The SfAA Podcast Project is a student-led initiative that uploads podcasts recorded during the Society for Applied Anthropology Annual Meetings. These podcasts offer a variety of topics, covering health, the environment, social justice, education, business, and more, showcasing diverse perspectives from both applied and academic realms. Our aim is to make these enlightening dialogues accessible to a global audience, extending conversations beyond the conference and throughout the years. All podcasts are available for free on Podbean and all major streaming platforms. We encourage you to listen regularly and embark on a journey of learning and discovery. For any inquiries or feedback, please reach out to us at sfaapodcasts@gmail.com.
A Brief History of the Podcast Project
The SfAA Podcast Project began from a small remark at the 2005 Annual Meeting in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Torn between coinciding sessions, then-student Jen Cardew Kersey was discussing with her now-husband, Tim, which panel she should attend. He asked the simple question, ¨Why not listen to one of them afterwards?¨ As Jen tells it, this was a ridiculous idea. Anthropologists in 2005 did not record sessions. Everyone knew that.
Anthropologists in 2007, however, did. Jen rallied the support of a faculty advisor, Christina Wasson, and former SfAA Executive Director, Tom May (both of whom were an integral component to the Project´s success). The Podcast Project debuted at the 67th Annual Meeting, and has continued on for a decade.
Since 2007, the Podcast Project has published over 150 podcasts, has touched 6 continents, and has experienced over 110,000 views. As we continue to grow and improve, we pay special tribute to Jen Cardew Kersey, Christina Wasson, Tom May, the many SfAA contributors, and to the 10 years of student volunteers who have made this project successful.
