Subject: 3/19/2001 Chronicle Report on Community Colleges

The Chronicle of Higher Education's
Weekly Report on COMMUNITY COLLEGES
_________________________________________________________________

Here is news of interest to community colleges from our March 23
issue. The Web addresses refer to the online versions of the
articles.

TOP STORIES:

*  'ONE BOARD PER CAMPUS': As individual public institutions
   seek more autonomy, a growing number of states are breaking
   up systemwide governance and giving colleges their own
   boards, for better or worse.
   --> SEE http://chronicle.com/weekly/v47/i28/28a02401.htm

*  MERGERS ON THE RISE: More colleges are deciding that they
   will fare better by joining with other institutions, but the
   consolidations are difficult to negotiate and to manage.
   --> SEE http://chronicle.com/weekly/v47/i28/28a02601.htm

*  VIRGINIA SQUEEZE: Public colleges in the state will have
   to halt work on multimillion-dollar construction projects,
   and faculty and staff members will forgo pay increases,
   under the budget announced last week by the governor.
   --> SEE http://chronicle.com/weekly/v47/i28/28a02202.htm

*  NO SUNSHINE: The Nevada Supreme Court ruled that community-
   college presidents are not public officers, and that as a
   result, state officials may interview candidates for the
   positions behind closed doors.
   --> SEE http://chronicle.com/weekly/v47/i28/28a02203.htm

*  BALANCING THE BOOKS: Wallace's Bookstores, which operates
   stores on 74 four-year- and two-year-college campuses,
   declared bankruptcy.
   --> SEE http://chronicle.com/weekly/v47/i28/28a03101.htm

*  COMMITTEE COMPROMISE: Members of a House education panel
   have agreed to alter its new structure for overseeing
   college programs, satisfying Democrats who said the initial
   change had slighted institutions with large minority
   enrollments.
   --> SEE http://chronicle.com/weekly/v47/i28/28a02002.htm

*  CAREER NETWORK: In a first-person feature on our Web site,
   Ellen Levine Bremen chronicles her successful search for
   a tenure-track job at a community college.

ALSO OF INTEREST TO COMMUNITY COLLEGES:

*  DEGREE FACTORIES: State regulators struggle to clamp down
   on unaccredited "diploma mills," which offer degrees and
   certificates for online instruction, mostly via the Web.
   --> SEE http://chronicle.com/weekly/v47/i28/28a03401.htm

*  LOBBYIST WATCH: The United States Student Association staged
   a rally at the Capitol to protest the extent of President
   Bush's proposed tax cut.
   --> SEE http://chronicle.com/weekly/v47/i28/28a02003.htm

*  MONEY FOR EDUCATION: A U.S. Senate panel passed legislation
   to provide more than $20-billion of education-related tax
   benefits, and agreed to hold hearings to examine tax proposals
   that would encourage greater giving to colleges.

Subject: [ANTHRO-L] AAA Panel: Medicine and Social Transformation

Sorry for the cross-postings.  I'm trying to get this
message out to a wide audience.  Thank you for your patience.

Dear ANTHRO-L list members:

I am hoping to form a panel on Medicine and Social Transformation
for the AAA meetings this November-December.  The panel will focus
on the local repercussions of those dominant Western (specifically,
North American) biomedical values and practices which have emerged
in the last four decades,particularly surrounding issues of informed
consent, patients' rights,and patient autonomy.  I am interested in
how such practices are interpreted in places where the practice of
medicine has been shaped by vastly different ideas of personhood,
the body, and the patient-doctor relationship. Moreover, I am
interested in how these practices get debated in discussions and
conflicts over the nature of appropriate care in diverse cultural
settings. How do doctors and patients living and working within
different cultural, social, and political contexts interpret such
terms as "informed consent" and "patient autonomy"?  How do they
define local medical practices in relation to supposedly universal
(and, hence, uniform) biomedical standards?  Are Western biomedical
standards considered desirable and/or attainable?

In my own research, I examine the case of HIV/AIDS in Japan.  I am
interested in issues of diagnosis and disclosure, testing and consent,
refusal of care, and the relationship between PWAs (people with HIV/AIDS)
and those NGOs (non-governmental organizations) which have sprung up
since the 1980s in order to assist and support patients living with this
highly stigmatized, but increasingly treatable, condition.

I am eager to get in touch with other anthropologists working on
issues of medicine and social change in diverse areas of the globe,
whether in the developed or the developing world.  Please let me
know if you you think your work would be an appropriate fit for such
a panel. There is some flexibility here, as I plan on completing the
session abstract after hearing back from potential presenters, but
the general theme should be the tension between "universal" and
"local" medical practices.

