Portrayal of Delta-8 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on YouTube
BACKGROUND: Following the United States (U.S.) Federal Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, many retailers began selling intoxicating cannabis products, including Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) as "hemp," claiming that it provided a legal loophole to do so. This qualitative study assessed Delta-8 THC messaging on YouTube, the world's second-most visited website. METHODS: In 2022, two researchers searched the terms "Delta 8" and "Delta-8" on Y…
"Consuming unregulated "diet weed: The social context of motivations and risk among users of Delta-8 THC
A relatively novel, laboratory-produced, hemp-derived psychoactive cannabinoid called "Delta-8 THC" has become widely available to consumers since 2020. Lack of federal oversight and a loose patchwork of regulations by states have resulted in numerous "adverse events" reported by poison control centers and the CDC, and even warnings from the industry itself. Yet consumer demand for cannabinoids like Delta-8 THC has risen sharply. Published social…

Consumer Genetics: What About Informed Consent
With the dramatic rise in Direct-to-Consumer Genetics has come increasing concern for the potential abuse of consumer health data, often presumed confidential. Companies exchange and monetize their customers’ DNA in a competitive marketplace, obtaining consent through complex legal contracts that consumers must sign. However, drawing on ethnographic data, we show that this consent is rarely “informed.” Particular concerns include lack of contract…
Applied Anthropology and Public Health
This article details the contributions of applied anthropology to public health, focusing on complementary and divergent interests, orientations, and methods. We emphasize areas where productive collaborations have occurred around convergent topics such as infectious and chronic disease, policy, interventions, and analysis of the social, political, and economic contexts that structure the conditions of health. Public health’s emphasis on communit…
Are These "Wings" or a "Jet Pack?" Students Assess the Informal Curriculum of the UNT Online Master's Program
A growing literature evaluates online learning outcomes and pedagogy within the virtual classroom, though assessments of entire online programs are comparatively rare. As online learning takes place through multiple modalities in multiple contexts, we were particularly eager to explore the informal and hidden curricula within the University of North Texas (UNT) online program in applied anthropology-the structural situations and circumstances of …
It's Not Just Academic: The Importance of Program Development in Applied Anthropology Education
In this article we consider applied anthropology as it exists at the program level. While individual faculty can promote applied training, sustainability in applied education is only possible when entire faculties-and the college and university administrations that provide the necessary financial, structural, and social support-are committed to this approach. While many options for program development exist, we argue that being aware of what othe…
Learning from Parents of Children with Childhood Asthma
Families of children with asthma have to shoulder immense burdens as part of care, and yet the social science literature on their experiences is not well developed or up-to-date. As part of a class project in Anthropology and Public Health, we interviewed eleven parents about their experiences with a chronically ill child and uncovered important themes about emotions, learning, assessments of risk, and control. We assert that asking parents about…

Attack of the Grotesque: Suffering, Sleep Paralysis, and Distress during the Sierra Leone War
Beware the njombo-bla , they just want to part your legs like THIS (CLAP)! Song sung by schoolgirls, Kenema, Sierra Leone, 1997 Mariama was a displaced woman in her early thirties from Kailahun, Sierra Leone. I met her in the town of Kenema in eastern Sierra Leone in 1997, at a point during the eleven-year war when the whole world seemed to turn upside down. A military coup had displaced the president, and the rebels were invited to become part o…

What Really Happened to the 1960s: How Mass Media Culture Failed American Democracy
Edward P. Morgan concluded in The 60s Experience: Hard Lessons about Modern America (1991) that “sixties movements converged in expressing the quest for community,” a recurring objective that united divergent movements striving for participatory democracy (p. 282). In the provocative What Really Happened to the 1960s, Morgan returns to democracy’s centrality. In thirteen chapters, he revisits events parsed in the first book, explores the influenc…

Building a Sense of Community in an Online Class
Three years ago Dimai and Ebner commented that their Google search for "learning community" produced over six million hits. Checking in 2006, we found the number of hits approaching nine million. What are all those pages talking about? Even those who work in the field of online education express their concern about "hype"—the idea that "community" is a buzzword and that only rarely does the writing about learning communities rise above platitudes…
Strangers in a Strange Land: Anthropologists do Cost Benefit Analyses
As an applied anthropologist based at a university, I occasionally get requests from public or private groups to do contract work or consultancies. In summer 2005 I received one such request from a child-mental health program in a nearby metropolitan city. They needed a cost-benefit analysis done as part of their mid-term program evaluation. They had heard that I do community assessments and quantitative data analysis, and asked me to submit a co…
Ethnography in Evaluation: Uncovering Hidden Costs and Benefits in Child Mental Health
This article discusses the application of ethnography to the design and implementation of an anthropologically informed cost-benefit analysis, of a program for families of children with severe emotional disorders. Ethnography proved particularly useful at revealing monetary costs and benefits for various stakeholders not included in traditional evaluations or assessments, as well as identifying costs avoided and non-quantifiable
Violence and the Body: Somatic Expressions of Trauma and Vulnerability during War
Drawing on ethnographic research conducted along the Sierra Leone-Guinea border during wartime, this article explores the contested nature of the body and bodily illness during times of spectacular political violence. For both perpetrators and survivors of conflict, the body and bodily illness became tools over which each sought to control definitions of Self and identity. Finally, the article considers emic interpretations and contested meanings…

The Legacy of the Tank: The Violence of Peace
In 1997, after weeks of watching skirmishes between soldiers and Kamajoh militia, and weeks of being startled during my fieldwork by dead bodies appearing on Kenema's streets, a Guinean tank rolled through town. You could hear it minutes before it arrived—its engines were roaring and thunderous; it seemed everyone stopped whatever they were doing and watched it roll by, speechless. The tank never stopped, continuing right through the middle of to…

Environmental Influences on Safer Sex in Young Gay Men: A Situational Presentation Approach to Measuring Influences on Sexual Health
The Oedipvs of Seneca: An Imperial Tragedy
Aristotle in the Poetics repeatedly turned to the Oedipus Tyrannus for what he believed to be the finest examples of plot, structure, characterisation, and moral content in tragedy. Seneca's Oedipus contrasts with Sophocles' to a quite extraordinary degree; and it is these same elements, so much admired in Sophocles, which in Seneca are handled so differently. It is evident that Seneca was not in any sense trying to emulate Sophocles, or to meet …
