Greetings all,

The Nov AN column is due Sep 15.  What should we put in?  Maren and
Mary Kay, anything new on the Tucson meetings?  Or if nothing's new,
perhaps a few paragraphs highlighting field trips, guest speakers,
plans, even tantalizing restaurants, you know, the kinds of stuff
SACCers like?

Laura, a few words on online stuff--blogging, the next online
newsletter, your take on "second life" virtual sites?

Deborah, the latest on remodeling the website, etc.?

Mark, a paragraph on the AAA Dept. Services Program and/or the
education committee(s) you're serving on?

Anyone: new trips, programs, research, things happening on your
campus, things you'd like (or not like) to happen on your campus, in
the field of anthropology, in the world, etc.?

Bev and I are off on a motor trip Sep 18--should return around Oct 6
or 7--but we're taking a laptop so I won't be totally out of touch.

Best,
Lloyd

Great ideas, Lloyd. Do think we need to at least announce what we can
about the meeting. Do we have the dates?
Also announce the student awards. I see the AAA doesn't have ours up
yet. It does mention the president's award but we've never put together
criteria to formalize it. Something to think about. I'm working on a
teacher award that thought we could offer every other year if all
approve. Will send it out soon to get your feedback. So this year would
be student nominations and next year teacher nominations. Ann

Hi everyone (especially Lloyd), Below is the info on the 5-Fields
presentation if you want to include part of that in the column. I am
puzzling over the timing of the Symposium on Sunday and wonder if a post
symposium dinner is appropriate. So many people will be leaving for home
. While the speakers are all local to the Bay area, only the Rodgers and
I are. If this tradition is to continue, I would guess it should be a
lunch which follows immediately. So how many of you would stay?/Cheers

Five Fields in Anthropology, SACC Invited Panel/Symposium, American
Anthropological Association, November, 2008, Chair, Rob Edwards,
Cabrillo College, California

This is an invited panel/session of the Society for Anthropology in
Community Colleges which has become a valued tradition at the Annual
Meetings of the American Anthropology Association. Panelists are
recruited from the five fields of anthropology: Applied, Archaeology,
Cultural, Linguistics and Physical. Each panelist has chosen some aspect
of their field to synthesize or summarize so that those who are
interested in lower division courses in those fields can be refreshed
and updated on some aspect of the field. Each panelist has about fifteen
minutes for their presentation. Their written papers will be published
in a future issue of ‘Teaching Anthropology”, a newsletter of SACC. (/At
least one presenter will need a LCD projector/.)

*_Linguistics:_  Dr. Leanne Hinton, (UC, Berkeley)*

*“The study of endangered languages:  From documentary linguistics to*

*applied linguistics”.*

  In linguistics, the pendulum is swinging from a very formalistic view of
linguistic theory focused on English and other world languages back to its focus
a century ago on the documentation of endangered languages.  But there is an
important new twist.  A century ago the primary interest was to answer questions
of linguistic science, such as the study of language relationships and language
families, or linguistic typology and the study of grammatical systems.  While
such interests are still strong, there is a major new focus on relating the
study of languages to the interests of the speech communities being studied. 
Thus for endangered languages, linguists in the field are forging new kinds of
partnerships with members of the community, training interested community
members in linguistics, bringing computer technology to communities, assisting
in the development of practical writing systems, creating user-friendly language
materials

for community reference, and finding themselves involved in a myriad of projects
concerning second-language teaching programs, including community classes,
school curriculum development, and other aspects of language revitalization
movements.  Linguists studying endangered languages generally come out of
departments centered around theoretical linguistics and rarely have any training
in such fields as education or second language teaching, and so they are often
flying blind in their efforts to provide useful service to the community.  And
yet the kinds of unique skills necessary to serve the specific array of needs
presented by

communities seeking to maintain or revitalize their endangered languages are not
easily obtained in current programs of education and foreign language teaching. 
Thus we are seeing the birth of a new kind of applied

linguistics, that is being developed now in the field, and will be making its
way more and more into the university setting as young linguists self-trained in
the new applied linguistics train their own students, many

of whom will be the community members themselves.



