Applied Anthropology and its Practice
In order to assess the baseline ideas about applied anthropology held by a class of anthropology graduate students, the class participated in several pedagogical activities, both qualitative and quantitative. Students analyzed the results of the qualitative activity, a self-reflection on the nature of applied anthropology and the role of practice within it, and the quantitative activity, a cultural domain analysis using free listing, pile sorting…
Linking Estuarine Research to Local Community Heritage & Environmental Values
The Chesapeake Bay watershed has entered a period of great environmental and socioeconomic transformation. The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States, boasting a highly productive watershed with a complex ecosystem rich in plant vegetation, marine resources, and wildlife. The Bay resonates with cultural significance throughout the mid-Atlantic region, encompassing divergent environmental values and uses. Therefore, the Bay att…
Uses of Applied Ethnography by Master’s Level Students in Community, Health and Development Projects
The papers in this issue represent the tremendous ethnographic potential that exists in our discipline at the level of students seeking Master's degrees in applied anthropology. While the time frame on which these papers is based is much shorter than equivalent PhD level ethnography, and thus the extent and depth of information collected is restricted, and the theoretical and methodological sophistication is understandably not as developed as wha…
Building a Constituency for Applied Environmental Anthropology Through Research
Late in the summer of 1997, three fish kills in Maryland tributaries to the Chesapeake Bay, linked to toxic blooms of the marine microorganism Pfiesteria piscicida, prompted widespread public and scientific concern. Pfiesteria is a recently discovered dinoflagellate, which, under ecological conditions not fully understood, produces toxins that cause fish mortality and morbidity. Direct human exposure to these toxins can result in skin and eye irr…