There is, of course, very little time before the April 2nd deadline, but
I believe this panel addresses some really important issues and should
be included in the program.  If you agree, then please contact me.  I
hope to hear from you! (Alternatively, please contact me if you think my
work is an appropriate fit with *your* panel, on medicine, social movements,
or stigma, more generally).

Sincerely,
Joanne Cullinane

Management (BLM) to preserve and maintain the National Register eligible
Garnet Ghost Town.  Garnet Ghost Town is located in the Garnet Mountains of
western Montana.

In 1895,  Dr. Armistead Mitchell erected a stamp mill to crush local ore
and a town formed around the mill.  This town was originally called
Mitchell, but in 1897 became known as Garnet.  In 1898, the town was
booming with 1000 people, over 31 businesses, and numerous residences.
Now, no one remains except for the caretaker, 25 buildings, a few GPA
employees and volunteers, and many visitors.  To learn more about Garnet,
visit the website - garnetghosttown.org

Currently, there are numerous artifacts in Garnet Ghost Town that need to
be identified, photographed and cataloged.  In addition, a Collections
Management policy needs to be developed and implemented in order to track
the artifacts condition and location within Garnet Ghost Town to ensure
their preservation.

  BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES: The Student Curator will identify,
photograph and catalog all the artifacts associated with Garnet Ghost Town.
In addition, the Student Curator will be required to develop a collections
management policy for continued care, preservation and retrieval of the
artifacts at Garnet.  This policy will include a formal process for the
employees at Garnet to use for handling and relocating the artifacts at
Garnet Ghost Town.

  DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS: Applicants should have background course work in
Western History, Mining History, Museology and/or laboratory or
collection's management experience.  In addition, the applicant should have
a knowledge of historic artifacts and familiarity with Collections
Management databases.  Candidates should be focused, motivated, thorough
and able to work independently.

  SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The majority of the work will be done at Garnet
Ghost Town.  Garnet is located approximately 30 miles east of Missoula,
Montana.   Access to Garnet is via a gravel road.  Travel to and from
Garnet are the responsibility of the applicant.  Pay will be provided at a
rate of $1900.00 per month.

  WORK SCHEDULE:  40 hours per week for 12 weeks.  Starting and ending
dates can be negotiated to fit the individual's academic schedule.

  PROJECT SUPERVISOR: Maria A. Craig, Missoula Field Office Archaeologist

Subject: Creationism Bill in Michigan - Is Michigan to take the Title
"Intellectual Backwater" from Kansas?

*******************************************************************************
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SIGNING UP FOR AND USING THIS LISTSERVE ARE AT THE END OF THIS
MESSAGE.  PLEASE FEEL FREE TO FORWARD THIS TO ANY INTERESTED PARTIES.
*******************************************************************************

Dear Colleagues,

        Judith Weis of the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS)
sent the following message about an "equal time for creationism" bill under
consideration by the Michigan legislature.  The capitalized portion of the bill
Judith refers to is copied below and the entire bill follows a brief message
from her.  Please forward this message to any scientists, science educators or
managers of science education listservers you know in Michigan. Also those of
us originally from Michigan (such as myself) or who went to college in Michigan
(Scott, Bob and I) may wish to contact the legislature expressing our harsh
disapproval of damaging science education in Michigan by including the
pseudoscience of creationism in the disguise of intelligent design "theory".  I
think most "Michiganders" (including me) do not want Michigan to replace Kansas
as an international intellectual laughingstock!

Thank-you, best wishes and good luck to our friends and colleagues in Michigan!

Yahoo says the high today  is  70 deg F  and the low is  45 deg F.

I am planning to bring a digital camera along for the field trips.   If enough people would like a CD of the images, I'll ask SACC to cover the cost of materials, then sell the disk(s) as a fund raiser  (probably around $10).

Anybody think that they'd be interested?

I also have been following the weather reports for Oaxaca, but I've been getting very different reports and predictions from Yahoo and CNN. For example, tomorrow's forecast (Sunday) on Yahoo is a high of 70 and a low of 32, but the forecast on CNN is a high of 88 and a low of 48. Which is correct? I really don't want to drag along a jacket if I don't have to.

Although I'm bringing alone a camera, I'm a terrible photographer. The CD is a great idea!

