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.

User-Centered Approaches to Designing Programs, Products, and Processes
CHAIR: SHADE, Molly (Hach)
SHADE, Molly (Hach) Agile Anthropology: Adapting our Discipline to Software Development
BEYER, Molly (UNT) Bringing Anthropological Insights to Human-Centered Design (HCD): Using Hydraulic Fracturing in Denton, Texas as a Case Study for Designing Community Resilience
PAHL, Shane (ABCO) It’s Never Been a Problem Before: How to Introduce and Manage Environmental, Health & Safety Programs
SARMIENTO, John (UNT) Observing Curriculum Usability with an Anthropologist Lens: An mHealth Case Study ROTH, Heather S. (UNT) Advocating for the End User: Anthropology in Data Warehousing
ABSTRACT:
SHADE, Molly (Hach) User-Centered Approaches to Designing Programs, Products, and Processes. This panel explores how user-centered research, reinforced with anthropological theories and methods, effectively produces solutions in programs, products, and processes. We present a collection of five unique case studies including data warehouse construction, mobile community health, environmental and occupational management, Agile software development, and community resilience design. Using these applied projects as a starting point, we intend to stimulate discussion about the many intersections of anthropology and design.
Session took place in Vancouver, B.C. Canada at the 76th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology, March 29 - April 2, 2016.

Why Forbes Magazine Is Wrong: Communicating the Value of Anthropology, Part I
CHAIR: HIGGINS, Rylan (St Mary’s U)
HIGGINS, Rylan (Saint Mary’s U) Writing for the Public: Occasionally Hostile Encounters Wednesday, March 25 – Thursday, March 2625
DEAN, Erin (New Coll Florida) “Our Project”: Applying BARA’s Model of Community
MAZZEO, John (DePaul U) Household Production of Health and the Contributions of a Livelihoods Systems Framework for Community Health
PIEKIELEK, Jessica (S OR U) Mentoring Students to Articulate Anthropology’s Value: Teaching Applied Anthropology
BURKE, Brian J. (Appalachian State U) Useful to Whom?: Anthropological Collaborations with Community Activists to Challenge Capital, the State, and Scientific Expertise
DEUBEL, Tara F. (USF) Partnerships in Development: Adding Anthropological Value to Mixed-Method Team Research
Why Forbes Magazine Is Wrong: Communicating the Value of Anthropology, Part II
CHAIR: HIGGINS, Rylan (St Mary’s U)
DISCUSSANTS: AUSTIN, Diane (U Arizona), FINAN, Timothy (BARA)
ABSTRACT:
HIGGINS, Rylan (Saint Mary’s U) Why Forbes Magazine Is Wrong: Communicating the Value of Anthropology, Parts I-II. Anthropology is under pressure to demonstrate its value within and beyond the academy. Students and faculty associated with the University of Arizona’s Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology have substantial experience in this regard. Building on a panel undertaken at last year’s SfAA annual meeting, this session will be part reflection, part projection. Panelists will reflect on how this value has been conveyed to non-anthropologists in the past and how it can be more effectively presented going forward. In theory, anthropological insights are meaningful and useful beyond academic journals and classrooms, but in practice actualizing this value often proves difficult.
Session took place in Pittsburgh, PA at the 75th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology in March 2015.

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!
