Abstract:
In September 1992, we embarked upon a research project designed to investigate lesbian attitudes towards HIV/AIDS risk and the impact on these attitudes of a safer sex workshop for lesbians and bisexual women. This project was part of a graduate seminar aimed at familiarizing students in the Anthropology Department at the University of Kentucky with techniques involved in community-based ethnographic research. As anthropologists, we were interested in collecting data on individual behaviors and perceptions of risk. We then wanted to contrast our findings with institutionally recognized risk ca

Abstract:
Whether as professional endeavor or intimate personal experience, anthropologists are going beyond the ivory tower to work on projects where intervention and social change are the norm. This paper traces the journey of one academic as she ventures out of the classroom to become a social change agent late in her career. Discussion focuses on the dynamic process of applying twenty-five years of women and development studies to the creation of a campaign for girls' education in a Guatemalan town. Based on her considerable knowledge of gender relations in the community, the author is able to work

Abstract:
Abstract COVID-19 brought widespread social isolation, anxiety, and economic instability. No aspect of societal function was unaffected, including anthropologists’ ability to use traditional face-to-face methodologies. In this paper, we describe our adaptation to these constraints as we examine the problems people faced during the early pandemic. We draw on cultural ecology to discuss how researchers and the public adapted to extraordinarily challenging environments. We conducted an anonymous online survey with Connecticut residents to assess behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes about COVID-19

 Menopause is defined by its relationship to menstruation––it is the cessation of menstruation. Medical texts identify menopause as part of the cycle of “decay” associated with female reproductive functions; early menopause is often a dreaded result of various medical treatments and a sign of disfunction.
 It turns out that only three types of animals experience menopause: killer whales, short-finned pilot whales, and humans, while other animals can reproduce until death. Although the precise relationship between evolutionary theory and the physical development of huma

Abstract:
In recent years the analysis of individual communities in England has shed increasing light on their economic, social, demographic, cultural and religious development during the three centuries prior to the Industrial Revolution. Contemporaneously, and to some extent resulting from these local studies, there has been a growing interest in the family and patterns of inheritance. Similarly, among social anthropologists there has been the development of the concept of ‘strategy’ with writings on marriage, fertility, inheritance and migration strategies, although these may be regarded as component

AbstractAs Response and Resilience Team Anthropologist for Oxfam GB, my role was to support an inclusive, community-led Ebola response through a better understanding of gender dynamics in the context of the outbreak. This case study identified stigma and blame of affected people as key factors in the ongoing epidemic. Despite social mobilisation efforts to address these attitudes, they remained ingrained in the Ebola response at multiple levels: in Government of Sierra Leone quarantine policies, in community by-laws and in everyday social interactions.

Abstract:
The image and interpretation of the ballerina has shifted over time since she first took her place in the pantheon of romantic female performers in the early nineteenth century. For many, she is still romanticized, respected, and revered; in other circles, she has become suspect as a creature who may be obsessed, exploited, and retrogressive in light of the egalitarian strides women have made or are still trying to make. The female ballet dancer's basic contradiction—her ethereal exterior and her iron-willed interior—has not been sufficiently accounted for in either scheme, nor has it been wov

The book by the well-known historian and anthropologist Galina Zelenina deals with some problems of the historical experience of baptized Jews in the Pyrenean peninsula. The scholar explores some issues of life under the severe control of the Inquisition and social surroundings through the perspective of cultural anthropology, stressing the problems of the “silent majority” and its identity. Zelenina emphasizes that conversos were located between two worlds whilst being Others to both, relativists and multiculturalists of the period.

Abstract:
Beyond being a renowned founding proponent and scholar of Brazilian miscegenation theory, not much is known about Gilberto Freyre as a poet. His unique poetic collection, Poesia Reunida[i] (1980) [Collected Poetry], provides a rare window into the journeys and reflections of the anthropologist as he travels the world. Invoking issues related to women, family, slavery, nostalgic landscapes, and an overall sensibility to Lusotropicalist fantasies, Freyre embraces multiracial ideology while also exuding a laissez-faire attitude towards the struggles of the weak—,the colonized Amerindian and ensla

Despite all the medical and media attention focused on the rate of overweight and obesity in the African American population, African American images and body types are greatly influencing changes in the fashion, fitness, advertising, television and movie industries. This is because overweight, like beauty, can be in the eye of the beholder. Most research studies investigating attitudes about body image and body type among African Americans have shown they are more satisfied with their bodies than are their white counterparts and that there appears to be a wider range of acceptable body shapes

Abstract:
Abstract In the ethnology of indigenous Amazonian societies the theme of human work has normally been dealt with as part of the ethnographic analysis of the gendered division of labour in the domestic economy. The resulting literature has generated considerable discussion about how gendered work roles determine the relative status of women and men in Amerindian societies. As well as investigating gender issues relating to human labour, Amazonian anthropologists have explored the importance of cultural attitudes towards work in social organization, leadership, and political economy.

Abstract Mack’s rendering of her fears and fantasies about London suggests historically specific gendered aspects of Australian women’s attraction to the imperial metropolis. This chapter explores spatial and geographic dimensions of that attraction and how Australian women’s negotiation of London’s public spaces was part of this period of modernity. White colonial women appropriated new possibilities for physical and social mobility, including new professional and career opportunities, as they remade their subjectivities, lives, and spaces in the city.

Abstract:
Abstract I would like to take up an issue that is succinctly raised by Pierre Bourdieu in his Outline of a Theory of Practice. The notion that social groups produce arbitrary modes of thinking and acting, social structures, and the like is common anthropological fare. Interested in the Marxist problematics of power and ideology, Bourdieu (1977:164) goes on to suggest that “every established order tends to produce (to very different degrees with very different means) the naturalization of its own arbitrariness.” A similar concern guides Michel Foucault’s work on the emergence in the seventeenth
