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.

CHAPMAN, Christina (IUPUI) Systems-Based and Integrated STEM Alternative Education Models

DISCUSSANT: QUINTILIANI, Karen (CSULB)
 
ABSTRACT:
HYATT, Susan B. and VOGT, Wendy (IUPUI) Using Ethnography to Understand How Policies Reproduce Social Inequality. In this session, MA students from IUPUI will present work that shows how they are using ethnographic methods to understand the production and reproduction of social inequalities in policies dealing with such issues as migration and immigration; refugee resettlement; schooling; and for US veterans returning from active combat.  These papers will showcase the importance of situating the experiences of subjugated populations within the context of the policies and programs that contour their lives.  They illustrate how, despite their explicit intentions, such interventions may actually serve to increase social exclusion rather than to combat it.

DISCUSSANTS: BENNETT, Linda A. (U Memphis), CHRISMAN, Noel J. (U Wash)
 
ABSTRACT:
WHITEFORD, Linda and KETCHER, Dana (USF) Social Anthropology+Social Marketing=Social Change. This session explores ‘continuity and change’ by investigating the interstices between social anthropology and social marketing as they are synergistically applied to health and behavior change research. The presentations will review how the World Health Organization/Pan American Health Organization have successfully employed social marketing theories and methods to effect behavior change, identify and present key foundational concepts that differentiate social marketing from commercial marketing, articulate the overlapping paradigms and methods found in social anthropology and social marketing, and provide an example of application in the USF WHO Collaborating Center for Social Marketing for Social Change.

DISCUSSANT: HAVILAND, Adam (Mich State U)
 
ABSTRACT:
HAVILAND, Adam and NARAYAN, Meenakshi (Mich State U) Researcher and Community Engagement: The Politics of Doing Research. Anthropological research necessarily entails engagement between the researcher and the community they work with. This panel will explore aspects of research that mediate researcher-community interactions with a focus on reflexively examining the roles of positionality, power, and subjectivity in our encounters with communities. Through consideration of issues including researcher positionality, community perceptions of research, and what researchers can really offer communities, this panel probes into the politics of doing research. Drawing on experiences with communities in Taiwan, Honduras, India, and the United States, panel members will highlight parallels and divergences in the politics of doing research in their respective locations.
