Abstract:
AbstractMuseum educators and graduate students at Brown University’s Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology and the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World, along with the RISD Museum at the Rhode Island School of Design, are entering their eighth year of partnering with sixth-grade social studies teachers in Providence Public Schools in a five-session classroom and museumbased archaeology program called Think Like an Archaeologist. This experiential program uses the study of archaeological methods to address state and national social studies standards and bridges social studies content with the literacy standards of Common Core State Standards (CCSS) that aim at moving students toward twenty-first-century skill building. Students not only understand the science behind the content in their textbooks but also learn how to use museum objects and archaeological artifacts as primary resources. Students also learn to “read” artifacts, express their ideas in spoken and written language as historians, and use academic vocabulary as required by CCSS while thinking like archaeologists. Through teacher feedback and student evaluations, we know this program to be a successful example of the benefits of teaching archaeological skills in middle school curricula—so much so that it has now been re-created at additional schools in other regions.

Full text
Abstract:
Within museological studies, the changing relations between anthropology museums and their differentiated publics, which intensified in the second half of the twentieth century, are typically apprehended through material cultures, through objects, collections and exhibitions. From a different perspective, this thesis argues that the shifting politics and relations–engaging anthropology museums, source communities and the broader sphere of cultural production–are equally, if not more, pronounced in performance culture. Such collaborative frictions are concentrated, enacted and iterated in ‘museum acts,’ which frame and centre human actors, rather than objects. Based on a critical and diachronic ethnography of the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia (UBC) (1976–2008), this analysis focuses on a diverse range of museum acts covering: artists’ residencies, exhibition openings, unveilings, cultural performances, memorial services and symposia. It demonstrates that, despite their ephemerality, such acts or intangible representational practices are crucial indices and constituents of museum space, discourses and histories. Central to this argument is the theory of performative acts, which is drawn from the disciplinary folds of linguistics and philosophy. Like their linguistic counterparts, it is argued, museum acts are intersubjective media that possess a dual agency; an illocutionary force that enables them concurrently to signify and constitute social ‘realities.’ Or to be more specific, as the case studies illustrate: through their intersubjectivity and “performative parallax” (Hastrup 1995, 97–8), museum acts operate to index and iterate relations and identities; to enact and validate artefacts and memories; to mediate and assert or alternatively contest and reclaim cultural knowledge and knowledge of culture. In this way, museum acts are central to the production of the anthropology museum as highly textured and sedimented, hybridized and indigenized, political and contested monumental space.

Abstract:
This work focuses on the use of anthropological and museum theory, methods and practices in the development and construction of a museum. It also illustrates how museums can be used as active research sites for anthropologists. This dissertation uses the Hotel Metropolitan Museum, a new African American museum in Paducah, Kentucky, as an example to demonstrate this research process. I approach this work as a museum professional and academic making a living outside the safety of the "Ivory Tower." I examine how the use of anthropological theories, case studies and methods can be used to help independent consultants understand interpersonal interaction/communication, community development and political structure. Also, I examine how these theories and methods can be applied and/or modified to construct situations that result in outcomes beneficial to the consultant and to the group for which s/he is working.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the history of British anthropology at the start of the twentieth century through a biographical focus on Maria Antonina Czaplicka (1884-1921). The title calls into question the marginalisation of people and processes in the history of anthropology that do not explicitly contribute to the dominant lineage of British social anthropology and offers to add depth and nuance to the narrative through analysis stemming from material sources. I use Czaplicka as a case study to demonstrate how close attention to a seemingly marginal person with an incomplete and scattered archival record, can help formulate a clearer picture of what anthropology was and what it can thus become. My research contributes to the understanding and appreciation of women's involvement in anthropology, calls into question national borders of the discipline at this point in time, highlights the networks that nurtured it, and demonstrates the potential that museum collections have for an enriched understanding of the history of anthropology. I propose that history of anthropology is better understood through a planar approach that allows multiple parallel developments to exist together rather than envisaging a linear evolution towards a single definition of social anthropology. The project lays the groundwork for further research into the role that museums can have for understanding anthropological legacy and the possibilities they may have in creating fresh understandings of the contemporary world.

