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.

Community Resilience in the Face of Natural and Manmade Disasters: Stories from the Field and the Role of Social Scientists. The increasing number and intensity of natural and manmade disasters have created challenges to the sustainability of local communities across the globe. The record number of climate disasters recently, as well as critical manmade disasters in communities far and wide, have resulted in widespread tragedy, but these events have also produced substantial learning opportunities and the emergence of positive community adaptations. This collection of papers and reflections examines recent stories of community resilience in the face of devastating climate and manmade events and questions the role of social scientists in understanding recovery experiences and developing adaptation strategies for the future.
Session took place in Portland, OR at the 79th Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology in March 2019.

Designs for Applied Anthropology
CHAIR: FISHER, Josh (WWU)
ZHANG, Shaozeng (OR State U) Participatory Design of “Smart Forest” in the Brazilian Amazon Using Smart Phones, Apps, Algorithms and Ethnographic Methods
KIESSLING, Brittany and MAXWELL, Keely (EPA) Designing an Applied Anthropology for Government Institutions
RIOS, Jodi (UC Davis) Undisciplining Research: The Opportunities and Limitations of a DesignThinking Approach
FISHER, Josh (WWU) and NADING, Alex (Brown U) Designs for Buen Vivir: Toward a Cohort-Model of Participatory Research
DISCUSSANT: ESCOBAR, Arturo (UNCCH)
Designs for Applied Anthropology. Design has long occupied anthropological practice. From research to writing and teaching to intervention, design is the bridge between matter and form, vision and reality. The term calls to mind the creative capacity of human beings to build and negotiate the diverse worlds. This panel belongs to the special track, “Designs for Turbulent Times,” that seeks to rethink the application of anthropology as less concerned with producing forms and things for the world as it is, and more with engaging worlds and world-making practices that may come to be. Topics include: development, the commons, pedagogy, activism, and “applied” anthropology.

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!
