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.

How We Think, Work and Write about Migration, Part I
CHAIRS: FREIDENBERG, Judith (UMD) and DURAND, Jorge (U Guadalajara)
PANELISTS: PENDRY, De Ann (UTK), METZ, Brent E. (KU), COHEN, Jeffrey H. (OH State U)
DISCUSSANTS: VÉLEZ-IBÁÑEZ, Carlos G. (ASU), GRIFFITH, David (ECU)
FREIDENBERG, Judith (UMD) and DURAND, Jorge (U Guadalajara) How We Think, Work and Write about Migration, Parts I-II. The wide and enthusiastic response to the question posed in Practicing Anthropology (38.1), “How do we talk about migration” encourages taking another step and suggest new avenues for discussion: what geo-political perspective do we use to study migration, how do we analyze migration and what theoretical perspective frames our positioning; how, and from which disciplines, do we approach research topics and how do we write them up; who do we address, and what is the dominant narrative in our work. We propose four axes for discussion: the geo-political perspective, the analytical approach, the disciplinary option and the narrative practice.

Ethnobotany, Food, and Identity
CHAIR: FOWLER, Emily E. (UIC)
FOWLER, Emily E. (UIC) Traditional Maya Medical Practices, Ethnobotany, and Western Medicine GRIFFITH, Lauren and GRIFFITH, Cameron (TTU), CHO, Juan (Ixcacao) Agree-culture as Local Ecological Knowledge GAMWELL, Adam (Brandeis U) Culinary Catalysts and Scientific Shifts: Peruvian Quinoa in the Age of Genetics and Gastronomy
FOWLER, Emily E. (UIC) Traditional Maya Medical Practices, Ethnobotany, and Western Medicine. This paper explores ethnobotany and traditional Maya of Central America medical practices and how they may be used in conjunction with Western Medicine. I argue that small-scale neighborhood and community utilization of plants traditionally used by the Maya for medical purposes, as a supplement to our more mainstream practices, would lead to a more sustainable medical practice. I use ethnographic data from time spent with a Maya indigenous knowledge scholar and the existing ethnobotany literature to analyze the possibilities for a practical application of these ideas, such as community gardens and community development programs that include education on such practices.

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!
