Exploring the cohesive and social potential of a territorial ecomuseum in eastern sicily
Thinking ethnographically with the work of Alberto Magnaghi, this paper explores the tensions and nuances of constructing ‘territory’ throuxgh the making of an ecomuseum in the Simeto River Valley in southern Italy. Conceptualised by Hugues de Varine and Henri Rivière, ecomuseums are community-based processes for reconstructing the material and immaterial signs of the past to revive a shared sense of heritage. Based on our engagement in a long-te…
The afterlife of CoPED: Entanglements and impacts of a participatory learning field school in Sicily
This paper critically explores the afterlife of CoPED, an international interdisciplinary participatory action field school in eastern Sicily from 2015 to 2022. Drawing on fieldnotes taken during the program reflection sessions, small group discussions, informal conversations during meals, and post-CoPED debriefings with community partners, I consider the long-term impact of the field school on the different types of participants-students and fac…
Life after progress: Near-Industrial commons and heritage-making in eastern Sicily
Traversing a space along the Simeto River, in southeastern Sicily, this article explores responses to and engagement in processes of commoning and heritagization through ecomuseums. Through an ethnographic analysis of interviews, collectively made maps, industrial features in the landscape, and Simeto Ecomuseum itineraries, we explore how participants in the Simeto Ecomuseum articulate and (re)organize boundaries and histories to give new meaning…

Food Roots & Today'S Pantry: The Multiple Meanings of 'Thrifty Know-how' Among Older African American Women
In this article we put the themes of gender, agency, food tradition, and time, which are central to the food studies literature into conversation with the research on aging and food security to offer an intersectional analysis of older African-American women's foodways. In particular, we explore how income, age, gender, and time intertwine to inform older African-American women's everyday actions and activities related to food provisioning, inclu…

Class Conscious, Color-Blind: Examining the Dynamics of Food Access and the Justice Potential of Farmers Markets
Although often intended to address injustices in food access, farmers markets tend to cater to affluent communities, and to exclude on the basis of race and class. One means of addressing this is federal subsidy programs, like the Senior Farmers Market Nutritional Program (SFMNP). We explore the dynamics of the SFMNP program in Memphis' farmers market landscape in 2011. We examine the visible barriers experienced by SFMNP patrons to market access…
“Real Blackfellas”: Constructions and Meanings of Urban Indigenous Identity
Aboriginal people in Australia construct their identities in relationship to a state and public imaginary that places primacy on celebrating and preserving “traditional culture” and in turn regularly fails to recognize the impact of colonial history, state constructed definitions, and indigenous modes of identification. For Kooris in the suburban Sydney community of La Perouse, claiming and legitimating Aboriginality can be particularly challengi…
Embedding Service Learning in Engaged Scholarship at Research Institutions to Revitalize Metropolitan Neighborhoods
Over the past 2 decades, the form and function of teaching, research, and service activities labeled as community and civic engagement has increased. At the University of Memphis, the evolution of engaged scholarship has been strongly influenced by the grassroots-level participation of faculty who embraced service learning as an integral component of the engaged scholarship process centered on building community partnerships. In this article, we …
Practicing What We Preach: The Possibilities of Participatory Action Research With Faith-based Organizations
This article examines the role and methodologies of the anthropologist as practitioner working in faith-based development initiatives. In particular, the author discusses attempts to use a participatory action research (PAR) model to examine the current programs, congregational participation, and future community development activities of Saint Andrew African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church. The article examines how the FBO's traditional model o…
What Remains? Reconciling Repatriation, Aboriginal Culture, Representation and the Past
This paper uses the repatriation and ceremonial reburial of Indigenous remains to La Perouse, an Indigenous community in Sydney, as a lens through which to examine the cultural politics of representation and recognition that are central to contemporary Aboriginal identity construction. The return of the skeletal remains of 21 individuals highlights the role that representative bodies — past and present, individual and organizational — play in eng…
Books
This book makes me wonder why Australian \nhistorians have so readily agreed to \na history that starts at 1788. Perhaps the \nFirst Fleet's entertaining publishing enterprises \nhave been too seductive. Whereas \nhistorians may doubt that it is possible \nto write history without archival word \nmiddens, archaeologists doubt that one \ncan write without material discoveries. \nSources and methodological expertise \nhave created a major chasm bet…
