Anthropology and Violence on the Frontlines 
CHAIRS: MILLER, Bruce (UBC) and BAINES, Stephen (U Brasilia) BAINES, Stephen (U Brasilia) Doing Front Line Ethnographic Research with Indigenous People in Roraima State, Brazil 
ARORA, Kamal (UBC) Clutching a Pink Can of Pepper Spray: Fieldwork under the Shadow of the Delhi Gangrape  NITSÀN, Tal (UBC) Anthropologists and the Front Lines of Gender-Based Violence 
MILLER, Bruce (UBC) Violence, Fissure Lines, and the Unexpected Insight

ABSTRACT:
MILLER, Bruce (UBC) and BAINES, Stephen (U Brasilia) Anthropology and Violence on the Frontlines. This session concerns the experiences of anthropologists engaged in “front line” work in other disciplines—including such topics as work with indigenous peoples on borders, in prisons, and in violent settings. We ask, what features of this work are commonly unreported and yet influence our ability to access sites, raise our concerns about personal safety, and affect our theorizing and even our own sense of the role of the discipline? Examples include the indirect (threats in court to expert witnesses), the directly violent (attempts to kill and discredit an anthropologist working with those in opposition to dam development), among others.

MOSHER, Heather, JORDAN, Dan, MORALES, Zulynette, and SCHENSUL, Jean (ICR) Youth RxeACTION: A Participatory Video Action Research Project. Facilitated by ICR researchers, high school students in West Hartford, Connecticut, used participatory video (PV) and participatory action research to understand and design a prevention campaign to reduce teen substance use. Youth researchers conducted qualitative in-depth interviews with peers to understand teen alcohol use and prescription drug misuse among peers at their schools. The youth researchers used PV to disseminate findings in scripted stories to increase reach and engage their peers in substance use prevention. Evaluation findings showed a reduction in 30 day alcohol use among West Hartford high school students over the four year period of the campaign.