Abstract:
The goals of museum collaboration are several, as are its intended beneficiaries. Assuming the success of the practice, local communities can gain the opportunity for self-representation and self-determination, museums can contribute to the creation and dissemination of new kinds of knowledge, and visitors can take home better understandings of cultural difference. While these are the ideals of collaboration, they frequently go unrealized, in large part because, as research indicates, the visiting public fails to recognize the active involvement of communities at museums. This raises the question as to whether, in the absence of this audience awareness, museum collaboration can fully contribute to the realization of the tolerant society that it purports to support. The purpose of this research is to examine the role of museum visitors in achieving the goals of museum collaboration, as well as to consider why this public has difficulty recognizing community involvement at museums and how this may be remedied. “A Partnership of Peoples” is an extensive renewal project underway at the Museum of Anthropology (MOA) at the University of British Columbia (UBC), designed to facilitate collaborative research at the museum. It also serves as a case study for my consideration of the relationship between museums and the visiting public as a part of the collaborative process. By speaking with both MOA staff and visitors, I gained insight into the intended goals of the renewal project with respect to the museum’s relationship with communities and the general public, as well as visitor understandings of collaboration. With this fieldwork, in addition to a literature review, I found that the significance of collaboration rests in the personal interactions that occur between individuals. As the majority of visitors do not benefit from these interactions during their time at the museum, they are at a disadvantage when it comes to recognizing the engagement of others in the creation of displays or the facilitation of research. The task for museums, then, is to make contemporary peoples visible and audible, connecting objects to communities and increasing opportunities for visitors to experience these personal meanings.

Abstract:
Museum anthropology, which can involve any or all of anthropology’s subfields, is largely a performative, interdisciplinary enterprise using collaborative methods while engaged with knowledgeable and skilled members of the community, and involves creating new narratives about things of interest to the partners and wider public. This study interlinks applied anthropology, ethnography, ethnohistory, Indigenous archaeology, art, museums as places of interaction, and cultural revitalization, through the description of creative collaborative projects undertaken in partnership with Tli?cho? and other Dene elders, artists, and other skilled practitioners between 1990 and 2011 by staff of the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Exploring themes in the ontology and materiality of objects, relationships between humans and animals, links between technology and cosmology, the epistemology and ontology of Dene conceptions and experiences of the environment and ways of knowing, the composition of new landscapes through art, and the epistemological role of stories in the transmission of knowledge, the study demonstrates that these creative practices are performative and allow collaborators to engage in new ways of knowing, while building trust and respect between participants.

Full text
Abstract:

Captive animals demonstrate a number of differences compared to their wild counterparts, with the suite of some of the most common, and arguably deleterious, referred to collectively as domestication syndrome. Scholars have proposed a number of different variables and mechanisms for the changes, with captive diet being one of the prominent explanations. This thesis explores the effects of captivity on the skulls and mandibles of Malagasy lemurs (predominantly ring-tailed lemurs Lemur catta) using relative linear measurements and selected ratios, gathered from natural history museum collections. I predicted that captive and wild individuals would show differences in cranial measurements related to mastication, which would be driven by their different diets and the exploitation of the kily fruit Tamarindus indica (H1 A). I also predicted that wild individuals would show more overall variation due to consumption of broader, less consistent diets (H1B). Finally, I predicted that a multivariate model would be able to properly predict captivity status in Lemur catta using linear variables. Captive Lemur catta showed significantly (p = 0.0126) shorter relative post-palatal lengths than their wild counterparts, supporting H1A, and significantly (p = 0.0374) smaller variance in the inio-orbital (post-facial) region, supporting H1B. However, captive individuals showed significantly (p = 0.0390) greater variance in anterior flexion of the angular process, which refuted H1B. A step-wise discriminant function model was able to properly predict captivity status in a sample of n = 18 Lemur catta using four linear variables (R2 = 0.9336). Descriptive statistics across sex and other lemur species revealed differences that should be noted by scholars, specifically significantly (p = 0.0250) longer alveo-orbital AO (pre-facial) regions in male Lemur catta. The findings of this thesis, including its critique of physical and intellectual conservation of data, should be taken into account by museum professionals, animal husbandry personnel, and morphologists alike, and all measurements and findings shall be published on open access servers.

