“It’s Not You, It’s Not Me—It’s Us!”: Challenging Public Perceptions of Anthropology through Experiential Learning - Lincoln & Farrell

“It’s Not You, It’s Not Me—It’s Us!”: Challenging Public Perceptions of Anthropology through Experiential Learning
 
CHAIR: SCHUG, Seran (Rowan U)

SCHUG, Seran (Rowan U) “It’s Not You, It’s Not Me—It’s Us!”: Challenging Public Perceptions of Anthropology through Experiential Learning. This panel addresses the long-standing misperceptions of anthropology as a static social science about distant others rather than a dynamic exploration of relationships. We showcase experiential learning projects that challenge misrepresentations and misappropriations of ethnographic knowledge and practices. Projects include script-writing and other writing culture projects that educate and critique the process of ethnography, student-run development of a museum with audience engaged interactive displays, collaborative storytelling for an online archive— “Voices of the Garden State,” building a database of legal cases that affect traditional Native American/American Indian practices, and photo- ethnography as a collaborative relational effort.

ERICKSON, Pamela (UConn) and FRANK, Cynthia (Yale U) College Students’ Changing and Stable Ideas about the Cause of Disease, 2008-2016. In the 1990s I began first day in-class free listing of all causes of disease (COD) that students in my ethnomedicine classes named. A decade later, I began tracking this more formally because their responses appeared to reflect changing scientific understandings of COD. We present data from COD free lists/pile sorts for 2008-2016. Results suggest similarities across all years with the exception of the emergence and prominence of stress in the top five since 2009 and the emergence of lifestyle and obesity issues since 2012. We discuss how these data reflect changes in how medicine conceptualizes COD.

JOHNSTON, Barbara Rose (Ctr for Political Ecology) Lessons from the Dawning of the Anthropocene: Trials, Evolving Traditions, and New Directions for Communities Hosting Nuclear Disaster. Part I: Struggles and Evolving Strategies to Secure Resilience and Health in Marshallese Communities. In cracking the atom and unleashing nuclear power on this planet, we humans created a complex and completely unique force, one that generates immense power for a few and terrible suffering for many. This session considers the trials endured by host communities and emerging lessons from seven decades of life in a nuclear disaster zone. Part one explores the Marshallese experience and evolving lessons at home and in diaspora. Parts two and three offer a cross- cultural exploration of impacts, risk and uncertainties, and adaptive response. Collectively, we explore the architecture of power and controlling processes driving nuclear expansion, shaping consequential damages, encouraging remedial actions, and the relative success of struggles to build truly sustainable architectures of power.
