Workshop #1
iEMBER Collaboration Workshop: Interdisciplinary Team Creation for Research in Undergraduate Biology/STEM Educational Equity
Online only
Tuesday, March 22
9:00 am - 1:00 pm (MST)
CAMPBELL-MONTALVO, Rebecca (UConn), MARCETTE, Jana (MSU-Billings), IDLEBIRD, Candice (HSSU), MCDOWELL, Gary (Lightoller LLC), MOORE, Michael (UALR), and PUCCIA, Ellen (Beta Rsch Assoc Inc)
In biology and STEM, undergraduate major persistence varies across groups. Women, minoritized racial/ethnic groups, LGBTQIA+, and additional groups are historically excluded, often facing unwelcoming environments. iEMBER is hosting a collaboration workshop to provide an opportunity for SFAA attendees (anthropologists, biologists, education researchers, and any others) to form new, interdisciplinary teams to conduct research on school and social contexts of undergraduate biology/STEM education. The workshop facilitates the creation of research teams to support sustainable change in the structure of education. Participants are eligible to submit team proposals for modest financial collaboration support later. iEMBER reimburses SfAA and workshop registration fees.

Cool Anthropology: How to Engage the Public with Academic Research
Wednesday, March 23
9:00 am - 12:00 pm MST
BAINES, Kristina (CUNY Guttman & Cool Anthropology) and COSTA, Victoria (Cool Anthropology)
This workshop takes a deep dive into pathways for engaging the public with academic research- from making early relationships, to securing funding, to employing appropriate technology, to defining an audience and then engaging that audience. Participants will develop ideas based on the modalities, including virtual reality, performance art, film, and comics, as well as social media, blogs, online magazines, and classroom activities. Focusing on collaborative efforts, we will push against the exclusivity of “knowledge production” to ask how engaging communities as both producers and consumers of academic research helps to promote anthropology better and do anthropology better. Fee includes a copy of Cool Anthropology.

The areas are a) methods for practitioners; b) communicating with diverse audiences; and c) articulating the value of anthropology to potential employers. Attendees will rotate through each of three discussion groups, with reference to three domains of practice: medicine and health, user experience work, and government/non-profit work. Discussion groups will include both instructors and practitioners. The workshop is three hours long.

Cultural Consensus Analysis (SAS workshop)

GATEWOOD, John B. (Lehigh U) and LOWE, John W. (Cultural Analysis)
This five-hour workshop is an introduction to cultural consensus analysis and how to use it to study the social organization of knowledge. Topics include: the original problem that consensus analysis addresses; the “formal” versus “informal” methods and the kinds of data collections appropriate for each; the need to counter-balance items when using the informal method; using consensus analysis to study sub-cultural variation; how different distributional patterns of knowledge affect the key indicators of consensus; and number of questions needed for reliable assessments of respondent-by-respondent similarity. Discussion of recent developments with CCA and issues in participants’ own research, as time allows.
