Research is personal, always: Practical strategies for relational care
In this article, four authors build on personal experiences to share how we transformed discomfort in research into practical tools. We are social scientists and creative scholars who bring sensory knowledge and vulnerabilities to our work while forging dynamic personal connections. Drawing on Indigenous, feminist, and disability justice scholarship, we present three instruments for prioritizing personally impactful and relational research. Instr…
Writing in difference
This is an invitation to write in and from difference. Living as outsiders through neurodivergence and other positions of precarity can bring us into our fear and strength. Difference allows for storying otherwise through interruptions, disjuncture, resistance, and care. Useful suggestions often do not apply to neurodivergent and otherwise precariously positioned writers. Instead of packaged plans, these tips include ideas for otherwise minds alo…
The State of Policy in Practice: A Social Science Perspective
Only the Immunocompromised and Elderly Will Die: Precarity and Care in the United States
During the first days of COVID-19, stories about health and life circulated quickly and with resolve. The phrase "only the immunocompromised and elderly will die" became a touchpoint of disagreement, meaning fascist sacrifice to some and comfort to others. Examples provide insights into how, in times of disruption, meanings embedded in diffusive phrases expose and reinforce existing systems of power. We use the concept of shoring , borrowed from …

Puzzling Over Patterns
Social scientists in the United States face impacts of legislative attacks on critical thinking in classrooms from K-12 through college. Reduction and removal of content and pedagogy designed to develop and discuss critical thinking present challenges for anthropologists by increasing inequality in access and engagement for learners at all levels. Community engagement and creative problem solving can inform the development of learning opportuniti…

Inequality of Covid-19: Immediate Health Communication, Governance and Response in Four Indigenous Regions
Order out of chaos: Sense of coherence and the mediating role of coping resources in explaining mental health during Covid-19 in 7 countries
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and the universal chaos created by it, this study explores the role of sense of coherence (Soc, Antonovsky, 1979) and how it enables coping with a stressful situation and staying well. SOC is a generalized orientation which allows one to perceive the world as comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful. In an attempt to understand 'how does the SOC work' we employed the salutogenic assumption that a strong SOC…

Living in opposition: How women in the United States cope in spite of mistrust of federal leadership during the pandemic of Covid‐19
International research collaborators conducted research investigating sociocultural responses to the Covid-19 pandemic. Our mixed methods research design includes surveys and interviews conducted between March and September of 2020 including 249 of 506 survey responses and 18 of 50 in-depth, exploratory, semi-structured interviews with self-defined politically left-leaning women in the United States. We employ a sequential design to analyze stati…
Building a Narrative of Equity: Weaving Indigenous Approaches into Community-Engaged Research
In 2020, global injustice has taken center stage during the uprising of the Black Lives Matter movement and other social movements. Activists are calling attention to longstanding disparities in health outcomes and an urgent need for justice. Given the global socio-political moment, how can health researchers draw on current critical theory and social movements to create structures for equitable outcomes in health research and practice? Here, we …
Connection, Contagion, and Covid-19
Anthropologists have long known how perceptions of contagion play out along the lines of xenophobia and racism. Months after the beginning of the global Cover-19 pandemic, predictions by anthropologists of xenophobic ideologies and actions have come to pass. In the United States people understand the global pandemic not as biology, but as the manifestation of political affiliation, difference, connection, and disconnection. COVID-19 is, according…
Negotiating Inequality: Disruption and Covid-19 in the United States
Supporting New Community-Based Participatory Research Partnerships
Marginalized communities have a documented distrust of research grounded in negative portrayals in the academic literature. Yet, trusted partnerships, the foundation for Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR), require time to build the capacity for joint decision-making, equitable involvement of academically trained and community investigators, and co-learning. Trust can be difficult to develop within the short time between a funding oppor…
A Call for Further Research on the Impact of State-Level Immigration Policies on Public Health
Arizona’s Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act, signed into law in April 2010, is already adversely affecting public health in the state. Our findings from a study on childhood obesity in Flagstaff suggest that the law changed health-seeking behaviors of residents of a predominantly Latino neighborhood by increasing fear, limiting residents’ mobility, and diminishing trust of officials. These changes could exacerbate barriers to…

Hiring the experts: Best Practices for Community-Engaged Research
Community-engaged approaches to research and practice continue to show success in addressing health equity and making long-term change for partnership relationships and structures of power. The usefulness of these approaches is either diminished or bolstered by community trust, which can be challenging for partnerships to achieve. In this research note we present an example process for recruiting, interviewing, and hiring community researchers as…

Ripple effect: An evaluation tool for increasing connectedness through community health partnerships
We used a community-based participatory approach to evaluate a multi-sectoral project called Hermosa Vida. Project partners and community researchers collaborated on the design and implementation of a Ripple Effect Tool (RET) to measure increased generative social and professional connectedness, and new project development in an emergent participatory project. Participatory methods drove evaluation of the development and intended documentation of…
Implementing Qualitative Data Management Plans to Ensure Ethical Standards in Multi-Partner Centers
Thorough data management is crucial for the protection of people who participate in research and the ability for researchers to share results with the public. The impact of inadequate adherence to data management is particularly evident in small field sites and among vulnerable populations partoicipating in Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR). CBPR presents exciting opportunities for multimedia and multi-sectoral dissemination of resear…
Transitions/Translations/Gaps: Ethnographic Representations in the Pharmaceutical Industry
Like all research in the corporate world, ethnographic research must move between different domains, translate between differently situated social actors and risk misinterpretation. In product development, this misinterpretation can result in gaps in the complex chain of information that comprises a product pipeline. This work shows how anthropologists' use of the concept of personhood to analyze and understand corporate clients and people that u…

Defying Displacement: Organizing for a Beautiful Life in Flagstaff, Arizona
This article is a reflection on practice from anthropologists and community organizers working together to affect policy change related to health. In particular, we describe a successful organizing effort to oppose the displacement of low-income residents of a mobile home park. We argue that this victory was in part because of the approach of key members of the organizing coalition, who viewed the work of policy change as a process of leadership …
Anthropologists Address Health Equity: Recognizing Barriers to Care
Systems change is necessary for improving health care in the United States, especially for populations suffering from health disparities. Theoretical and methodological contributions of anthropology to health care design and delivery can inform systems change by providing a window into provider and patient perceptions and practices. Our community-engaged research teams conduct in-depth investigations of provider perceptions of patients, often unc…
