Comparing methods for research mentorship
Recent research finds that a classic approach to research mentorship – the Socratic method – where faculty foster learning by posing probing questions, can also create gender and racial disparities in learning gains. A newer research mentorship method, the Critical Response Process (CRP), may address these shortcomings by giving students control over the flow and quality of feedback they receive. We test and compare the efficacy of these two meth…

Value Propositions Provide a Roadmap for Teaching Doctoral Students How to Develop Research Proposals
Writing winning proposals for funding research is an essential skill for doctoral students in the social sciences. Still, most anthropology programs lack formal instruction on this, relying instead on informal mentorship. To advance this, we evaluated the Value Proposition framework in teaching anthropology Ph.D. students to write proposals. Our findings from the feedback from students and faculty in the NSF-funded Cultural Anthropology Methods P…
Are There Any True Formal Models of Success- and Prestige-Biased Social Learning
Cultural transmission theorists have proposed there is an inherent tradeoff between social learning strategies [ SLS s] that rely on direct observation of a cultural variant’s payoffs (i.e., direct bias) and those that rely on a model’s cues of success or prestige (i.e., indirect bias). While the former relies on higher-quality informational goods, a model’s success or prestige cues may be easier to access. This paper reviews mathematical models …
Drivers of insect consumption across human populations
Discussions regarding entomophagy in humans have been typically led by entomologists. While anthropologists devote much time to understanding diverse human subsistence practices, historical and cultural variation in insect consumption remains largely unexplained. This review explores the relation between variable ecologies, subsistence strategies, and social norms on insect consumption patterns across past and contemporary human populations. Ecol…
Dynamics of behavior change in the Covid world
All of the policies adopted or proposed so far to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus require immediate and extensive behavioral change. However, changing behavior is difficult even when the benefits are borne by solid science. Doing so effectively requires an appreciation for how people learn behaviors and translate information into action. Evidence-based policies for altering health behaviors are not new. For example, a decade-old systemat…
A propósito del libro Sumak Kawsay Yuyay
El libro de Sumak Kawsay Yuyay que aquí reviso es el producto de la colaboración interinstitucio-nal que desde septiembre de 2013 han forjado la Universidad de Huelva, España, y la Universidad de Cuenca, Ecuador. Semejante intercambio cultural, académico e intelectual se ha centrado en el pensamiento del buen vivir y el desarrollo local sustentable, en un periodo de fortalecimiento histórico del indigenismo latinoamericano
