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…
No one should die alone on our watch
Dying alone has never been a normative event in our society. The coronavirus pandemic has precipitously created an environment of fear and panic, leading to the elimination of the dying vigil as a societal spiritual norm. Many patients have died, and continue to die, alone in their beds without their families or loved ones. Protection of healthcare workers and mitigation of legal liability are purported to be valid justifications for policies tha…

Understanding Food Insecurity Among College Students
Food insecurity among college students is higher than the national average of 12.7 percent. Prevalence studies report a range of 14-59 percent of students being food insecure at some point during their college career. This article discusses the meaning and experience of food insecurity among students, its impact on motivation and academic success, and participant suggestions for local solutions. An ethnographic, exploratory study was conducted, i…
Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, and Community Health Centers under the Affordable Care Act
Critical medical anthropology has extensively critiqued biomedicine's hegemonic structure that places doctors in control of knowledge and power and casts patients as depersonalized recipients of treatment (not care). Yet in the United States, an increase in collaborative models of health care impacts not only the types of providers patients see for care but also how that care is delivered. Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA…
Synonyms for Engagement
This article examines the path toward engagement at the university level, college level, and departmental level at the University of North Texas (UNT). We explore the history of concepts such as public service, applied research, service learning, outreach, and community engagement at UNT by examining the university's strategic goals and the expansion of new programs. We highlight the tensions that emerge from inconsistencies in strategic goals at…
On Becoming an Applied Anthropologist
The academic ritual of commencement—donning the cap and gown, walking across the stage, moving the tassel from one side to the other—is a symbolic passage from amateur to professional. It is as though the stage is a bridge into expert territory where graduates are now Anthropologists, with a capital "A." No longer protected by the safety net of professors and studies, they are left to be anthropologists on their own. Years are spent learning the …
Transformation of Graduate Education in Applied Anthropology in the U.S
When engaged in doctoral research (1972) on urban squatter settlements in the Philippines, Feldman’s approach was guided by the pedagogy of Paulo Freire (2005[orig.1970]), which gratefully steered his behaviour away from the typical ‘Ugly American’ abroad in the world at the time (during the Vietnam War). Feldman became aware of the notions of ‘teacher-student’ and of ‘student-teacher’ primarily through his discussions with two Filipino doctors, …
Retention of Physician Assistants in Rural Health Clinics
Context: Improvement of rural health care access has been a guiding principle of federal and state policy regarding physician assistants (PAs). Purpose: To determine the factors that influence autonomous rural PAs (who work less than 8 hours per week with their supervising physician) to remain in remote locations. Methods: A qualitative exploratory study was undertaken in 8 rural Texas towns, including direct observation of clinics, semi‐structur…
Field Projects and the Dilemma of Distance
The challenges of online teaching are many and difficult. An important challenge for an applied anthropology graduate program is how to provide the students with a valid, team, field experience. In this article the authors discuss the many issues they are finding in constructing a virtual ethnographic field experience. Both authors teach a course in the online program which requires such a field experience, and both have taught their courses in t…
