A Changing Climate: How Will the Southwest Survive

CHAIRS: FISKE, Shirley (UMD) and CRATE, Susan (GMU)

ABSTRACT: Given the growing urgency to develop state and local responses to a changing climate, this panel invites local scholars, journalists, authors and activists to share their thoughts and projections on how a changing climate will affect our lives, families and cultures—and our cities, villages and Pueblos in New Mexico and the Southwest region beyond. How will the Southwest survive? is the critical question that will be put to the panelists, who will describe the landscape, survivability and sustainability, as they see it, given their research, advocacy, and humanistic perspectives. What kinds of strategies, plans, and adjustments (or radical changes) will be needed across the landscape and across institutions? What will happen in New Mexico under conditions of climate change and how can these challenges be addressed?

Celebrating Ten Years of Online Master's Training: The View in Hindsight

CHAIRS: HENRY, Doug (UNT)

ABSTRACT: At the 10 year mark in the history of its online MA degree in Applied Anthropology, University of North Texas is reaching out to its alumni to comment on the nature of online training, and the values,benefits, perils, and pitfalls, it entails. In applied anthropology, onlinepedagogy can still be viewed somewhat skeptically; this skepticism prevents honest evaluation of tools and methodologies that can bring anthropology to those unable to attend traditional programs. By inviting alumni two, four, and six years out, this session hopes to open critical dialogue for a longitudinalperspective on the value of online education, and assess who can benefit most, and how.

Crucial Conversations Roundtable: "Sanctuary vs. Sanctions"

CHAIRS: FINERMAN, Ruthbeth (U Memphis), FOUST, Amy (NAU), and LOUCKY, James (WWU)

ABSTRACT: US sanctuary cities that protect and value their diverse communities are threatened by a new federal administration determined to erase political, economic, environmental, health and social safeguards. Citizens already vulnerable to ethnic, religious, sexual or other discrimination are targeted by new political efforts to erode hard-won rights. Immigrants and refugees seeking dignity and asylum are instead menaced by an administration that proposes walls, religious registration and “extreme vetting.” A panel of governmental, non-governmental, grassroots and educational representatives will discuss strategies to build bridges rather than barricades, and collaborative opportunities to ensure that sanctuary cities can continue to promote cross-cultural understanding, inclusivity, legitimacy, rights and the common good. Panelists will be asked to share their perspectives in relation to three questions/topic areas:

How are sanctuary cities unique? Panelists might discuss differences in policies and practice in declaring sanctuary city status; practical contributions of sanctuary status for economic growth and innovation; social benefits for valuing diversity and human rights; or other distinctions from cities that have not declared this status.
How does new federal legislation threaten sanctuary cities? Participants might outline specific threats to federal funding, or raise broader concerns for community relations (e.g. anti-immigrant violence, red tape, impacts on service organizations, police relations, centers of worship, schools), international trade and global relationships, or risks to vulnerable residents.
What can be done to protect sanctuary cities? Panelists and members of the audience will be encouraged to jointly propose strategies for legislators, anthropologists, business and agency leaders, community members and others to protect sanctuary status.

Culture-Bound Illness Syndromes and Idioms of Distress: A Basis for Devising Anthropological Interventions

CHAIRS: WEAVER, Lesley Jo (U Alabama)
CO-CHAIR: SCHENSUL, Steven (UCHC)

ABSTRACT: Anthropologists have long recognized that manifestations of physical illness and psychological distress do not always conform to psychiatric disease states. While many of those who are biomedically-trained have been dismissive as a result, applied anthropologists have recognized their utility as the basis for interventions that can improve communication, adherence, treatment outcomes, stigma reduction and systems change. Session papers will present recent ethnographicand mixed-methods work that identifies and measures cultural syndromes and their incorporation into interventions. This session will include small-group brainstorming of potential interventional approaches and is a companion to a session organized at the recent Society for Psychological Anthropology meeting.

Ethnobotany, Food, and Identity

CHAIR: FOWLER, Emily E. (UIC)

ABSTRACT: This paper explores ethnobotany and traditional Maya of Central America medical practices and how they may be used in conjunction with Western Medicine. I argue that small-scale neighborhood and community utilization of plants traditionally used by the Maya for medical purposes, as a supplement to our more mainstream practices, would lead to a more sustainable medical practice. I use ethnographic data from time spent with a Maya indigenous knowledge scholar and the existing ethnobotany literature to analyze the possibilities for a practical application of these ideas, such as community gardens and community development programs that include education on such practices.

How We Think, Work and Write About Migration

CHAIR: FREIDENBERG, Judith (UMD)

ABSTRACT: The wide and enthusiastic response to the question posed in Practicing Anthropology (38.1), “How do we talk about migration” encourages taking another step and suggest new avenues for discussion: what geo-political perspective do we use to study migration, how do we analyze migration and what theoretical perspective frames our positioning; how, and from which disciplines, do we approach research topics and how do we write them up; who do we address, and what is the dominant narrative in our work. We propose four axes for discussion: the geo-political perspective, the analytical approach, the disciplinary option and the narrative practice.