_Physical:_* Dr. Dennis Etler, Cabrillo College, “The State of Human
Evolutionary Studies in East and Southeast Asia”*

The debate surrounding modern human origins and dispersal has largely
been settled. There is overwhelming genetic evidence attesting to the
African origins of modern /Homo sapiens /and its dispersal out of Africa
commencing around 60-75,000 years ago. The genetic evidence indicates
that early modern humans spread along the Indian Ocean littoral entering
Australasia between 35-50,000 ya and East Asia perhaps as recently as
40-45,000 ya. These dates are supported by archaeological and human
remains in Australia (Malakunanja II, Lake Mungo) and human fossils from
China (Tianyuan, Hebei). There are, however, a number of outstanding
questions that still need to be addressed regarding the course of human
evolution in both Australasia and China. These include, 1) the status of
recently described fossil and subfossil short statured human remains
from the Indonesian island of Flores and the Micronesian archipelago of
Palau, 2) The possible presence of early modern humans in China in
excess of 100,000 ya and, 3) the role that archaic humans played in the
emergence of modern human diversity in both East Asia and Australasia.

*_ Cultural:_ Dr. Carolyn Martin Shaw, (UC Santa Cruz), The Nature of
Gender: Bodies, Culture and the Performance in the construction of gender.*

Social constructionist theories of gender, which hold that gender is not
an essence preceding social expression but an identity that is
constructed and fluid, have been dominant in anthropology for the past
several decades. Strong statements of the social construction of gender
have of late been rocked by transgender/transsexual studies that try to
encompass understanding of individuals who deeply believe that their
gender is inherent and unchanging, while their bodies are mutable or, at
least, can be changed to fit the essence of their perceived gender.
Ordinary people, non-specialists, including our students in American
class rooms, also place importance on the materiality of the body as
they try to grasp the effect of, among other things, “hormones” and
“PMS.” Another attack on social construction from the biological front
comes from genetics, which has given us the “female brain” and the “gay
gene.” Cultural anthropology’s main line of defense is the diversity of
cultures around the world. We can reasonably assert that the meanings
given to bodies and physical functions vary such that genetic
determination is not warranted. And we can argue that science is a part
of the folk belief system of people in the West. Gender is still a
social construction through which individuals perform cultural ideas
about the representation of men and women. Yet a number of
anthropologists, in recognition of the materiality of the body and its
functions, have moved toward a middle position that some call “strategic
constructionism.”

Archaeology: Dr Kent G. Lightfoot, (UC Berkeley ), "The Archaeology of
Colonialism: New Insights from the Pacific Coast of North America"

This paper discusses some of the theoretical and methodological issues
involved in archaeological investigations of colonialism along the
Pacific Coast of North America. Archaeologists today undertake
multi-scalar studies of colonialism that are broadly comparative,
multi-sited, and collaborative. Drawing upon more than a decade of
archaeological investigations, the talk highlights some of the lessons
learned from the study of Russian colonialism in Alaska, Hawaii, and
California in the late 18^th and early 19^th centuries. Focusing on the
Russian colony of Fort Ross in northern California, details will be
presented about how this mercantile enterprise operated, how the colony
was organized, and how the colonists and local Indians interacted with
each other. The findings from the Russian colony are then compared to
recent archaeological investigations of Spanish missions and presidios.
Examples drawn from the work will be used to speak about comparative
research, flexible research designs as part of collaborative programs,
the development of low-intrusive field methods, and the use of multiple
lines of evidence.

Applied: Dr. J. A. English-Lueck, (San Jose State University), “Right
from the Start, Applying Anthropology with Lower Division Students”.

