Taking a bite out of the sex trafficking epidemic: Disordered eating symptomology among sex trafficking survivors
This report highlights nuances of DE symptomology among STS compared to nontrafficked women and demographics that increase risk for subsamples of STS. Findings inform recommendations for aftercare services for STS and future research. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)
Disordered eating among sex trafficking survivors: An application of objectification theory to experiences of extreme objectification
These results have implications for future research and clinical work with STSs, which will be instrumental in mitigating the impact of the sex trafficking epidemic plaguing women in the United States. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
Don’t judge me ‘til you walk through my shoes’: A qualitative investigation of the experiences of women living with HIV
Objective Women living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are less of a focus in the HIV literature, which tends to focus on the HIV experiences of men who have sex with men (MSMs). Hence, we conducted a qualitative study that examined: (a) the type of stigma and discrimination that women living with HIV experience related to their HIV status, (b) the source of this stigma and discrimination, (c) their responses related to this stigma an…
Beyond Methods: A Model for Teaching Theory in Applied Anthropology
Rising numbers of anthropology majors are entering sectors in industry, in which qualitative data analysis skills and theoretical thinking are essential. Yet, a disciplinary divide between theoretical and applied approaches in anthropology and a market for commodified method skills often present challenges to teaching theory in the applied anthropology classroom. Our study is based upon the successful implementation of a three-phase qualitative d…
Language and Culture in Workplace Ethnography
Scholars studying the anthropology of work have traditionally been interested in questions of power, class, inequality, moral economy, and the transformations brought about by global capitalism. To address these larger questions, workplace ethnography gives attention to both interactional and systemic level analysis, making linguistic methods a powerful tool for studying both talk at work and institutional discourse. Language has many social func…
Foreigners’ Attitudes Toward Individuals Who Sell Sex in Thailand: A Prototype Study
The role of sex trade in Thailand’s tourism and expatriate industry has been a common topic in professional literature and popular media for many years. With the rise of the global economy and the increasing foreigner population in Thailand, there is little doubt that foreign influence on Thailand has grown. However, little research has examined foreigners’ views and attitudes toward individuals who sell sex (ISS) in Thailand. The present study e…
The Influence of Gender and Customer Status on Foreigners' Perceptions of Individuals Who Sell Sex in Thailand
Managing Dirt: Disciplines of Cleanliness and Contamination at a Kentucky Auto Parts Factory
A legacy of coal mining and manufacturing work in Appalachia has linked regional working-class identity and perceptions of the region to shared experiences of dangerous and stigmatised dirty work. At the same time, manufacturing work here increasingly relies on computerised machinery, systematised practices of cleanliness, and ties to global corporations. This paper, based on 18 months of ethnographic field research explores practices of cleanlin…
"High-Tech Futures in "Silicon Holler
Technology training and job placement programs are becoming common forms of economic development in the United States, presenting hopeful futures for rural regions facing job loss. While these endeavors often draw on local identities to market new programs, they also involve multiple stakeholders who represent a diversity of experiences and work history. This essay discusses the way that individuals negotiate efforts to create a "Silicon Holler" …
Mobile and Temporary: Women and Workplace Precarity in Appalachian Kentucky
Current attention to local economic development in Central Appalachia frequently centers on integrating rural entrepreneurs into a global market. Less consideration has been given, however, to the rising challenges of a rapidly changing waged workplace that is increasingly characterized by temporary employment, expectations of geographic mobility, and decreasing worker protections. Such issues are often exacerbated by continued efforts to attract…

The hidden labor of repayment: Women, credit, and strategies of microenterprise in northern Honduras
Microlending programs, commonly directed at women and presented as a solution to global poverty, provide borrowers credit to support small, informal income-generating activities. These initiatives have garnered much attention from anthropologists, who have long been interested in the social life of credit and debt. Despite numerous anthropological studies critiquing the social and economic consequences of such lending practices, they continue, bo…
Haptic Augmentation of the Hybrid Piano
One of the most vital feedback systems that has been embedded in musicians for centuries is that of physical response. In the same way that auditory information is available and used throughout a performance, a musician will continuously reassess their playing by making use of not only their specialised sensorimotor skills, but also the tangible feedback that is relayed to them through the body of the instrument. This paper discusses approaches t…