Subject: [ANTHRO-L] Anthropological Index Online Retrospective
conversion completed

I am pleased to announce that the Anthropological Index Online
Retrospective conversion is now complete and available online. The main URL
is
http://lucy.ukc.ac.uk/AIO.html

As well as adding some 100,000 records going back to 1957 - which were
originally published on paper as vols 1-22 of the Anthropological Index we
have modified the existing data to ensure consistency with the
retro-converted entries. This means that searching by the language of the
article is now possible. One immediate caveat to note is that the language
has not been recorded in all cases. This applies especially to widely
spoken European languages such as English, French, German and Spanish. On
the other hand languages such as Kazakh etc. are always marked. Languages
used include the following: Albanian, Armenian, Belorussian, Bulgarian,
Chinese, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Japanese, Kazakh, Polish,
Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbo-Croat, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish,
Turkish, Ukrainian.  The language names used reflect current usage when the
data was added!

Note that at present it is not possible to do "NOT" searching (so, for
example, you cannot opt to exclude non- spanish sources). We are aware of
the need for this and are considering means to enable it.

The retrospective conversion has been enabled by grants to the Royal
Anthropological Institute from the Getty Foundation, ESRC (UK), the Mellon
Trust, the Pilgrim Trust and the Marsh
Christian Trust for which we are extremely grateful. The main work of the
conversion was undertaken by the UK Higher Education Digitisation service
(HEDS).

Subject: [ANTHRO-L] Call for Proposals: Disciplining Families

Hello Anthro-L

I am putting together a (quite last minute) panel for the 2001 AAA meetings
in Washington D.C. from Nov 28th to Dec 2. Please see a brief (and
preliminary) panel abstract below. If you are interested, please contact me
directly (and quickly!) at the email address below. The deadline for
submitting to the AAA is fast approaching (April 2). Abstracts should be 250
words.

Call for Proposals: Disciplining Families
While anthropologists have a long interest in studying the family, much
contemporary anthropolgoical work on the family examines the social stakes
involved in defining *family.* The family and its aspects--gender roles,
child-rearing practices, privacy, household economy--are defined and
disciplined in the name of the nation, modernity, and ethnic purity. This
panel explores the ideological battles surrounding the family by looking at
cases of failed or failing family normativity: bad mothers, desiring women,
adulterine children, violent youth, feminized men.

Thank you,

Yahoo says the weather is   50- 90 deg F.  They get their information from somebody called WeatherNews.

CNN says 50 and 86. I don't know where they get their data.

Possible actions:

1) Someone should pass on to the Arkansas press establishment the knowledge
of Kent Hovind's involvement in helping write the bill, and a listing of
Hovind's credentials.  Politely showing that Hovind is a fraud on many
fronts may go a long ways towards embarassing the legislaton's sponsors.

2) A brief statement to the relevant committee members that the sweeping
language of the bill will require that all religious texts used in state
sponsored eductation courses also be highlighted as presenting false
evidence.

Dear Colleagues,

Below (far below!) is the account of a close call in Arkansas with what
may be the most sweeping anti-evolution bill in recent times.  The act's
title
pretty well says it all:

AN ACT TO PROHIBIT STATE AGENCIES AND OTHER PUBLIC ENTITIES FROM USING
TAX DOLLARS TO PURCHASE OR DISTRIBUTE MATERIAL THAT THAT THEY KNOW OR
SHOULD HAVE KNOWN CONTAINS, OR PRESENTS AS FACTUAL, INFORMATION WHICH
HAS BEEN PROVEN FALSE OR FRAUDULENT; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

From: http://www.arkleg.state.ar.us/ftproot/bills/2001/htm/HB2548.pdf

The act states that:

SECTION 1. (a) No state agency, city, county, school district, or political
subdivisions shall use any public funds to provide instruction or purchase
books, documents or other written material which it knows or should have
known
contain descriptions, conclusions, or pictures designed to promote the false
evidences setforth in subsection (d) of this section.

The act is worded so that all governmental agencies of any type are
included, clearly including (although not explicitly stated in the act)
state
colleges and universities, with specific instructions for flagging
information
seen as "unfit".  It states:

(c)(1) During classroom instruction conducted by state agencies, museums,
zoos,
public schools, and political subdivisions of the state, when any statement
in
instructional material is identified by the instructor to be a false
evidence
under subsection (d), the instructor shall instruct the class to make a
marginal notation that the statement is a false evidence under this act.