Full text
Abstract:
Zimbabwean history is rooted in ethnic and cultural identities, inequalities, and injustices which the post-colonial government has sought to address since its national independence in 1980. Marginalisation of some ethnic groups has been one of the persistent problems in post-colonial Zimbabwe. Of particular significance to this thesis has been the marginalisation of the BaTonga people of north-western Zimbabwe. The marginalisation of the BaTonga people is historical with its roots traceable from the colonial era through the early years of national independence. Post-colonial Zimbabwe's emphasis on cultural identity and confirmation has, however, prompted the establishment of community museums such as the BaTonga Community Museum (BCM), to promote cultures of the local people. The establishment of cultural heritage sites such as the BCM has, however, impacted on the lives of the local people in various ways. This study critically examines the effects and socio-economic contribution of the BCM to the local communities, which ranges from generation of revenue to education training, environmental conservation and creation of employment in several sectors of the economy. On examining this topic, I draw extensively on the work of Kopytoff, who wrote about biographies of things. In his work, Kopytoff argues that all things, including cultural objects relate in a way that allows the analysis of relationships between persons and things as a process of social transformation that involves a series of changes in status. As Kopytoff (1986) insists, cultural biographical approach is culturally informed given that things are culturally constructed and reconstructed in much the same way people are culturally (re-)constructed through time. I draw on the work of Kopytoff in a critically sympathetic manner to delve into the effects and socio-economic contribution of the BCM to the local communities. I, nevertheless, bring to the fore the argument that although Kopytoff does not explicitly argue that things have life, his cultural biographical approach implies this and that by tracing a biography of a thing we recognise its agency as 7 well. It is through the careful analysis of agency of these things that I examine the effects and socio-economic contribution of the BCM to communities surrounding the site.

Abstract:
For my Master of Arts in American Indian Studies at the University of Arizona I have done a comparative analysis of the Docent program's at the Arizona State Museum and the National Museum of the American Indian. A docent program or guided tour program, is part of educational programing at each museum. In order to fully understand and appreciate objects in a museum, especially those in exhibits dealing with Native Americans, requires interpretation. The guided tour is one of the most popular interpretive techniques. In this particular study, I focus on the use of storytelling as an interpretive technique. This study was done in an educational setting through informal observation of the docents, personal interviews and discussion with the docents and Educational Coordinators at each museum, examination of educational training, examination of Native American education techniques, and investigation of storytelling and its relationship to museums and Native peoples.

Full text
Abstract:
In 1911 a Yahi man wandered out of the Northern California landscape and into the twentieth century. He was immediately collected and installed at the just opened Anthropology Museum by Alfred Kroeber at the University of California's Parnassus Heights campus. Dedication invitations came from the U.C. Regents led by Phoebe Apperson Hearst. Maintaining the discretion of his indigenous culture this man would not divulge his name. Kroeber named him Ishi, the Yahi word for man. These assembled facts introduce narrative streams that continue to unfold around us. To examine these contingent individuals, events and institutions collectively labeled Ishi myth is to examine our own position, our horizon. Looking for Ishi is a series of interventions and appropriations of Ishi myth involving video installation, looping DVD, encrypted motion images, web work, streaming video, print objects, written and spoken word, and documentation of the author's own insurgent movements through the Yahi landscape. [The following is a summary of an art, writing, and media project in progress.]
