How Teaching Research Design Advances Applied Anthropology
Mastery of research design options offers a powerful tool in the Applied Anthropologist's toolkit. Because policy makers depend upon reliable evidence – and not just debates – applied anthropologists need to be aware of the strengths and weaknesses in data collection methods and designs to offer reasonable and strong approaches to problem solving. Future applied anthropologists may find themselves in situations where a variety of data collection …
The Benefits of Using Cultural Domain Analysis in Applied Anthropology
Cultural domain analysis (CDA) is a suite of methods and analytical techniques that allow researchers to rapidly and reliably understand the ways in which people conceptualize their world. Consisting of various approaches, including free lists, pile sorts, and related interview techniques, CDA is an effective means of systematically identifying shared knowledge. This article briefly reviews the strengths of this approach, and highlights examples …
Validating cultural models with cultural consensus theory
Migration and livelihood constellations
Research on migration has become more challenging due to at least four factors: (1) more complex migration traditions; (2) the development of migration economies that engage many types of migrants from ever more social and cultural backgrounds; (3) increasing likelihood of climate change‐driven environmental migration; and (4) increasing likelihood of conflict‐based migration in some contexts. These developments have shaken economic theories of m…
Measuring Agreement in Participatory Mapping
This article offers a way to measure agreement in participatory mapping. We asked subject matter experts (SMEs) to draw where Sudanese ethnic groups were located on a map. We then used an eigenanalysis approach to determine whether SMEs agreed on the location of ethnic groups. We used minimum residual factor analysis to assess the extent of interinformant agreement among SMEs' judgments of four ethnic groups' spatial locations. Although we found …
Rapid ethnographic assessment for cultural mapping
Improving University Research Value
This article investigates the current data management practices of university researchers at an Intermountain West land-grant research university in the United States. Key findings suggest that researchers are primarily focused on the collection and housing of research data. However, additional research value exists within the other life cycle stages for research data-specifically in the stages of delivery and maintenance. These stages are where …
Environmental Social Sciences
The relationship between human communities and the environment is extremely complex. In order to resolve the issues involved with this relationship, interdisciplinary research combining natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities is necessary. In this 2010 book, specialists summarise methods and research strategies for various aspects of social research devoted to environmental issues. Each chapter is illustrated with ethnographic and envir…
Finding Common Ground in the Commons
Population growth in U.S. coastal areas has spawned conflicts due to increasing competition between commercial and leisure uses of coastal resources. Organizations representing different user groups routinely misrepresent the causes and severity of environmental stresses to further their political and economic agendas, often predicting extinctions of fish and shellfish and undermining balanced and reasoned management alternatives. This article il…
The Active Participant-Observer
Participant observation approaches have been important components of ethnographic research. Generally, however, observation has been emphasized over participation. But there are many ethnographic contexts in which active participation by the ethnographer is advantageous, if not essential, to the collection of quality data. This article provides a framework for analyzing the potential benefits of an ethnographer participating in an active role in …
Social roles and the evolution of networks in extreme and isolated environments
This article reports on the evolution of network structure as it relates to formal and informal social roles in well-bounded, isolated groups. Research was conducted at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. Data were collected on crewmembers' networks of social interaction over each of three winter-over periods, when the station is completely isolated. In addition, data were collected on the informal roles played by crewmembers (e.g., instrument…

Promoting Sportfishing Development in Puerto Rico
Tourist development often depends on the development of specific tourist activities (e.g., sportfishing), combined with new and creative approaches to promoting areas as tourist destinations. Travel agents occupy crucial positions in this process, acting as information brokers between tourists and tourist destinations. Their perceptions of tourist destinations influence their promotion behaviors. Methods that model perceptions using judged simila…
Controlling Common Property
Applications of social science theory to fisheries management
Funding support, and the realization by fishery managers that social science research has much to offer in the management process, have combined to create a framework for important research activity in recent years. This paper describes three projects of varying breadth, depth, and scope in which social scientific scholarship has both theoretical and applied value. The first project was a research effort in which funding first allowed for the con…
Injury and therapy
Peasant fishers throughout Latin America and the Caribbean typically combine fishing with wage labor to varying degrees. Certain scholars have interpreted this as a reflection of incomplete incorporation into capitalist spheres of influence, where contradictions emerge as groups attempt to maintain economic and cultural autonomy while being subordinated to capitalist relations of production. In this article we investigate the conceptual and polit…
Social Structure and Technology Transfer
Issues surrounding technology transfer and the diffusion of innovations have been a major focus of social scientists. The rush to explore this area, however, has yielded a bewildering array of hypotheses and subsequent findings, as is evident from Everett Rogers's work (Communication of Innovations [New York, Free Press, 1983]). Most of the earlier work employed survey techniques in which the dependent variable, adoption, was related to a number …
A Fishery in Transition
COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN HAVE BEEN characterized as a homogeneous collection of economically conservative, staunchly independent individuals living in relatively rural, highly integrated communities along the coast. Several factors are presently affecting these traditional communities, changing their character and changing commercial fishing itself. These include consequences of urbanization such as the institution of zoning ordinances, increasing po…
Estimating relational attributes from snowball samples through simulation
Form or Function
Ethnobiologists debate whether folk biological classifiers are natural historians attending primarily to the morphology of organisms or are pragmatists concerned primarily with utility. We argue that this question is best understood as a problem in intracultural variation: the relative importance of form and function depends on who is asked to judge the similarity of organisms as well as how they are asked to judge it. We find that expert fisherm…

An Occupation in Transition
This study examines certain changes taking place within the occupational world of commercial fishermen in the United States. An ethnographic description of fishing in Bristol Bay, Alaska, is provided. This fishery is regarded as an exemplar of 'modern' fishing and is shown to contrast sharply with 'traditional' fishing. Some of the more critical social and economic features of fishing as an occupation are translated into analytic variables for co…

The role of cultural context in the development of low‐capital ocean leisure activities
The ocean beaches of the United States are an economically important resource. As American culture has become increasingly more preoccupied with leisure activities, however, traditional commercial interests along the beach have been replaced by expressive activities. In terms of the number of participants, the vast majority of beach users have performed their leisure activities without the benefit of sophisticated equipment or infrastructure, and…
