Food, Society, and Environment in Contemporary Ethnography (C&A) -Miller

Food, Society, and Environment in Contemporary Ethnography (C&A) 
CHAIR: ADAMS, Ryan (Lycoming Coll) 
DISCUSSANTS: SEXTON, Lucy and LOZADA JR. Eriberto P. (Davidson Coll) “Making the Land Healthy”: Food Safety, Sustainability, and the ‘New Chinese Farmer’ 
ADAMS, Ryan (Lycoming Coll) Local and Organic: Distinct Food Movements in Brooklyn 
MILLER, Theresa (U Oxford) Sustainability and Change: Indigenous Bio-Cultural Diversity Conservation in Brazil PARKER, Jason Shaw (U Vermont) Shifting Visions of the U.S. Food System(s) and Structural Barriers to Sustainability
 
ABSTRACT:
ADAMS, Ryan (Lycoming Coll) Food, Society, and Environment in Contemporary Ethnography. Drawing on a geographically varied set of examples ranging across three continents, our panel examines the revitalized attention to food systems in contemporary ethnographic investigations. The panel demonstrates current theoretical approaches used to understand food practices and sustainability, exemplifying some of the ways anthropologists are making sense of the social and environmental impacts of food production, exchange, and consumption. Each paper develops a somewhat different aspect of the dynamic relationship between food system politics, sustainability, and culture, but together they illustrate the important place food plays once again in anthropological concerns with social and environmental change.

Environment and Extraction: Liabilities, Resistance, Legislation, and Inequality - Palmer

Environment and Extraction: Liabilities, Resistance, Legislation, and Inequality 
CHAIR: ERVIN, Alexander (U Saskatchewan) 
DISCUSSANTS: MATISOFF, Adina (UCLA) The Block 113 Dialogue: The Role of Activism in Attaining Chinese Corporate Accountability to Society in Peru 
PALMER, Andie (U Alberta) Aboriginal Title and Gold at $1200 Per Ounce: A First Test Case in Canada 
MOSES, Joshua (Haverford Coll) and DOMBROWSKI, Kirk (UN-Lincoln) A Different Kind of Ecological Refugee: Migration and Emerging Inequalities in Northern Labrador 
ERVIN, Alexander (U Saskatchewan) Saskatchewan First Nations and Settler Environmental Movements in Resistance to Uranium Extraction
 
ABSTRACT:
ERVIN, Alexander (U Saskatchewan) Environment and Extraction: Liabilities, Resistance, Legislation, and Inequality. Concerns surrounding the relationship between extraction and the environment crosscut the specific resource under development.  From gold and uranium in Canada to coal and oil in Columbia and Peru, conflict arises over land and economics; legislated protections are questionable, and groups mount varying levels of resistance and response.  This session examines environmental and economic investment issues as they affect First Nations, including Tsilhqot’in, Inuit and Cree, Dene, and Metis in Canada, as well as the broad ramifications of coal mining in Cesar, Columbia and oil extraction in Peru.

Ebola: Applied Social Science - Q&A

Ebola: Applied Social Science 
CHAIRS: KUNSTADTER, Peter (PHPT), AMAYA-BURNS, Alba (Duke U & Duke Kunshan U), BURNS, Allan (UF)
ROUNDTABLE PARTICIPANTS: KUNSTADTER, Peter (PHPT), AMAYA-BURNS, Alba (Duke U & Duke Kunshan U), BURNS, Allan (UF), and SCHACHT REISINGER, Heather (CADRE - Iowa City VAHCS)
 
ABSTRACT:
KUNSTADTER, Peter (PHPT), AMAYA-BURNS, Alba (Duke U & Duke Kunshan U), and BURNS, Allan (UF) Ebola: Applied Social Science. Exponential increase of the Ebola epidemic has potential to become the biggest health and socio-economic disaster since the 1918 flu, and poses challenges-opportunities to social sciences applied to public health and biomedicine.   Country expertise should be combined with comparative and historical applied medical anthropology insights.  Current responses often fail to integrate lessons learned from HIV/AIDS, SARS, Bird flu and Ebola relevant to international interventions, public health, health education and community responses, and anticipation of Ebola’s demographic, socioeconomic consequences.  Because the epidemic, research and interventions are changing so rapidly, makeup of the panel and details of topics covered will be provided shortly before the meeting.  We will suggest forming an SfAA Ebola interest group
