BRIODY, Elizabeth K. (Cultural Keys LLC) and EATON, Tara (Karmanos Cancer Inst) Moving Organizations into the Foreground, Part I: Theory and Practice in Anthropology. Anthropological practice in, for, and about organizations has been an important area of practice since the 1980s. Professional and applied anthropologists work in or consult for businesses, non- profit organizations, governmental agencies, and NGOs. Yet, SfAA and AAA conferences have few sessions that emphasize or address organizational issues. Part 1 of this session draws attention to the underrepresentation of organizational work and offers some reasons why. Topics covered include anthropological approaches to organizational work, the role of anthropologists in organizational and change management research, and the place of organization studies in Masters and Ph.D. training. Part 2 focuses on case studies.
 
Session took place in Pittsburgh, PA at the 75th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology in March 2015.

Part One: 2015 Michael Kearney Lecture STEPHEN, Lynn (U Oregon) Creating Pre-Emptive Suspects: National Security, Border Defense and Immigration Policy, 1980-Present

Michael Kearney Lecture STEPHEN, Lynn (U Oregon) Creating Pre-Emptive Suspects: National Security, Border Defense and Immigration Policy, 1980-Present
 
COMMENTATORS: CRUZ-TORRES, Maria L. (Arizona State U), HOLMES, Seth M. (UCBerkeley)
 
ABSTRACT: 
STEPHEN, Lynn (U Oregon) Creating Pre-Emptive Suspects: National Security, Border Defense and Immigration Policy, 1980-Present. U.S. trade, foreign, and immigration policy over the past fifty years play a large role in contemporary patterns of immigration to the U.S. from Mexico and Central America. This talk will provide a big-picture analysis of patterns of migration as well as touch individual experiences.  Topics will include: U.S. support of the Salvadoran and Guatemalan governments in civil wars during the 1970s and 1980s and promotion of policies of militarization since then; U.S. drug war policy which pushed cocaine and other drug transshipment to Mexico from the Caribbean and then into Central America; deportation of Salvadoran gang members from the U.S. to El Salvador; promotion of free trade agreements which greatly increased economic inequality and poverty in the region; the construction of border walls which pushed migration traffic into desert corridors controlled by organized crime; the lack of any comprehensive immigration policy in the U.S. since the mid-1980s, the restructuring of the U.S. economy as a service economy with a high demand for immigrant labor; the importance of family unification as a driver of migration.