Immigration Politics After the Election

CHAIR: GOMBERG-MUNOZ, Ruth (Loyola U)

ABSTRACT: The topic of immigration was wielded as campaign fodder throughout the 2016 election cycle, with Donald Trump promising to “build a wall” and aggressively expand mass deportations, and Hillary Clinton vowing to support and extend protections for US immigrants. No mere political theater, contentious politics surrounding immigration in the United States have profoundramifications for millions of people both within US borders and beyond. In thissession, panelists discuss their work with migrants and their family members, exploring how migrants perceive and navigate the promises and actualities of 2016 US election results

Learning from the Locals: The Importance of Community Perspectives in Countering “Expert” Bias in Disaster Response

CHAIRS: CHAIKEN, Miriam S. (NMSU) and COMPANION, Michèle (UCCS)
DISCUSSANTS: CHAIKEN, Miriam S. (NMSU) and COMPANION, Michèle (UCCS)

ABSTRACTS: The field of disaster mitigationhas grown and expanded, becoming ever more professional and data-driven, as disaster professionals seek to build resilience in the face of shocks and mitigateagainst negative impacts. Despite the progress in this field, there is often animplicit bias that the “experts” are best at responding to disasters, with local knowledge treated as folk wisdom. These papers examine the ways in which “experts” sometimes failed to produce the desired response, and where greater reliance on indigenous knowledge systems and “insider” perspectives were warranted.

Lessons from the Dawning of the Anthropocene: Trials, Evolving Traditions, and New Directions for Communities Hosting Nuclear Disaster. Part I: Struggles and Evolving Strategies to Secure Resilience and Health in Marshallese Communities

CHAIR: JOHNSTON, Barbara Rose (Ctr for Political Ecology)

ABSTRACTS: In cracking the atom and unleashing nuclear power on this planet, we humans created a complex and completely unique force, one that generates immense power for a few and terrible suffering for many. This session considers the trials endured by host communities and emerging lessons from seven decades of life in a nuclear disaster zone. Part one explores the Marshallese experience and evolving lessons at home and in diaspora. Parts two and three offer a cross- cultural exploration of impacts, risk and uncertainties, and adaptive response. Collectively, we explore the architecture of power and controlling processes driving nuclear expansion, shaping consequential damages, encouraging remedial actions, and the relative success of struggles to build truly sustainable architectures of power.

Riddle Me DATA: Science, Anthropology & the Future of Knowledge, Part 1

CHAIR: HANNA, Bridget (Northeastern U)

ABSTRACT: The increasing interdisciplinarity of Big Data science poses new riddles for anthropologists. Originally, disciplinary divisions were driven by the urge to: 1) protect unique epistemologies; 2) foster distinct methodologies, & 3) cultivate specialized knowledge. Today however, disciplinary silos are being eroded by the rise of the data sciences, with their omnivorous appetite for information and relatively agnostic view as to its’ philosophical underpinnings. What does this mean for ethnographic practice, for collaboration, and for justice? How do we ethically work with, within, and with-out Big Data? Stories across environmental, medical, cartographic, judicial and managerial worlds help frame these new conundrums.

“It’s Not You, It’s Not Me—It’s Us!”: Challenging Public Perceptions of Anthropology Through Experiential Learning

CHAIR: SCHUG, Seran (Rowan U)

ABSTRACT: This panel addresses the long-standing misperceptions of anthropology as a static social science about distant others rather than a dynamic exploration of relationships. We showcase experiential learning projects that challenge misrepresentations and misappropriations of ethnographic knowledge and practices. Projects include script-writing and other writing culture projects that educate and critique the process of ethnography, student-run development of a museum with audience engaged interactive displays, collaborative storytelling for an online archive— “Voices of the Garden State,” building a database of legal cases that affect traditional Native American/American Indian practices, and photo- ethnography as a collaborative relational effort.

“Witnessing” the Migration Crisis Across Borders

CHAIRS: RE CRUZ, Alicia, NUNEZ-JANES, Mariela, and KOEBER, Ryan (UNT)

ABSTRACT: The unprecedented increase of border crossings in the summer of 2014 has been associated to alarming reports of human rights violations. In this context, anthropologists play numerous interconnecting roles working as and with activists, organizers, volunteers, advocates and witnesses. This roundtable is integrated by anthropologists and a variety of professionals from the USA and Mexico who work collaboratively in “witnessing” the dehuminanizing of migrant lives. The discussion will focus on what witnessing means in the context of migration, how witnessing relates to anthropological praxis, and what implications witnessing brings to the practice of anthropology in contexts of social injustice
