into the SfAA podcast archives! This has been the next big evolution of the SfAA Podcast project where we work to bring the SfAA experience to the global population of anthropologists and anthro-curious.
The SfAA Podcast Project originated from a conversation at the 2005 Annual Meeting in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where a student was debating which panel to attend. Her then-boyfriend suggested listening to a recording of one of the panels afterwards, but SfAA did not offer recordings at that time.
The following year, the student discussed the idea with her advisor, who supported it and helped pitch it to the SfAA Executive Director. With their support, the student managed to podcast her first seven sessions in 2007 with the help of two friends.
Since then, the Podcast Project has expanded its core team and offered annual meeting attendance to volunteers. The project has also built a global following, with its podcasts being used worldwide.
We hope you enjoy!