(2) During classroom instruction conducted by state agencies, museums, zoos,
public schools, and political subdivisions of the state, when any statement
in
instructional material is identified by the instructor to be a theory, the
instructor shall instruct the class to make a marginal notation that the
statement is a theory.

In section (d) the bill gives a starting list of items designated by
this law as fraudulent or "unproved" theories, all of which sound like they
were lifted straight off creationist Kent Hovind's web page (Hovind was a
witness before the education committee). Here is the list, which sounds like
a
standard set of creationists distortions, misquotations and erroneous
complaints against evolution:

(3) Example of such theories include, but shall not be limited to:

(A) The theory of the age of the earth;

(B) The theory of the origin of life;

(C) The theory that homology in vertebrate limbs is evidence for common
ancestry;

(D) The theory that the <LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK>geologic column<RIGHT
DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK> accurately represents different time
periods on earth. The <LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK>geologic column<RIGHT
DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK> does not exist anywhere on the earth,
except in textbooks; and

(E) The theory that fossils represents missing links between life forms. It
can
not be proven that any fossil had any offspring.

(F) Carbon, Radioisotope Dating;

(i) Shells from living snails were carbon dated as being 27,000 years old;

(ii) One part of the Vollosovitch Mammoth carbon dated at 29,500 years and
another part at 44,000 years; and

(G) Potassium Argon Dating. Basalt from Mount Kilauea Iki, Hawaii in 1959
gave
a K-AR age of 8,500,000 years old.

(3) Many ideas and evidences of prior scientific work once believed to be
true
have been proven false or even fraudulent in many cases, including, but not
limited to the following:

(A)(i) Haeckel<RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK>s Embryos;

(ii) Proven false in 1874 by Professor Wilhelm His, Sr. Ernst Haeckel was
convicted of fraud for this in 1874. Human embryos never have gills <EN
DASH> not even
rudimentary ones;

(B)(i) The Miller <EN DASH> Urey Experiment;

(ii) Scientists have never proven that this test represents the atmosphere
at
any time on earth.

(C)(i) Archaeopteryx as a missing link;

(ii) An X-ray resonance spectrograph of the British Museum fossil showed
that
the material containing the feather impressions differed significantly from
the
rest of the fossil slab.

(D)(i) Peppered Moths;

(ii) The photographs used in current textbooks are fraudulent as the moths
were
discovered to be dead and glued in place.

(E)(i) Fossil Horses;

(ii) It is fraudulent to state that modern horses descended from fossil
horses
with four toes.

(F)(i) Heidelberg Man;

(ii) Built from a jaw bone that was conceded to be quite human;

(G)(i) Nebraska Man; 24

(ii) Scientifically built up from one tooth and later learned to be the
tooth
of an extinct pig;

(H)(i) Piltdown Man;

(ii) The jawbone actually belonged to a modern ape;

(I)(i) Peking Man;

(ii) Supposedly 500,000 years old. Ten humans were found with the <LEFT
DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK>Peking Man<RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK>
along with crushed monkey skulls and tools.

(J)(i) Neanderthal Man;

(ii) At the International Congress of Zoology (1958) Dr. A. J. E. Cave said
his
examination showed that the famous Neanderthal skeleton found in France over
50
years ago is that of an old man who suffered from arthritis;

(K)(i) Homo-erectus (originally <LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK>Java Man<RIGHT
DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK> and later Pithecanthropus erectus)
was made from a few scraps of bone found in 1891.

(ii) The skull cap came from an ape and three teeth and thigh bone (50 feet
away) came from a human. Two normal human skulls were also found, but
purposely
hidden for 30 years.

(L)(i) Cro-Magnon Man; 6

(ii) One of the earliest and best-established fossils is at least equal in
physique and brain capacity to modern man;

(M)(i) <LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK>Lucy;<RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK>

(ii) Charles Oxnard studied 16 years and used computer multi-variant
analysis
and concluded <LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK>Lucy<RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK>
is not intermediate

(N)(i) Vestigial Structures;

(ii) As science improves, our knowledge of the body has increased and
functions
of parts formerly thought to be useless are becoming known; and no proven
vestigial structures exists.

(O)(i) Lobe-fined fish;

(ii) Lobe-fined fish are <LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK>index fossils<RIGHT
DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK> for rock 325-410 million years old.
These fish are still alive today. <LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION
MARK>Coelacanth<RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK> was found in 1938 and still
inhabits the Indian Ocean. It is obvious that it cannot be an <LEFT DOUBLE
QUOTATION MARK>index fossil<RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK>
for any age rock.