Applied anthropology is increasingly represented in college and
university programs, as graduate degree programs, concentrations in
undergraduate majors, and individual survey courses. Since 1985, the
majority of post-doctoral jobs are outside of academia, yet our
undergraduate, especially lower division, curriculum has been slow to
reflect that reality. The theme of this conference is “inclusion,
collaboration and engagement,” which indicates that the American
Anthropological Association recognizes a shift in emphasis in our
discipline. In my discussion I will discuss the range of applications
traditionally considered—work in development, policy and government, and
the critiques that have emerged. I will outline emerging employment
sectors in nongovernmental organizations, design anthropology and other
entrepreneurial niches. Examples drawn from the discipline at large, and
San Jose State University’s Applied Anthropology Master’s program will
illustrate such applications. Translating these opportunities into
curriculum is the challenge. A mandate of the Society for Applied
Anthropology, which states that “We shall provide training which is
informed, accurate, and relevant to the needs of the larger society,”
can be read to provide hands-on undergraduate experiences. Community
research and service-learning can be incorporated into existing and new
curriculum. Doing so provides opportunities to discuss ethical and
pragmatic issues of application with both colleagues and students.

learned from the study of Russian colonialism in Alaska, Hawaii, and
California in the late 18^th and early 19^th centuries. Focusing on the
Russian colony of Fort Ross in northern California, details will be
presented about how this mercantile enterprise operated, how the colony
was organized, and how the colonists and local Indians interacted with
each other. The findings from the Russian colony are then compared to
recent archaeological investigations of Spanish missions and presidios.
Examples drawn from the work will be used to speak about comparative
research, flexible research designs as part of collaborative programs,
the development of low-intrusive field methods, and the use of multiple
lines of evidence.

Applied: Dr. J. A. English-Lueck, (San Jose State University), "Right
from the Start, Applying Anthropology with Lower Division Students".

Applied anthropology is increasingly represented in college and
university programs, as graduate degree programs, concentrations in
undergraduate majors, and individual survey courses. Since 1985, the
majority of post-doctoral jobs are outside of academia, yet our
undergraduate, especially lower division, curriculum has been slow to
reflect that reality. The theme of this conference is "inclusion,
collaboration and engagement," which indicates that the American
Anthropological Association recognizes a shift in emphasis in our
discipline. In my discussion I will discuss the range of applications
traditionally considered-work in development, policy and government, and

the critiques that have emerged. I will outline emerging employment
sectors in nongovernmental organizations, design anthropology and other
entrepreneurial niches. Examples drawn from the discipline at large, and

San Jose State University's Applied Anthropology Master's program will
illustrate such applications. Translating these opportunities into
curriculum is the challenge. A mandate of the Society for Applied
Anthropology, which states that "We shall provide training which is
informed, accurate, and relevant to the needs of the larger society,"
can be read to provide hands-on undergraduate experiences. Community
research and service-learning can be incorporated into existing and new
curriculum. Doing so provides opportunities to discuss ethical and
pragmatic issues of application with both colleagues and students.

I apologize to the more serious-minded in advance, but the recent mention of the

"When April with its sweet showers has pierced the drought of March to the root,
and bathed every vein of earth with that liquid by whose power the flowers are
engendered; when the zephyr, too, with its dulcet breath, has breathed life into
the tender new shoots in every corpse and on every heath, and the young sun has
run half his course in the sign of the Ram, and the little birds that sleep all
night with their eyes open to song (so Nature prompts them in their hearts),
then, as the poet Geoffrey Chaucer observed many years ago, folk long to go on
pilgrimages. Only, these days, professional people call them conferences.

The modern conference resembles the pilgrimage of medieval Christendom in that
it allows the participants to indulge themselves in all the pleasures and
diversions of travel while appearing to be austerely bent on self-improvement.
To be sure, there are certain penitential exercises to be performed - the
presentation of a paper, perhaps, and certainly listening to the papers of
others. But with this excuse, you journey to new and interesting places, meet
new and interesting people, and form new and interesting relationships with
them; exchange gossip and confidences (for your well-worn stories are fresh to
them, and vice versa); eat, drink and make merry in their company every evening;
and yet, at the end of it all, return home with an enhanced reputation for
seriousness of mind. Today's conferees have an additional advantage over the
pilgrims of old in thta their expenses are usually paid, or at least subsidised,
by the institution to which they belong...."

