Introduction to Reflections and Reports on the Past, Present, and Future of Applied Anthropology and Applied Anthropological Research
Whether one argues for "practicing anthropology," "applied anthropology," "engaged anthropology," or some other term for what anthropologists do who are oriented more towards projects that directly benefit non-academic sectors, professionals are clearly advancing the significant role anthropology is playing in the contemporary transglobal economic system and the specific human-focused problems it encourages. All 11 articles in this intriguing set…
The "value" of dialect as object: The case of Appalachian English
This paper focuses on whether the concept of "speech variety" has value as a material-like "object" and whether academic research and outreach study a particular variety can "profit" both community residents using the variety and the academic community valuing the research on it. It examines these issues by exploring how economic processes of "valuation" apply to the discursive circulation of the proper noun Appalachian English and its logotype A…
Introduction to Ethics, Methods, and Models
This interesting issue of Practicing Anthropology brings together eight individually submitted articles that cluster around topics of ethics, models, and methods for conducting applied anthropology projects in private and governmental sectors. While the various themes of the articles range from how international representatives working at the
Introducción a Ética, Métodos y Modelos
Esta interesante edición de Antropología Práctica, reúne ocho artículos individualmente escritos sobre una variedad de temas relacionados con la ética, los modelos y los métodos de elaborar proyectos de antropología aplicada en sectores privados y gubernamentales. Todos estos artículos traen informaciones y reflexiones sobre la destreza de ser un/a antropólogo/a practicante
Introduction to Community Projects, Environmental Management, and Brands
In addition to eight fine articles by applied anthropologists, this issue of Practicing Anthropology opens up two new dimensions not commonly addressed in this journal. First is that this issue continues to have its introduction in Spanish as well as English. I offer my thanks to translator Nancy Lopez-Romero who took on the task. Second is that the end of this issue contains a reader response section in which medical anthropologist and SfAA fell…

Introduction: Violence, Commodification, Precarity, and Methodologies
This issue of Practicing Anthropology brings together articles that cluster into three distinct thematic areas. The first area is that of interethnic violence induced by the United States military occupation of a foreign country. Second is how applied anthropologists are or could be working to mitigate the exploitation or eradication of marginalized groups under neoliberal global economics. Finally are discussions of how applied anthropological m…
An Introductory Message from the Practicing Anthropology Editor
This issue of Practicing Anthropology, guest edited by University of Maryland Professor and Applied Anthropologist, Judith Freidenberg, offers a new addition to our usual format of short, reflective pieces on applied anthropological research by professional anthropologists. Judith kindly agreed to translate her introduction into her first language of Spanish, thus opening up her issue on immigration to a new audience for this journal. Given that …

Introduction to Partially Guest-Edited Issue
How undergraduates become committed to or influenced by applied anthropological approaches, stances, or ethics is often omitted within the corpus of anthropological publications. Yet the transformative experiences they can have when "in the field" are often life changing, and have the potential to impact nonanthropologists more significantly than can more professional or academic writing through the affect and experiential immediacy expressed in …
Introduction to Complexities of Migration, Movement, and Change
The title for this issue emerged from common themes expressed in the set of individually volunteered articles that comprise this issue. All of the articles coalesce around something to do with instability or impermanence, with the kinds of replacements and displacements that typify contemporary cultural fluidity and fragmentation in response to transglobal neoliberal socioeconomics. All but one offer reflective commentary on applied anthropologic…
Introduction: Transformations and Discoveries from the Field
The broad title for this issue of Practicing Anthropology captures a number of axiomatic themes in applied anthropology illuminated by authors of these individually submitted articles. Among these themes are those of advocacy, empowerment, civic engagement, and critical reflection on the goals and ideologies of the profession. The articles in this issue address these themes through ethnographic research applied to projects designed to improve dif…
The Melungeon Identity Movement and the Construction of Appalachian Whiteness
Racial classification in the United States is ultimately binary, categorizing individuals as "white" or "nonwhite." How this binary system is discursively constituted depends upon the ways in which elements of a repertoire interconnect to distribute or consolidate power and privilege across discursive contexts. Circulation of the revitalized lexeme Melungeon as a valued "object" within Appalachian discourse reveals linguistic processes by which w…