What follows below is an account of what happened with this bill.
Although the bill has currently been tabled it is still possible that it
will
come up again.  The thrust of this bill is similar to what Kent Hovind and
other creationists of his ilk are trying to do:  Have evolution declared a
religion by legislative fiat, making it un-fundable by government money
(i.e.,
they hope to invoke the first amendment as grounds to stop funding or
teaching
evolution because they claim it is a religion).  During my debate with Kent
Hovind it was absolutely clear that is the direction he wants to move the
fight, and I am sure he is not alone in this approach.  As a biologist, I
will
need the help of philosophers and theologians to show why the claim
evolution
is a religion is "phony as a $3.00 bill".  Although we all know evolution is
NOT a religion articulating that fact using the right constructs might be
difficult.  Any suggestions?

Best wishes,

Steve Edinger

Subject: Arkansas bill, HB 2548

Here is a review of what happened in Arkansas last week, based on
reports from several observers on the scene and  news reports. If you
don't have time to read this, please skip to the last paragraph, where I
ask for some further help.

On March 5, HB 2548 was introduced in the Arkansas legislature,
apparently as a "shell" bill, without its eventual content. It was
referred to the State Agencies and Governmental Affairs Committee, not
the Education Committee.

On March 19, it was amended, introducing the entire text as it is still
posted on the legislative web site:
http://www.arkleg.state.ar.us/ftproot/bills/2001/htm/HB2548.pdf

A web page discussing the bill and its apparent creationist sources is a
very useful resource:
http://inia.cls.org/~ae/ar_hb2548.htm

On March 21, the bill was heard in committee. At least two speakers
opposed it, Rita Sklar [executive director, Arkansas Civil Liberties
Union] and Dr. Robyn Hannigan [geologist in the Dept. of Chemistry and
Physics, Arkansas State Univ.]. Sklar was asked by a representative if
she believed in evolution. She said yes. He then asked "So, you think
you were descended from a monkey? Do you think if you teach children
they were descended from animals they will act like animals?" At this
point she apparently did not take advantage of the opportunity to play
T.H. Huxley to this contemporary Bishop Wilberforce.

Kent Hovind was "a key speaker" for the bill. "We're not against
science. We're just against lies." He claimed that Haeckel's embryos
helped spread belief in evolution in Germany, which led to belief in the
superiority of the Aryan race, to Nazism and World War II.  He stated
that this bill is not aimed at removing evolution from classrooms, but
it is wrong to teach children that scientists have evidence of
evolution. Much of the so-called evidence has been disproven, and he
will pay $250,000 to anyone who can prove the theory.

Rep. Holt asked whether taxpayer dollars "should go to fraudulent
information?"

Various other speakers supported the bill, including an 8th grader.
About 20 members of the Eagle Forum attended, wearing "Truth or
Consequences" buttons. In the end, the bill was passed with only one
"no" vote, and sent back to the House.

On March 22, the bill was scheduled for consideration in the House.
However, it ran into procedural trouble when someone objected to its
lack of a required financial impact statement. Rep. Holt said the
statement was on its way, and asked that the rules be suspended to
consider the bill without it. This attempt was defeated, 47-44,
suggesting that at least 44 members were ready to vote for it right
then.

On March 23 the bill again was scheduled in the House. This time there
was a rather lively floor debate. One opponent used the economic
argument: he had spoken to a legislator in Kansas who said that
recruitment and business had been hurt there after 1999. At least some
legislators seem to have learned from Arkansas' past. Said one, "This
law is clearly
unconstitutional. Folks, if we pass this, we will not be shooting
ourselves in the foot; we'll be shooting our foot off."

In the end 45 members voted yes, 36 no, and 19 either present or not
voting. Since 51 votes were needed to pass, it failed. Afterward Rep.
Holt said he wasn't sure whether he would bring it back before the
House. There are about three weeks left in the session during which this
could happen. Obviously it would only take 6 more votes from the 19 to
pass this. The sponsor repeated that he's only trying to set the
scientific record straight. The bill cites evolution examples "because
they are most apparently false".

This situation bears continued vigilence. The bill nearly went from
nothing to passing one house in four days. The Senate is considered less
friendly to this sort of bill, and the governor doesn't seem to be
supporting it, at least publicly. It is most likely dead for this year,
but not definitively.