Thanks, Rob.  This helps a lot.  I too am puzzled about the scheduled
time of the 5-fields Symposium.  I'm driving and am staying at the
Adante Hotel (about 2-3 blocks from the Hilton). Checkout time is
noon, so I would need to check out before the meeting and ask that
they allow me to pick up my car from their lot afterward without
additional charge.  I would be delighted to go to lunch IF the
restaurant has parking at a reasonable rate.  As you know, parking in
SF is difficult to impossible and sometimes prohibitively expensive.

Parking in SF - some local knowledge

The good news is that parking is much easier on Sunday than other
days, and most of the metered parking spots only charge
Monday-Saturday. Right by the Hilton is usually tough because you're
in a tourist-area, but there tend to be plenty of spots on Howard (one
block east of Mission) as well as further to the east, although you
could probably find places closer to the Hilton, as well, if you were
willing to hunt. Parking on Howard or the next street over is still an
pretty flat and easy walk back to the Hilton. It looks a little
sketchy but should be okay during the day.

Just FYI for the budget-crunched staying late.

Cheers,
Laura Bathurst

Hello - I'm wondering if anyone on the list can tell me where I might be able to
get the most recent copy of SACC Notes.  I recently officially joined SACC when
I renewed my AAA membership a few months ago - does this make me eligible now to
see more than the table of contents on the website?  :-)

Also, is there any "official" info. out yet about the 09 SACC conference?  I'm
wondering about a call for papers and other info. as I'm going to be submitting
a request for funding soon.

thanks!

I can make it — my flight does not leave SFO until 10pm.  However, I
will be in a concurrent sessions that morning (Shifting Identities in
the Americas), so will have to touch base with you beforehand to arrange
a time and place to meet up with you.

presentation if you want to include part of that in the column. I am
puzzling over the timing of the Symposium on Sunday and wonder if a

Five Fields in Anthropology, SACC Invited Panel/Symposium, American
Anthropological Association, November, 2008, Chair, Rob Edwards,
Cabrillo College, California

This is an invited panel/session of the Society for Anthropology in
Community Colleges which has become a valued tradition at the Annual
Meetings of the American Anthropology Association. Panelists are
recruited from the five fields of anthropology: Applied, Archaeology,
Cultural, Linguistics and Physical. Each panelist has chosen some
aspect
of their field to synthesize or summarize so that those who are
interested in lower division courses in those fields can be refreshed
and updated on some aspect of the field. Each panelist has about
fifteen
minutes for their presentation. Their written papers will be published

in a future issue of ‘Teaching Anthropology”, a newsletter of SACC.
(/At
least one presenter will need a LCD projector/.)

*_Linguistics:_  Dr. Leanne Hinton, (UC, Berkeley)*

*“The study of endangered languages:  From documentary linguistics
to*

*applied linguistics”.*

  In linguistics, the pendulum is swinging from a very formalistic view
of linguistic theory focused on English and other world languages back
to its focus a century ago on the documentation of endangered languages.
  But there is an important new twist.  A century ago the primary
interest was to answer questions of linguistic science, such as the
study of language relationships and language families, or linguistic
typology and the study of grammatical systems.  While such interests are
still strong, there is a major new focus on relating the study of
languages to the interests of the speech communities being studied.
Thus for endangered languages, linguists in the field are forging new
kinds of partnerships with members of the community, training interested
community members in linguistics, bringing computer technology to
communities, assisting in the development of practical writing systems,
creating user-friendly language materials

for community reference, and finding themselves involved in a myriad of
projects concerning second-language teaching programs, including
community classes, school curriculum development, and other aspects of
language revitalization movements.  Linguists studying endangered
languages generally come out of departments centered around theoretical
linguistics and rarely have any training in such fields as education or
second language teaching, and so they are often flying blind in their
efforts to provide useful service to the community.  And yet the kinds
of unique skills necessary to serve the specific array of needs
presented by

communities seeking to maintain or revitalize their endangered
languages are not easily obtained in current programs of education and
foreign language teaching.  Thus we are seeing the birth of a new kind
of applied

linguistics, that is being developed now in the field, and will be
making its way more and more into the university setting as young
linguists self-trained in the new applied linguistics train their own
students, many

of whom will be the community members themselves.



