The workshop will be tailored to meet varying levels of experience, but primarily will be geared towards individuals who want to incorporate media into fieldwork and/or community partnerships. Training will incorporate tripods, DSLR and VR cameras, audio recorders, and microphones.

Anthropological Approaches to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Work in Organizations

A Workshop by the Anthropology Career Readiness Network (ACRN) and the National Association for the Practice of Anthropology (NAPA)

Wednesday, March 29
1:30 - 3:15 pm

MACEYKO, Melissa (CSULB & Willing Observers) and ARCINIEGA, Lucy (Willing Observers) 

 As conducting cultural assessments has become a critical aspect of organizations’ diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies, understanding organizational culture is increasingly an important component of DEI work. In this environment, competing understandings of what culture is and how it operates, both within and outside of the organization, can critically impact the success of DEI efforts. During this session, students and potential jobseekers will be provided with illustrative case studies and led through hands-on activities that seek to hone their ability to apply ethnographic theory and qualitative methods to cultural assessment and DEI work in organizations.

This workshop will teach participants how to optimize their profiles, engage with posts on the platform, and network effectively with non-1st degree connections on the platform. This workshop is intended for students and professionals who want to develop a career in practice in spaces such as user experience research, market research, business consulting, and similar fields.

So You Want to Publish?: Demystifying the Hidden Curriculum of Academic Journals

Thursday, March 28
1:30 - 5:30 pm

CHIN, Elizabeth (American Anthropologist, Art Ctr Coll of Design)  

Let’s take the mystery out of publishing. In this workshop we’ll discuss many aspects of the “hidden curriculum” when it comes to getting your writing out into the world. How do you identify and select a good outlet for your work? What should you expect from the review process? How do you deal with dreaded reviewer number two? What happens if your submission is rejected? We will have plenty of time for discussion, strategizing, and working a bit on writing, too. If you have something in process -- a draft of something you’d like to publish, an article with a revise and resubmit decision, something that was rejected, bring it along. All writing will be treated with the care it deserves!

Storytelling for Anthropologists: An Essential Tool and Art (NAPA Workshop)

Thursday, March 28
5:45 - 7:30 pm

TASHIMA, Niel and CRAIN, Cathleen (LTG Assoc), OLIVER, Elisha (Texas Folklife) 

An important attribute/skill of good anthropologists is the ability to communicate with an audience rapidly and effectively. In this workshop, we will begin the session by defining the elements of a good story and its communication to a lay audience.  We will then have three anthropologists each tell a story about their work using the discussed framework.  After each story, the session chair and the presenters will discuss how the frame worked and what was most effective about the story. After the three stories and discussions are completed, the audience will be invited to participate in a story-generating exercise. The final activity will be a facilitated group discussion.

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.

Introduction to Implementation Science from Anthropological Perspectives

Friday, March 29
5:45 - 7:30 pm

WILLGING, Cathleen and SHATTUCK, Daniel (PIRE & UNM), and RASKIN, Sara (VCU) 

Implementation science is the scientific study and application of methods and strategies that support the uptake of new policies, programs, and interventions, and effectively transition novel innovations into regular use. Since the field’s inception, anthropology has played a critical role in design and measurement in implementation science. In this interactive workshop, we will review the “what” and “why” behind implementation science; describe a sample of key implementation theories, models, and frameworks; and discuss implementation strategies. This workshop will also provide training on integrating implementation science research with applied medical anthropology and public health practice. ​​​​​​​
