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.

Celebrating the Toolkit II: Community-Based Culturally Informed Collaborative Research Projects in Education
CHAIRS: LECOMPTE, Margaret D. (UC-Boulder) and LUDWIG, Sheryl A. (Denver U)
JUDD, Joel (SUU) Teacher Research: Empowering Social and Academic Change
AGUILERA-BLACK BEAR, Dorothy (Independent), JUDD, Joel (SUU), VAN DER WEY, Dolores (SFU), MARTINEZ, Clara A. (Naco Rsch Inst), and YAZZIE-MINTZ, Tarajean (American Indian Coll Fund) Youth-PAR and Community Change for Native American Youth and School Leaders

MARTINEZ, Clara A. (Naco Rsch Inst) Native American Educational Self-Determination and Food Sovereignty YAZZIE-MINTZ, Tarajean (American Indian Coll Fund) From Places of Strength: Cultivating Early Learning Opportunities from within Native Communities
ABSTRACT:
LECOMPTE, Margaret D. (UC-Boulder) and LUDWIG, Sheryl A. (Denver U) Celebrating the Toolkit II Community-Based Culturally Informed Collaborative Research Projects in Education. While schools quintessentially are located in communities, they often reflect White, middle class mainstream culture, rather than the diverse and non-European-American populations they serve. The Ethnographer’s Toolkit outlines strategies for building multidisciplinary and inter-sectoral partnerships among public schools, marginalized communities, funding agencies, and community agencies to improve the success of students who otherwise would struggle educationally. These papers highlight such partnerships, as implemented by ethnographically-informed teachers together with community activists, institutional leaders, local elders, and key informants. They can be implemented in any community; these projects were initiated by educators and others in language minority and Native American communities.
Session took place in Vancouver, B.C. Canada at the 76th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology, March 29 - April 2, 2016.

ABSTRACT:
SCHENSUL, Jean (ICR) and LECOMPTE, Margaret (UC-Boulder) Celebrating the Ethnographer’s Toolkit I Advances in Culturally Based Community Research Methods for Social Change. The Ethnographer’s Toolkit is a major effort to delineate mixed methods participatory action research in communities. Its seven volumes are used by novices, academics, and community researchers of all ages. Three sessions celebrate the 2nd edition, including new books on research modeling (II), ethics and ethnography (VI) and Ethnography in Action (VII), a unique approach to community research for change. Session I highlights Toolkit authors advancing work on ethnography for social justice, systems modeling, interfacing “big data” with participatory local research, participatory videography for prevention and ethnography for community development. The session begins and ends with author/editor reflections.
Session took place in Vancouver, B.C. Canada at the 76th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology, March 29 - April 2, 2016.

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!
