"Engaged Anthropology on "The Last Frontier
The distinction between engaged/applied anthropology and traditional anthropology has not been rigid in Alaska since the early 1970s. Why? And how has this engagement occurred for four decades at the University of Alaska Anchorage? This paper describes the socio-political realities of Alaska and how faculty and students responded in their engaged research, teaching, and service. Cultural and linguistic anthropologists engaged with a variety of Al…
Transformation of Graduate Education in Applied Anthropology in the U.S
When engaged in doctoral research (1972) on urban squatter settlements in the Philippines, Feldman’s approach was guided by the pedagogy of Paulo Freire (2005[orig.1970]), which gratefully steered his behaviour away from the typical ‘Ugly American’ abroad in the world at the time (during the Vietnam War). Feldman became aware of the notions of ‘teacher-student’ and of ‘student-teacher’ primarily through his discussions with two Filipino doctors, …
Socioeconomic Structures and Mate Selection among Urban Populations in Developing Regions
Nearly half the population of developing nations now reside in urban centers, attracting diverse ethnic groups from their surrounding rural regions. Anthropologists devoted considerable attention to documenting and understanding the mate selection norms and practices of these groups in their traditional settings and a plethora of descent and alliance theories ensued concerning this basic biosocial phenomenon. The investigation of these same group…

Up (and Down) The Anthropologist
Since arriving at the University of Alaska, Anchorage in 1973, I have been involved in projects related to various facets of Alaskan public policy. I have engaged in policy-related research and applied work in Alaska ill the following sequence; in 1975, on contract to the United States Department of the Interior to prepare the draft Environmental Impact Statement on human and cultural resources for an oil lease sale in the Gulf of Alaska; in 1976…
Anthropology and Public Policy in Alaska
The past and potential contributions of anthropology to public policy have been described andlor argued for by numerous writers in the past decade, but the primary application and concern have been at the national and international levels. The present paper continues this discussion, but focuses on state-level policy in Alaska. The work of three Alaskan anthropologists is presented; they have made significant contributions to policy in the areas …
Ethnohistory and the Anthropologist as Expert Witness in Legal Disputes
Alaska is only beginning to address the questions related to aboriginal title; the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act did determine the broad outline of the land claims issue among Native Alaskan peoples, but refinements of the settlement will take decades to resolve. Anthropological expert witness testimony is being requested in legal disputes arising as a result of the 1971 act; one such dispute provides the point of departure for this es…
Social Norms, the Self, and Sociobiology
A. I. Hallowell tried to turn anthropology towards a sociobiology while the former field was still strongly opposed to any consideration of the evolution of human behavior. His work is of more than historical interest, however, because he stressed the evolution of the human ability to internalize social norms and evaluate self and others in terms of them. This ability is the basis of our species's trait of cultural rather than biological adaptati…
Deviation, Demography, and Development
Modernization may be conceived as a deviation amplifying mechanism through which change is intensified and accelerated. One of the by-products of deviation amplification is the increase of variation between different components of the system being modernized. Anthropologists are the best situated social scientists to study this type of change, although they have the poorest methodological equipment for doing so.Demographic indices have a number o…
