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.

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.