Finally, another request for assistance in writing to legislators. It
might be worthwhile to send a brief notes of congratulations to all
those who voted no or abstained. It can be considered positive that this
thing didn't even pass one house, much less become law. It was a close
thing. But that's another reason to reinforce those who opposed the
bill, give them some support. The day before the vote, one
representative was quoted in a newspaper saying he was getting almost
entirely messages in support of the bill, many of them from out of
state. Here's a chance to redress that to some degree.

Subject: Re: Next Week In Oaxaca/Need some advice

Me again

Something else I forgot to say is that you will want a day pack or a fanny back that's large enough to hold water bottles.

We will all need to be drinking at least twice as much water as you normally do.  I actually consume about three times my normal intake of water.  You should be able to buy bottled water without a problem.  I only drink the bottled water that I myself purchase.  The restaurants will provide bottled water at meals if you ask for it.  Always check the seal.

I also usally avoid eating chicken in Mexico as some parts of Mexico tend not to cook it as long as needed.  Seafood is usually pretty good and that is what I mostly eat.  Although I don't know how available it will be in Oaxaca.  Soups are usually pretty good as well.

You might want to avoid eating lettuce salads.  Fruits are usually great.

Try to get a little money in the Mexico City airport.  The exchange rate there is not the greatest but it will be enough for you to buy a meal if you have a long lay over.   Should be plenty of money exchanges in Oaxaca.  ATM machines might be sacrce.  But lots of places take VISA/MC.

Leave your American Express card at home as a good number of merchants don't honor it.

In the open markets you will need pesos.

Also we usually tip the hotel maids $10 pesos a day or $1 US dollar.  Mexicans can exchange US paper money easily but not our coins.

Take advantage ot the hotel safe if they have one.

You will need either your passport or some form of ID to cash travelers checks.

And finally take a good supply of pepto bismal.

The airport in Mexico City is not air conditioned and can be quite warm and humid

As far as what the gals need to  wear for dinner:  women usually wear a dress, skirt or dressy slacks for dinner.  Nothing fancy.  Summer dresses or just fine.  

Mary

Jay Gabriel,
I don't know if this is too literal an interpretation of your session or not,
but I'd be interested in learning if this topic would be of interest to you.
In l999 the Society for American Archaeology and several other organizations
sponsored a national opinion poll on what American understand archaeology to
be, how they learn about it, and what kinds of values they put on it.  One of
the most conclusive findings was that Americans learn about archaeology from
the mass media--television, newspapers, popular magazines.  Educational
settings come in a weak second, and avocational activities barely register
among the public.
This information will not come as a complete surprise to anyone who has been
conscious during the last quarter century, but it behooves the profession to
look more closely at how we communicate with the public, and what it is we
want the public to think of us.

Would a paper on this topic fit in with what you are organizing?  If so, I'd
be happy to send you an abstract immediately.  I have already given a paper
including some of this material at the Middle Atlantic Archaeological
Conference.  I am the vice -chair of SAA's Public Education Committee, which
sponsored the poll, I was the SAA staff eduction manager during the poll
project, and I am also a member of AAA's Anthropology Education Commission.

If this doesn't fit in with your concept of a session, don't hesitate to say
so.  But from my point of view,  this would be a good venue to reach people
beyond the usual "archaeology educators" and a good opportunity to raise
philosophical questions about what anthropological knowledge is worth--not to
mention suitable for--sharing.

looking forward to hearing from you,
dorothy krass

Call for Papers:  100 Years of Anthropology: The Transformation of a

Discipline

Washington DC, November 28-December 2, 2001


PROPOSED PANEL:

transmitting culture: media, anthropology, electronic feed-back circuits.


The mass media serves as a site for the manufacture of culture and the

transformations of language and image use.  The relationship of the mass

media

and culture has been approached from various fields, from the early

observations of critical theorists to the indigenous media studies carried

out

in visual anthropology.  Yet as digital media and technology becomes more

interactive and instantaneous, the feedback loop narrows.  As the producers'

and audiences' sophistication towards media literacy increases, commercial

messages tailored to modify the behavior of a consuming public also

constantly

change in response to the dynamic audience.  Because of the heightened

immediacy and globalizing processes of late electronic media, resistance

often

takes the form of attempts to subvert messages.  Such resistance begins to

infiltrate the system at varying points.  Under this rubric, agency becomes

displaced, misplaced or fore-grounded, opening up avenues for culturally

subversive reclamations and demarcations of space and self.  In here lie

areas

of resistance, representation, and transformations of culture.  Areas of

investigation could include exploring what culture jamming, media pranks,

hoaxes and other forms of subversion say about the maintenance and

reproduction of culture and social structure.