_Physical:_* Dr. Dennis Etler, Cabrillo College, “The State of Human

Evolutionary Studies in East and Southeast Asia”*

The debate surrounding modern human origins and dispersal has largely
been settled. There is overwhelming genetic evidence attesting to the
African origins of modern /Homo sapiens /and its dispersal out of
Africa
commencing around 60-75,000 years ago. The genetic evidence indicates
that early modern humans spread along the Indian Ocean littoral
entering
Australasia between 35-50,000 ya and East Asia perhaps as recently as
40-45,000 ya. These dates are supported by archaeological and human
remains in Australia (Malakunanja II, Lake Mungo) and human fossils
from
China (Tianyuan, Hebei). There are, however, a number of outstanding
questions that still need to be addressed regarding the course of human

evolution in both Australasia and China. These include, 1) the status
of
recently described fossil and subfossil short statured human remains
from the Indonesian island of Flores and the Micronesian archipelago of

Palau, 2) The possible presence of early modern humans in China in
excess of 100,000 ya and, 3) the role that archaic humans played in the

emergence of modern human diversity in both East Asia and Australasia.

*_ Cultural:_ Dr. Carolyn Martin Shaw, (UC Santa Cruz), The Nature of
Gender: Bodies, Culture and the Performance in the construction of
gender.*

Social constructionist theories of gender, which hold that gender is
not
an essence preceding social expression but an identity that is
constructed and fluid, have been dominant in anthropology for the past

several decades. Strong statements of the social construction of gender

have of late been rocked by transgender/transsexual studies that try to

encompass understanding of individuals who deeply believe that their
gender is inherent and unchanging, while their bodies are mutable or,
at
least, can be changed to fit the essence of their perceived gender.
Ordinary people, non-specialists, including our students in American
class rooms, also place importance on the materiality of the body as
they try to grasp the effect of, among other things, “hormones” and

“PMS.” Another attack on social construction from the biological
front
comes from genetics, which has given us the “female brain” and the
“gay
gene.” Cultural anthropology’s main line of defense is the
diversity of
cultures around the world. We can reasonably assert that the meanings
given to bodies and physical functions vary such that genetic
determination is not warranted. And we can argue that science is a part

of the folk belief system of people in the West. Gender is still a
social construction through which individuals perform cultural ideas
about the representation of men and women. Yet a number of
anthropologists, in recognition of the materiality of the body and its

functions, have moved toward a middle position that some call
“strategic
constructionism.”

Archaeology: Dr Kent G. Lightfoot, (UC Berkeley ), "The Archaeology of

Colonialism: New Insights from the Pacific Coast of North America"

This paper discusses some of the theoretical and methodological issues

involved in archaeological investigations of colonialism along the
Pacific Coast of North America. Archaeologists today undertake
multi-scalar studies of colonialism that are broadly comparative,
multi-sited, and collaborative. Drawing upon more than a decade of
archaeological investigations, the talk highlights some of the lessons

learned from the study of Russian colonialism in Alaska, Hawaii, and
California in the late 18^th and early 19^th centuries. Focusing on the

Russian colony of Fort Ross in northern California, details will be
presented about how this mercantile enterprise operated, how the colony

was organized, and how the colonists and local Indians interacted with

each other. The findings from the Russian colony are then compared to
recent archaeological investigations of Spanish missions and presidios.

Examples drawn from the work will be used to speak about comparative
research, flexible research designs as part of collaborative programs,

the development of low-intrusive field methods, and the use of multiple

lines of evidence.

