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.

CHAIR: STEVENS, Melissa (Global Philadelphia Assoc)
PANELISTS:
GROSSI, Patrick (Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia),
BOLENDER, Kiki (Bolender Architects),
HOLLENBERG, David (U Penn),
FANELLI, Doris (Independence Nat’l Historic Park)
ABSTRACT: STEVENS, Melissa (Global Philadelphia Assoc) Preserving Philadelphia’s Past and Investing in Its Future: Sustainable Solutions for America’s First World Heritage City. In 2015, Philadelphia became the first “World Heritage City” in the United States. The achievement of this designation led to the creation of the World Heritage City Project, which was established to seize the opportunities that this new status affords the citizens of Philadelphia. With the impending withdrawal of the United States from UNESCO, the role of cities in preserving and promoting local heritage is more important than ever and essential to the long-term sustainability of such efforts. This panel brings together Philadelphia area heritage practitioners to discuss sustainable approaches to issues of heritage preservation, tourism, education, management, and promotion.

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!
