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.

KELLY, Patty (Haverford Coll) “I Never Thought I’d Be Here”: Institutional Sexism and Gender Violence in the U.S. Family Court System.
ABSTRACT:
BLOOM, Allison (Rutgers U) The Policies of Violence: Gender, Violence and the Public’s Well Being. The link between state-sanctioned and everyday violence has been an important focus of anthropological analysis. However, we must also consider how certain ideologies and material realities create violence through policies and structures in specifically gendered ways. As we interrogate how policies can lead to gendered violence, we must broaden this discussion to interrogate the processes and ideologies behind this policy making. In this panel, we consider how policies and policy making can lead to or mitigate forms of gender-based violence and the resulting impacts on everyday lives.

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!