Applied: Dr. J. A. English-Lueck, (San Jose State University), “Right

from the Start, Applying Anthropology with Lower Division Students”.

Applied anthropology is increasingly represented in college and
university programs, as graduate degree programs, concentrations in
undergraduate majors, and individual survey courses. Since 1985, the
majority of post-doctoral jobs are outside of academia, yet our
undergraduate, especially lower division, curriculum has been slow to
reflect that reality. The theme of this conference is “inclusion,
collaboration and engagement,” which indicates that the American
Anthropological Association recognizes a shift in emphasis in our
discipline. In my discussion I will discuss the range of applications
traditionally considered—work in development, policy and government,
and
the critiques that have emerged. I will outline emerging employment
sectors in nongovernmental organizations, design anthropology and other

entrepreneurial niches. Examples drawn from the discipline at large,
and
San Jose State University’s Applied Anthropology Master’s program
will
illustrate such applications. Translating these opportunities into
curriculum is the challenge. A mandate of the Society for Applied
Anthropology, which states that “We shall provide training which is
informed, accurate, and relevant to the needs of the larger society,”

can be read to provide hands-on undergraduate experiences. Community
research and service-learning can be incorporated into existing and new

curriculum. Doing so provides opportunities to discuss ethical and
pragmatic issues of application with both colleagues and students.

Mary and all those that responded positively on this issue earlier: please
suggest what format you think would fit best for discussion of a community
college or even SACC consortium that would offer shared student travel
curricular opportunities. A RoundTable, a Panel of people like Barry, Chuck,
Lloyd and others who have done a lot of this, especially in recent years.

I met with EF Tours representative who wishes to help us form a consortium of
community colleges for courses or 'short' courses (intense-part of term)  that
include a variety of 8 to 21 day international or even national field experience
as part of the curriculum. Her company has a variety of subsidiary student
travel programs including the Smithsonian, she tells me. My college
administration is interested in this as am I, especially if we can include
colleges in low-income areas like mine.  Until now, very few administrations
have even contemplated given this kind of educational opportunity and equity to
our urban community college students.

The first thing I think of is sharing of credits without students having
to pay out-of-state tuition to the "hosting" school.

Hi All,



I would be interested to hear how folks have handled the cost of student
travel, particularly their own cost for participation.  Do faculty pay
their own way?  Is the cost covered by fees paid by the student?  Can
you accept a "free trip" from the tour company (Such as what EF Tours
does)?



I have co-led one trip to Italy/France and led a trip to Ireland (both
through EF Tours).  There had been no question of my receiving a free
trip as compensation for my work, until I suggested that students should
receive academic credit for the experience.  Part of this debate began
when I attempted to organize my own trip via Aer Lingus and included a
small administrative fee for the participants that would have covered my
flight and hotel (I was not accepting compensation via student tuition
for my teaching duties).  I had to cancel the trip.



A colleague of mine at a four year institution took honors students to
Switzerland this past summer.  He had to pay on ground expenses (for
everyone!)with his credit card and then submit a request for
re-imbursement.

Good morning!



There are a couple of faculty at our college who frequently offer an EF
Tour.  When my students and I have participated, I have encouraged them
to enroll in Independent study (1, 2, or 3 units in ANTH) and we have
devised a plan for them.  For a single unit, I ask for a journal.  When
we went to the Yucatan, the student who wanted more units, prepared a
wonderful comparison of her trip with that of Stephens and Catherwood.
The beauty of this is that the trip can take place during vacation, and
the students can work with you during the following semester.  They
could also work with you in the previous semester to do serious
background research for the trip.  AND they can do this even if you are
not leading the trip.



That's just one idea.



~Pam

I think we should have a Panel Discussion - could we build that into our
conference?  This is a great topic - figuring out how to promote student
travel & international and/or field experience as a part of their
undergraduate education.  It certainly makes sense to me.



What about a lunch-time panel?
