What do we owe one another: Appraising networks that enable participation in ethnographic fieldwork
The Importance of the Social During an Era of Digital Research: Recruitment Lessons from a Longitudinal Study in a Low-Income, Limited English Proficiency Population
The dialogical self in vocal psychotherapy
This article addresses the notable yet unexplored similarities between dialogical self theory (DST) in psychotherapy and the therapeutic approaches of vocal psychotherapy, a voice-based model of music psychotherapy developed by Diane Austin. Particularly – to address the similitudes and also the differences between these two domains – we aim at stressing the importance of musicality in voicing what DST calls I-positions (which can be compared to …
Taking Anthropology Off Campus: Developing and Sustaining an Applied Research and Education Program
The Great Crew Change?
The oil and gas industry has a history of booms and busts, imbalances in supply and demand, "crewing up" in expansive times, then retrenching and downsizing in bad times. Many in the industry labeled the early twenty-first century workforce turnover as "The Great Crew Change" and expressed concern that the skilled workers being laid off would be supplanted by inexperienced replacements or — given yet another episode of industry volatility — not r…
Ethnography on Trial
Ethnography] is the most appropriate research approach for increasing understanding of the range of sociocultural effects of the multifaceted and evolving Deepwater Horizon disaster on the people
Enhancing Participatory Evaluation of Land Management through Photo Elicitation and Photovoice
Land management evaluation can be made more relevant and holistic by incorporating local knowledge and perspectives. We examined whether photo elicitation and photovoice could enhance semi-structured interviews in capturing local livestock farmers’ knowledge and perspectives in a participatory evaluation in Mier and Molopo, South Africa. The participants discussed themes including veld condition, land management, and evaluation criteria. Photo el…
The water that cannot be stopped: Southern Paiute perspectives on the Colorado River and the operations of Glen Canyon Dam
Construction and operation of water infrastructure, such as dams, historically has been carried out with little attention paid to mitigating the impacts of such activities on the livelihoods and values of those for whom the water being managed. Enhanced awareness of the need to take into account a wide range of interests, as well as social, cultural, and ecological impacts of water projects, has prompted efforts to include such interests in decis…
Predictors of Postschool Employment Outcomes for Young Adults With Severe Disabilities
Although entry into the world of work is a prominent marker of postschool success in the United States, students with severe disabilities often leave high school without the skills, experiences, and supports that lead to meaningful employment. The authors examined the extent to which an array of student, family, and school factors was associated with employment during the 2 years following high school. Having held a paid, community-based job whil…
Confronting Environmental Challenges on the US–Mexico Border: Long-Term Community-Based Research and Community Service Learning in a Binational Partnership
Recent efforts to increase university involvement in addressing community problems and improving the way such problems are conceptualized and addressed have converged in discussions of community service-learning, community-based research, and community–university partnerships. Yet, the intersections among these approaches have not received much attention. This article addresses this gap by describing a multisectoral, binational partnership establ…
A Framework for Australian Studies: Some Reflections on Community, Class and Culture
Community studies as a form of study in complex societies cart be unduly restrictive though this need not be the case. It depends on the criteria employed to select a field location, and on the types of social organization studied within that location. These themes are illustrated by reference to the Australian community studies of Ron Wild and Harry Oxley. Some limitations in their studies are noted only in order to illustrate how their work mig…
Sustaining Collaboration Across Borders, Languages, and Cultures
As faculty and administrators of programs that involve teenagers and young adults in collaborative community-based participatory research and outreach (CBPRO) programs in Ambos Nogales, a region that encompasses the municipality of Nogales, Sonora, Mexico and the cities of Nogales and Rio Rico, Arizona, we recognize that our communities face tremendous challenges which require creative and innovative approaches. These range from serious environme…
Introduction: Engagement, Accountability and Ethnography in Applied Practice
This issue of PA contains two sets of articles dealing with anthropological engagement and accountability, and bridges the full spectrum of community involvement from planning initiatives to ethnographic reporting. Anthropologist Diane Austin, editor of the first collection, reminds us that as anthropologists and social science practitioners, we struggle to understand the social, economic, and political structure of societies. We pay attention to…
Coastal Exploitation, Land Loss, and Hurricanes: A Recipe for Disaster
Southern Louisiana occupies a dynamic landscape, marked by coastal wetlands interrupted by both natural and human-made levees, and vulnerable to both the Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers and major storms coming off the Gulf of Mexico. It is also a region into which, for centuries, exiled and threatened populations have moved and found refuge. Systematic and dramatic changes along the entire reach of the Mississippi River coupled with activities…
Short Sleep Duration Is Associated with Reduced Leptin, Elevated Ghrelin, and Increased Body Mass Index
BACKGROUND: Sleep duration may be an important regulator of body weight and metabolism. An association between short habitual sleep time and increased body mass index (BMI) has been reported in large population samples. The potential role of metabolic hormones in this association is unknown. METHODS AND FINDINGS: Study participants were 1,024 volunteers from the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study, a population-based longitudinal study of sleep disorder…
Partnerships, Not Projects! Improving the Environment Through Collaborative Research and Action
The knowledge we can obtain through direct experience is often only a fraction of what is necessary for understanding our interactions with the environments upon which we depend. We often know little about the environmental impacts of agricultural practices, water projects, or oil extraction activities that supply what we want and need. Knowledge gaps are exacerbated by technologies that enable the mobility of people and resources. Those who act …
Community-Based Collaborative Team Ethnography: A Community-University-Agency Partnership
This paper describes an approach for building relationships and achieving effective community-university-agency collaboration that was developed to provide information about the issues faced by individuals and families involved in the exploration and production of oil and gas on the outer continental shelf in the Gulf of Mexico. Two university-affiliated ethnographers and a group of local schoolteachers followed the activities of selected workers…
Ghost Dancing the Grand Canyon: Southern Paiute Rock Art, Ceremony, and Cultural Landscapes
Combining rock art studies with ethnohistory, contemporary ethnographic analysis, and the interpretations of people who share the cultural traditions being studied, this paper documents a rock art site in Kanab Creek Canyon that appears to have been the location of a Ghost Dance ceremony performed by Southern Paiute and perhaps Hualapai people in the late 1800s. Using the site as a point of departure, it focuses on the way in which synergistic as…
Landmark and Landscape: A Contextual Approach to the Management of American Indian Resources
Cultural Landscapes and Traditional Cultural Properties: A Southern Paiute View of the Grand Canyon and Colorado River
American Indian people typically want to provide the fullest protection possible for their cultural resources found beyond the bounds of tribal reservations. Federal and state land managers also want to protect cultural resources, thus complying with cultural resource protection laws. Since the mid-1970s, when Indian concerns began to be formally incorporated into cultural studies, there has been a major gap between what Indian people want to pro…
