This article describes and analyzes the American Anthropological Association’s adoption of a sexual harassment and sexual assault policy as a part of the groundswell of recognition that sexual violence detrimentally shapes scientific inquiry, a recognition catalyzed by the #MeToo cultural moment. This is a case study of what Marcel Mauss terms “policy as total social phenomena,” which narrates a significant historical pivot in the story of femini…
Transforming Teaching towards Empowered Learning
This article calls for revisiting how we teach anthropology in light of three mutually reinforcing “moments” – the #MeToo Movement, the development of the American Anthropological Association’s first Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault Policy, and shifting student expectations regarding personal safety and wellbeing. By thinking anthropologically about anthropology, against a backdrop of larger questions for the discipline as a whole, we single …

Measuring Married Women “Opting Out”
Women in America wield governmental and corporate power at levels never before seen in the history of this country. They have unprecedented access to education, jobs, and income. Having gained a foothold in formerly male-dominated positions, many of these highly educated, accomplished women are opting out of their careers, often as a consequence of becoming mothers. This presents a paradox in the negotiation of women's roles, one whose implicatio…
The Birth of the African‐Irish Diaspora
This article presents findings from a study of African immigration to Ireland. Set against a background description of who these recent immigrants are and why they come, this research, based primarily in a Dublin maternity hospital, looks at the experiences of pregnant and post‐partal African women to explore questions surrounding use of maternity services and their relationship to larger issues of integration into Irish society. This gendered se…
Kids at the Crossroads
The papers here examine the global circulation of both ideologies and practices that underlie the notion of "childhood," as well as the circulation or migration of children themselves. We ask what are the implications of the global circulation of constructions and practices of children and childhood, and how does the state involve itself in these processes? Specifically, the papers look at children and childhood in light of what Bock, Gaskins, an…
Irish Babies, African Mothers
In June 2004, Ireland underwent a dramatic transformation when the citizenry passed a national referendum limiting access to citizenship by birth in unprecedented ways. At issue was Ireland's transition from a country characterized by emigration to one of net immigration. Among the immigrants to Ireland in this period were a certain number of pregnant African asylum seekers, who subsequently gave birth to children with rights to Irish citizenship…
The African Irish
A Comparison of the Integration Experiences of Two African Immigrant Populations in a Rural Community
Most U.S. migration research compares very distinct groups, such as Mexicans and Asians, and virtually ignores the small, but growing number of African immigrants. In contrast, this study describes and compares the integration experiences of two Black, East African refugee populations in a small town in the Midwestern United States. We demonstrate that Muslim Somalis and Christians from southern Sudan encounter similar structural obstacles to soc…
Global Transactions
This paper draws on ethnographic research in America and Ethiopia to explore the phenomenon of Sudanese (Nuer) refugee remittance from those in the diaspora to those who remain behind in Africa. Specifically it locates the unidirectional flow of cash within transnational flows of people, goods, and information. This multi-sited study explores the impacts of these transfers on both sides of the equation. It documents the importance of remittances …
Updating Images of South Sudan
In this essay, I compare and contrast two recent films that update the anthropological record on what has become of Nuer and Dinka people of southern Sudan by documenting their resettlement in the United States as refugees. Lost Boys of Sudan and A Great Wonder: Lost Children of Sudan Resettling in America trace the displacement of Sudanese youth by the civil war and their adaptation to U.S. life. Both films provide an alternative way of viewing …
Nuer Christians in America
This paper interrogates the socio‐political role of Christianity in the forced migration experiences of southern Sudanese refugees living in the United States. Religion is implicated in the conflict in Sudan; faith‐based organizations broker these refugees' resettlement in the United States; and engagement with US Christian Churches eases the transition to a new society. Based on ethnographic research with Sudanese refugees and American service p…
