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.

WELLER, Susan C. and VICKERS, Ben (UTMB), BERNARD, H. Russell (ASU/UF) Sample Size: Saturation, Domain Size, & Salience TURNLEY, Jessica Glicken (Galisteo Consulting) When Data Isn’t Data: Unpacking the Term across the Sciences AUGUSTIN, Caitlin (U Miami/DataKind), CHENG, Samantha (NCEAS), MINNICH, Robert (Columbia U/DataKind), and ANZAROOT, Sam (DataKind) Efficient Systematic Mapping: New Methods for Analysis and Effective Communication of Results to Community Partners for Conservation Policy Decision-Making
WELLER, Susan C. and VICKERS, Ben (UTMB), BERNARD, H. Russell (ASU/UF) Sample Size: Saturation, Domain Size, & Salience. Sample size estimation for open-ended interviewing relies primarily on custom. In an analysis of 28 examples of free-lists (total n=1147) the median sample size for reaching saturation was 75 (range n=15-194) and salience indices, including the proportion of people in a sample that mentioned an item, were highly correlated. Because sample proportions estimate population proportions, sample size for qualitative studies can be guided by the desired level of salience one hopes to observe. Since many domains are large and unbounded, item salience is a more useful concept than saturation in guiding sample size decisions for qualitative studies.

CHAIR: THACKER, Paul (WFU)
THACKER, Paul (WFU) Consecrated Authenticities and Heritage Preservation Dissonance in Post-Katrina New Orleans TREMBLAY, Adrienne (SWCA Env Consultants) Switching Gears: Flexibility and Adaptability in Cultural Resource Management WOLFORTH, Lynne M. (UHH) and ANDERSON, Clint K.P. (Kameheameha Sch) Bringing Historic Hawaiʻi to Life: New Directions in Teaching with Museum Artifacts for the Hawaiian Language Immersion School WOOD, W. Warner and PACIFICO, David B. (UWM) Notes toward Assembling an Anarchist Museum Anthropology STINE, Linda F. (UNCG) Linkages in Community- Engaged Archaeology
THACKER, Paul (WFU) Consecrated Authenticities and Heritage Preservation Dissonance in Post-Katrina New Orleans. Disaster contexts frequently expose multidimensional conflicts between national and international preservation ethics and local heritage constructs and values. Community narratives and opposition to national preservation management regulations powerfully shaped Post-Katrina preservation action in New Orleans. Content analysis of the public hearings and the iterative process determining the Section 106 preservation action for, and eventual demolition of, St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Church in Gentilly reveals the significance of locally-constructed New Orleans authenticities and heritage values. Stakeholder priorities were correlated with residence location, regional employment, gender, and community engagement. Understanding these dynamics of dissonance is important for developing meaningful community-based heritage management Strategies.

Immigration Politics After the Election
CHAIR: GOMBERG-MUNOZ, Ruth (Loyola U)
ROUNDTABLE PARTICIPANTS: CHAVEZ, Leo (UCI), HEYMAN, Josiah (UTEP), CASTANEDA, Heide (USF), HEIDBRINK, Lauren (CSULB), GOMBERG-MUNOZ, Ruth (Loyola U)
GOMBERG-MUNOZ, Ruth (Loyola U) Immigration Politics After the Election. The topic of immigration was wielded as campaign fodder throughout the 2016 election cycle, with Donald Trump promising to “build a wall” and aggressively expand mass deportations, and Hillary Clinton vowing to support and extend protections for US immigrants. No mere political theater, contentious politics surrounding immigration in the United States have profound ramifications for millions of people both within US borders and beyond. In this session, panelists discuss their work with migrants and their family members, exploring how migrants perceive and navigate the promises and actualities of 2016 US election results.

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!
