Reflections on a critically-applied anthropology of conservation and tourism field school in Honduras' Bay Islands
This article examines the inception, goals, and impacts of an ethnographic field school in conservation, culture, and environmental change, established in collaboration with small conservation nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Honduras' Bay Islands. It traces the author's journey from decades of critical and activist ethnography on rhetorical erasure and territorial dispossession of African and Indigenous descendants by conservation and tou…
But we met expectations! Why us
This Vital Topics Forum focuses on the host of challenges that now threaten the future of anthropology. The political polarization of the current era, along with the economic rationale that matches it, leads to policy and legislation restricting content and speech in universities, cuts and closure of anthropology programs, and the loss of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives. This combines the loss of careers and opportunities with the el…
Local Knowledge and Environmental Education in Utila, Bay Islands, Honduras
Researchers of environmental change in island communities increasingly reimagine resilience. Critical theorists ask whether this trend is a net positive for different populations and non-human natures in these fragile spaces. Engaging these critiques in Utila, Bay Islands, Honduras, a place known for marine-based tourism, in this article, we consider whether it is possible to talk about resilience given the constraints placed on conservation NGOs…
Grit, Grind, and Praxis
In this paper we define "The Memphis Model," or the type of praxis-oriented, critically engaged anthropology developed and used by the Department of Anthropology at the University of Memphis. This model draws inspiration from the Grit and Grind ethos of the city of Memphis, along with its deep cultural and political traditions of grassroots activism for social justice. Here, we define how this is done in practice. The Department of Anthropology c…
It's Not Just Academic
In this article we consider applied anthropology as it exists at the program level. While individual faculty can promote applied training, sustainability in applied education is only possible when entire faculties-and the college and university administrations that provide the necessary financial, structural, and social support-are committed to this approach. While many options for program development exist, we argue that being aware of what othe…
Years Ago the Crabs Was so Plenty
Scholars are increasingly attending to human emotions in the context of changing environments. Here, we draw on over a decade of collaborative work in the community of Utila, a small Honduran island in the Caribbean, to explore evidence of environmental grief through consideration of three broad themes: (1) population and motorized transportation growth as linked to social and environmental decline; (2) mourning over the loss of the ecological bo…
A Dot on a Map
This article explores the complexities of territorial dispossession in a post-Washington-Consensus global development policy context. In particular, it explores a contemporary development paradox in Honduras: the transnational recognition of the rights of indigenous people alongside massive land dispossession of the Afro-Indigenous Garifuna in the name of development. Cartography is considered both in terms of physical mapping projects and ideolo…
A Garifuna Homecoming
Teaching collaborative environmental anthropology
This article presents lessons learned from an interdisciplinary-engaged scholarship collaboration between the University of Memphis, Colorado State University, and four Honduran conservation organizations to assess the relationship between gender and conservation values among voluntourists on the Bay Island of Utila, Honduras. We focus on four key domains of teaching feminist and environmental anthropology through applied collaborative work: (1) …
Career Subjectivities in U.S. Anthropology
This article explores shifts in anthropological career opportunities and subjectivities in the United States since World War II. Survey and interview data reveal a lively discourse surrounding the changing job market in which practicing anthropology outside of the academy is often identified as a secondary occupational choice. We argue that the nonacademic practitioner's subjectivity is defined in contrast to (and by) academically based anthropol…
Neoliberal conservation, garifuna territorial rights and resource management in the cayos cochinos marine protected area
This case study contributes to the study of neoliberal conservation and indigenous rights through an interdisciplinary (anthropology and fisheries management) evaluation of the 2004-2009 management plan for Honduras' Cayos Cochinos Marine Protected Area (CCMPA). The CCMPA was established in 1993, in a region that has been inhabited by the afro-indigenous Garifuna for over 213 years. An evaluation of the CCMPA's 2004-2009 management plan's socioec…
Protecting Garifuna Territory for Whom? Gender, Power, and Ecotourism in the Cayos Cochinos Marine Protected Area
The Cayos Cochinos, a set of two small islands (Cayo Menor and Cayo Mayor) and thirteen coral cays located off the north coast of Honduras, are picturesque in their postcard beauty. A Google search brings up descriptions of the islands as "diamonds in the rough," "a divers' and snorkelers' paradise," "the most stunning scenery ever to behold," "a private paradise." The archipelago's beauty is undeniable, yet the costs of "protecting" its natural …
The Meskwaki and Anthropologists
Black and Indigenous
Last In, First Out
This paper describes a three-year case study (2003-2005) of General Motors' (GM) Lansing Grand River Assembly (LGRA) plant, the first new vehicle assembly plant in North America to be built on GM's Global Manufacturing System (GMS), a globally integrated lean manufacturing model. The paper is an ethnographic journey to understand the LGRA's perceived initial success with lean manufacturing. In the study, LGRA's economic performance is related to …
When Mestizo Becomes (Like) Indio … or is it Garífuna
Este artículo explora la relación entre el poder, el control de recursos, y la construcción de identidad dentro del contexto de la lucha por parte de los Garífunas para recuperar su territorio ancestral en la costa norte de Honduras. La articulación de una identidad indígena ha permitido a los Garífunas un medio para afirmar su derecho a la autodeterminación, el acceso y el control de recursos principales en una economía creciente de turismo dond…
Practicing Anthropology in a Time of Crisis
The breadth and reach of practicing anthropologists in 2009 suggests that anthropology has entered a new phase of advanced engagement at local, national, and international levels. In this article, I review thematic areas in which practicing anthropologists made significant contributions in 2009, including fiscal crisis and business anthropology; U.S. race relations, civil rights, and policy reforms; human rights, environmental change, and displac…
Incarnational Theology and the Gospel
This article explores the faith-based medical missions of the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi to underserved rural indigenous peoples of Panama. The Mississippi Model focuses on health care delivery and de-emphasizes conversion to a religious faith, an approach that some may classify as a faith-based community performing secular tasks. However, the Mississippi Model arises from incarnational theology, which-viewed from both historical and contem…
Resource Guide for Anthropologists Working in Faith-based Development
Although faith-based organizations (FBOs) historically have played an important role in the provision of social services, the recent expansion of funding opportunities to support their work in tandem with the neoliberal imperative to privatize social services delivery have propelled a newfound scholarly focus on their activities. This resource guide provides a brief overview of both the expansion of funding sources generated from the United State…

This paper proposes a theory to explain how rural sociality has influenced workforce behavior and productivity at a Global Manufacturing Systems' automotive assembly plant in mid-Michigan. The paper argues that for over 100 years, rural and farming families in the region have been appropriating GM factories in order to sustain their rural life ways and remain part of their own ‘moral’ community. Loyalty to the company is conceptualized from the f…
