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.

ABSTRACT:
KRONENFELD, David B. (UCR, Kronenfeld Design) and ANDERSON, Eugene N. (UCR) Cultural Models Their Nature and Applications, Parts I-III. We explore a ‘cultural models’ approach to culturally structured or interpreted action. Cultural models can be defined as collectively held, distributed cognitive structures that serve as a repository of cultural knowledge for a cultural community. Our participants will discuss different ways of theorizing cultural models, different types of cultural models and methods for studying them, the role of cultural models in anthropology, 99 SESSION ABSTRACTS and the value of cultural models for applied research. Examples include diachronic change and synchronic work on migration, Maya farming, service provision, psychotherapy, credit union organization, tourism and economic development, ownership of intangibles, and machine management.

Applying Anthropology to Gender-based Violence: Global Response, Local Practices, Part I
CHAIRS: WIES, Jennifer R. (EKU) and HALDANE, Hillary J. (Quinnipiac U)
BESKE, Melissa A. (Palmer Trinity Sch) Employing Scholar-Activism to Counter Intimate Partner Violence in Belize FRIEDERIC, Karin (WFU) Resurrecting the “Macho”: Interventions in Gender Based Violence in Rural Ecuador WIRTZ, Elizabeth (Purdue U) Putting ‘Gender’ back into Gender-Based Violence: Gendered Structural Violence against Refugee Men as a Catalyst for Violence against Women WIES, Jennifer R. (EKU) Structural Violence, Gender-Based Violence, and Future Directions for Applied Anthropology
ABSTRACT:
WIES, Jennifer R. (EKU) and HALDANE, Hillary J. (Quinnipiac U) Applying Anthropology to Gender-based Violence Global Response, Local Practices, Part I. These panels focus on the current state of gender-based violence studies in the discipline of anthropology by examining three main areas: the contribution of a gender-based violence focus on the discipline; the current trends in gender-based violence studies; and recommendations for the future direction of gender-based violence in anthropology. The panelists will discuss their own research on genderbased violence with particular attention to applied outcomes, and reflect on pathways towards more engaged and holistic approaches to gender-based violence prevention and intervention. Many of the panelists will discuss the lacunae in the field, and challenge certain assumptions that have restrained theorizing gender-based violence to date.

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!
