Abstract:

My initial experience with applied anthropology began in cyber-space. In the fall of 1994, I was considering a leave from my doctoral program in cultural anthropology at Harvard University and was searching for employment in which I could test the practicality of my anthropological skills. My most marketable professional experience at that time was several months involvement in implementing the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) at Harvard's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. In response to an inquiry I posted on an anthropology listserve, Rebecca Joseph,

Abstract:

Formal course instruction in mineralogy and geology began in Harvard College in 1788 with Benjamin Waterhouse. He also assembled in the 1780's a reference and teaching collection of minerals, rocks, and ores—the first natural history collection at Harvard—that, following a gift by an English friend, J. C. Lettsom, became a cynosure of the College. Following Waterhouse's dismissal in 1812, the instruction was carried on by John Gorham until 1824. Waterhouse, his colleague Aaron Dexter, and Gorham all were professors in the Harvard Medical School, established 1782. The latter two men successivel

Abstract:

This research utilizes the case study method to examine the effectiveness of truancy statutes recently implemented in Florida's Fourth Judicial Circuit prior to the 1999-2000 school year. The statutes were implemented state wide, but this study concentrates on the Fourth Judicial Circuit. The Fourth Judicial Circuit in Northeast Florida consists of Duval, Clay, and Nassau Counties. The legislation examined requires individual schools to conduct an initial truancy intervention when a student has accumulated 5 unexcused absences in a calendar month or 10 unexcused absences in any 90-day period.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the social and economic relations of the Enxet indigenous people of the Paraguayan Chaco region who place a high value on egalitarianism, generosity and personal autonomy. However, during the twentieth century their land has been colonized by cattle ranchers and they have been obliged to enter the market economy. While anthropologists have proposed a range of theories to explain indigenous social and economic relations, the main concern of this thesis is to examine how the Enxet themselves explain their social behaviour.

Abstract:

Advances in medical technology have altered the need for certain types of surgery to be performed in traditional inpatient hospital settings. Less invasive surgical procedures allow a growing number of medical treatments to take place on an outpatient basis. Hospitals face growing competition from ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). The competitive threats posed by ASCs are important, given that inpatient surgery has been the cornerstone of hospital services for over a century. Additional research is needed to understand how surgical volume shifts between and within acute care general hospitals

Abstract:

This chapter includes an interview with Rebecca Lemov on the history of anthropological collaboration. It discusses Lemov's dissertation on the history of collaborations created by anthropologists in the 1930s and 1940s that became known as the Human Relations Area Files. It also describes Lemov's work as a dream of achieving social control or human engineering through an advanced behaviorism via advanced behaviorist design. The chapter mentions Coordinated Investigation of Micronesian Anthropology, recognized as CIMA and SILA, which was done in Latin America during World War II as some of Lemov's projects. It talks about the Harvard Department of Social Relations Five Cultures project, which was an intensive study of five neighboring demarcated cultures in Ramah, New Mexico.

Abstract:

Developing the concern with the place of education in Seamus Heaney’s work, Chapter 4 follows him to America in the 1980s and considers at length the impact on his poetry of the fourteen years he spent in the English Department at Harvard. This is a period in which Heaney’s aesthetic range is broadening, opening to international influences, and absorbing and expressing political realities in new ways. However, it is also a time of self-assertion and resistance, as he recognized in retrospect. Teaching in the US during the canon wars and exposed to the provocative discourses of literary theory, he retreats into his own certainties and convictions about language and tradition.

Abstract:

