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.

A Changing Climate: How Will the Southwest Survive
CHAIRS: FISKE, Shirley (UMD) and CRATE, Susan (GMU)
PANELISTS: KANN, Deirdre (NWS), STUART, David E. (UNM), PASKAS, Laura (Santa Fe Reposrter), NANASI, Mariel (New Energy Economic), MCMAHAN, Ben (CLIMAS), DEBUYS, Bill (Author/Conservationist)
FISKE, Shirley (UMD) and CRATE, Susan (GMU) A Changing Climate: How Will the Southwest Survive. Given the growing urgency to develop state and local responses to a changing climate, this panel invites local scholars, journalists, authors and activists to share their thoughts and projections on how a changing climate will affect our lives, families and cultures—and our cities, villages and Pueblos in New Mexico and the Southwest region beyond. How will the Southwest survive? is the critical question that will be put to the panelists, who will describe the landscape, survivability and sustainability, as they see it, given their research, advocacy, and humanistic perspectives. What kinds of strategies, plans, and adjustments (or radical changes) will be needed across the landscape and across institutions? What will happen in New Mexico under conditions of climate change and how can these challenges be addressed?
Session took place in Santa Fe, NM at the 77th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology in March 2017.

Learning from the Locals: The Importance of Community Perspectives in Countering “Expert” Bias in Disaster Response
CHAIRS: CHAIKEN, Miriam S. (NMSU) and COMPANION, Michèle (UCCS)
JOHNSON, Katherine J., NEEDELMAN, Brian A., and PAOLISSO, Michael (UMD) Vulnerability and Resilience to Climate Change in a Rural Coastal Community RIVERA, Jason D.

(NMSU) and COMPANION, Michèle (UCCS)
CHAIKEN, Miriam S. (NMSU) and COMPANION, Michèle (UCCS) Learning from the Locals: The Importance of Community Perspectives in Countering “Expert” Bias in Disaster Response. The field of disaster mitigation has grown and expanded, becoming ever more professional and data-driven, as disaster professionals seek to build resilience in the face of shocks and mitigate against negative impacts. Despite the progress in this field, there is often an implicit bias that the “experts” are best at responding to disasters, with local knowledge treated as folk wisdom. These papers examine the ways in which “experts” sometimes failed to produce the desired response, and where greater reliance on indigenous knowledge systems and “insider” perspectives were warranted.

Riddle Me DATA: Science, Anthropology & the Future of Knowledge, Part II
CHAIR: HANNA, Bridget (Northeastern U)
COLES, Kimberley (U Redlands) Evidence and Experiment in GIS-Enabled Community Driven Development in the Philippines HANNA, Bridget (Northeastern U) Toxicology without Targets: Exposomics, Data & the Infinite Environment ANNECHINO, Rachelle and LEE, Juliet P. (PIRE) The Secret Lives of Search Algorithms: Youtube Search as a Social Environment METZNER, Emily (UIUC) Evidence In, Evidence Out: The Changing Contours of Due Process in an Evidence-Based Age DISCUSSANT: KENDALL, Carl (Tulane U)
HANNA, Bridget (Northeastern U) Riddle Me DATA: Science, Anthropology & the Future of Knowledge, Parts I-II. The increasing interdisciplinarity of Big Data science poses new riddles for anthropologists. Originally, disciplinary divisions were driven by the urge to: 1) protect unique epistemologies; 2) foster distinct methodologies, & 3) cultivate specialized knowledge. Today however, disciplinary silos are being eroded by the rise of the data sciences, with their omnivorous appetite for information and relatively agnostic view as to its’ philosophical underpinnings. What does this mean for ethnographic practice, for collaboration, and for justice? How do we ethically work with, within, and with-out Big Data? Stories across environmental, medical, cartographic, judicial and managerial worlds help frame these new conundrums.

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!
