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.

Inviting “the Wisdom of the Crowd”: Building Sustainable Models of Community-Engaged Research
CHAIR: STEWART, Kenda (VA)
PANELISTS: DOWNS, Kiersten (USF),
ONO, Sarah,
BESTERMAN DAHAN, Karen
LIND, Jason (VA)
ABSTRACT:
STEWART, Kenda (VA) Inviting “the Wisdom of the Crowd”: Building Sustainable Models of Community-Engaged Research. Engagement builds transparency and trust between researchers and communities, fostering a partnership in knowledge co-creation. Within the Veterans Health Administration, researchers and research centers implement diverse models to engage Veteran communities. As Veteran-engagement efforts spread nationwide, development of sustainable, productive relationships must address questions regarding how “community” is defined. Drawing from anthropological theory, VA anthropologists deliberate how to engage communities without falling into tokenism or homogenizing Veteran “culture.” Representing geographically distinct research centers, the panelists discuss building long-term, bi-directional relationships between Veterans and researchers and contemplate engagement strategies inclusive of the diversity that comprises the U.S. Veteran population.

Homelessness: An Event and a Lifestyle
CHAIR: LANTTO, Kathleen (Loyola U) LANTTO, Kathleen (Loyola U) Survival Hospitality: An Ethnographic Study of the Relationship between Homelessness and Service Providers
CRAWFORD, Courtney (U Denver) Train Riders: The Modern Day American Nomads
ABSTRACT:
LANTTO, Kathleen (Loyola U) Homelessness: An Event and a Lifestyle. Homelessness intersects with other social issues, such as criminal justice, veterans’ issues, community development, and mental health. These overlapping experiences within homelessness require attention to be paid to personal experiences with navigating housing, systems in place that protect and prevent loss of housing, local activism for housing rights, access to resources, and other justice issues. Panelists discuss how community activists, resource providers, and people experiencing homelessness are addressing homelessness and advocating for the betterment of systems, how resources are made available to people in crisis, and how communities reshape in the event of homelessness.

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!
