(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. 
 
Session took place in Vancouver, B.C. Canada at the 76th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology, March 29 - April 2, 2016.

DISCUSSANT: SARGENT, Carolyn (WUSTL)
 
ABSTRACT:
CARNEY, Megan (U Wash) and SOOD, Anubha (SMU) Ethnographies of Migrant Mental Health in the United States. Studies show increased rates of psychiatric illnesses in migrant populations. Research seeking to explain this rate disparity focuses on risk factors such as the deprived environments and marginalization of immigrant communities. However, the search for psychosocial risk factors obscures questions of meaning and experience of immigration and mental suffering. This panel focuses on the narratives of immigrants with psychiatric diagnoses to explore the conceptual affinity of the phenomena of psychiatric illnesses and immigration, of how the notions of disruption in life narratives in both these ‘states of being’ lead to suffering translated as psychiatric illness.

Environmental Anthropology and Climate Change: Methodological Innovations and Advancements for Social Science in the Digital Age - Q&A

Environmental Anthropology and Climate Change: Methodological Innovations and Advancements for Social Science in the Digital Age 
CHAIRS: ZANOTTI, Laura and SUISEEYA, Kimberly R. Marion (Purdue U), WILMOT, Fiona (Independent) Mangrove Matters?: A Foray into Proproots Post-Modernism 
KITNER, Kathi R. (Intel Labs) A Collaborative Collage: The Human Side of the Internet of Things
WENTWORTH, Chelsea (High Point U) Using Visual Cognitive Elicitation in Environmental Anthropology
 ZANOTTI, Laura and SUISEEYA, Kimberly R. Marion (Purdue U) From Presence to Influence: Examining the Politics of Indigenous Representation in Global Environmental Governance
 
ABSTRACT:
ZANOTTI, Laura and SUISEEYA, Kimberly R. Marion (Purdue U) Environmental Anthropology and Climate Change Methodological Innovations and Advancements for Social Science in the Digital Age. The 21st Conference of Parties to the 2015 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change held in Paris, France marks almost thirty years of climate negotiations, assessments, and panels. Within environmental anthropology, political ecology frameworks have sought to attend to the increasingly multi-scalar and nested contexts in which climate change and environmental governance takes place. This panel addresses the possibilities, limitations, and ethical considerations of mixed, plural and digital methods within environmental anthropology and their effectiveness at addressing the spatial and temporal scales at which local to global environmental governance is currently enacted.
