Diverse Student Experiences in Higher Education
The articles in this special collection were presented at the Society for Applied Anthropology meeting in 2018 on a panel affiliated with the organization’s Issues in Higher Education Topical Interest Group. This topical interest group focuses on examining how ongoing shifts in student demographics, financial challenges, and national policy impact decision-making and practice at all levels of the institution in complex ways. The articles in this …
Nontraditional Students
In light of the fact that nontraditional students (those age 25 years or older) outnumber traditional students on many US college campuses, it is important to understand their needs and experiences in higher education. A key characteristic distinguishing nontraditional students from traditional-aged college students is the high likelihood that they are juggling multiple competing demands and stressors, including parenthood, work, marriage, and fi…
Students' Culture at a University where Most Students are Ethnic Minorities
Going to college is a major rite of passage in the United States. For many of New Mexico Highlands University (Highlands) students, going to college marks another watershed: they are first in their families to go to college. This paper describes students' culture at Highlands—a university where (ethnic) minorities form the majority of the student population. Using ethnographic data collected by and analyzed in collaboration with my students, the …
We Find Ourselves in the Middle
Only relatively recently have human migration and resettlement processes been studied in an effort to understand, in depth, the effects of resettlement on the relocatees and their hosts. This paper focuses on the relations between Navajo relocatees from the Former Joint Use Area, their initial relations with their Navajo reservation hosts, the various disputes that ensued, followed by comments "20 years later" on the long-term impacts of the land…

Assessing the Success and Failure of Navajo Relocation
This paper analyzes forced relocation in the United States and compares it with international standards. It focuses on assessing relative success or failure of forced Navajo relocation in relationship to the two major analytical frameworks: Cernea's World Bank guidelines for planned relocation projects and Scudder's four-stage relocation model. The assessment demonstrates and explains why the relocating agency and, subsequently, the relocation pr…
What Happened to Navajo Relocatees from Hopi Partition Lands in Pinon
INTRODUCTION\nForced relocation has become an affliction. The Navajo-Hopi land dispute has led to the relocation of 2,940 households, more than 10,000 Navajo people, with another 440 households certified but not yet relocated. This is the largest forced relocation of American citizens in the United States since the World War II-period internment of 110,000 people of Japanese ancestry-most of whom were American citizens. This paper describes the p…
Relocation of Navajo from Hopi Partitioned Land in Pinon
Host—relocatee relations in Pinon, a Navajo community where relocation is still an ongoing process, are studied. Both Cernea and Scudder indicate that omitting the host population from pre-relocation considerations is common and invariably result in hostrelocatee conflicts. Although host—relocatee relations are important, the issue has not been explored. This paper examines local and external economic and political forces that were generated by t…