Conant liked to recall that he became president of Harvard in the same year that Franklin D. Roosevelt became president of the United States and Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany. The University would feel the impact of what those others wrought. More than ever before in its long history, Harvard during the 1930s and 1940s found itself enmeshed in the affairs of the world outside. Harvard had a presence in the early New Deal: but aside from alumnus FDR and Felix Frankfurter, not a very conspicuous one. The Alumni Bulletin took note of the absence of Harvard faculty in FDR’s early Brains Trust, and in 1936 Conant estimated that only five or six out of a staff of eighteen hundred had been granted leaves of absence since 1930 to work for the federal government. A member of the Economics department, asked about Harvard’s lack of visibility in Washington, replied: “We are standing by for the next New Deal!” Nor was the New Deal popular with a preponderantly Republican faculty and student body. In a Crimson poll in the fall of 1934, undergraduates opposed Roosevelt’s policies by 1,149–704, the faculty by 141–50. Though Conant voted for FDR, he was careful to preserve the outward forms of political neutrality. But conservative alums soon had a Harvard New Dealer they loved to hate: Law Professor Felix Frankfurter, ace recruiter for the New Deal, eminence grise to FDR, Vienna-born Jew. A fund-raiser reported trouble with donors over Frankfurter in the spring of 1934, and Mrs. Charles Francis Adams, the wife of Harvard’s former treasurer, “quizzed” Conant “heavily on whether or not Felix Frankfurter was a dangerous communist.” Conant had ample opportunity to polish up what became his standard response to radicalism-at-Harvard complaints: indignant denial that students were taught sedition and appeals to “the glorious tradition of freedom which is our heritage.” When an alumnus wanted to know what the University was doing about indoctrination by New Dealish professors, Conant quickly changed the subject to academic freedom: “democracy is made safe only to the extent that a reasonably tolerant point of view is engendered in the people at large.

Abstract:

The two authors of this chapter work at the Department of Ancient and Modern Civilization of the University of Messina and both have been appointed by their Department to teach two modules (Fundamentals of Cultural Anthropology and Philosophical Anthropology) of 6 CFUs (European credit transfer system credits) each for the FIT program. Both gave their lectures in the second semester of 2018 to approximately 850 future teachers. Their modules are part of phase one of the three we have mentioned above, that is, preparation for the degree that allows access to teaching. This involves the collection of 24 CFUs which are to be collected in the anthropological and psycho-pedagogic disciplines. Based on fieldwork and participant observation, which lasted three months and until December 2018, this chapter suggests a view to understanding the new Italian educational system through what we have first seen from within our own classrooms, and later through what we will see following the teachers in their own classrooms in September (classrooms and teachers which we have already identified).

Abstract:

John Cyril Smith (1922–2003), a Fellow of the British Academy, was Emeritus Professor of Law at the University of Nottingham where he headed the Law Department for three decades. In 1952–1953, Smith was awarded a Commonwealth Fund Fellowship at Harvard University and became impressed by the casebook method of teaching. The only subject he had taught every year throughout his career was evidence. His deep understanding of the law was apparent in his case commentaries on the subject for the Criminal Law Review, although by the mid-1980s he was handing over many evidence cases to his colleague and former student Diane Birch for commentary. He was a strong advocate of the presumption of innocence, in the form of the principle. It is chiefly for his work on the substantive criminal law that Smith will be long remembered. In addition to his three decades as Head of the Law Department at the University of Nottingham, and all his academic writings, Smith gave considerable time to official committees and other public service work.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter suggests that just as during the 1960s American evangelicals idealized the Waorani as examples of missionary success, a decade later critics of missions and especially of the Summer Institute of Linguistics looked to the Waorani as evidence of the way missionaries damaged tribal cultures. After 1975 the criticisms in Ecuador became more widespread, coming from, among others, the anthropology department of the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador and from ¡Fuera de Aquí! (Get Out of Here!), a film by the Bolivian director Jorge Sanjinés seen by millions of Ecuadorians. Although ¡Fuera de Aquí! accused missionaries of a secret sterilization campaign against indigenous women, in the Amazonian rainforest the Waorani maintained healthy birth rates, and SIL staff helped them cope with more pressing matters of health: appropriate use of medicines, sanitation, and the prevalence of poisonous snakebites.

Abstract:

Emrys Jones (1920–2006), a Fellow of the British Academy, was a geographer who, together with his elder brother, Alun, was raised in the Cynon Valley mining community of Aberaman in South Wales. In 1938, he entered University College Wales, Aberystwyth to study geography. Social anthropology and prehistoric archaeology dominated the teaching programme he experienced – with physical geography largely taught in the Department of Geology. The work on the Teify valley, Tregaron and Utica – all completed if not published by 1950 – together provide a clear view of the underlying philosophy of human geography that Jones sustained throughout his career. He also wrote papers on rural settlement patterns. At the London School of Economics, Jones focused on social geography. The last of his major projects – which occupied much of his retirement – was his study of the Welsh in London.
