A lot of traffic here on feces! Well, research that I did for a book
chapter tells me this:

1.  The average adult rectum CAN hold about 500cc of waste.
2. The average density of human feces is just about 1g/cc (average is
about 0.96 --- 20 healthy volunteers, male and female, collecting
24-hour stool samples over a 5-week period ... now THAT is dedication);
with an average of about 134cc per movement (131 for females; 138 for
males ... go ahead and make the obvious joke).
(Source:  J.B.WYMAN, K.W.HEATON, A.P.MANNING,AND A.C.B.WICKS. 1978.
Variability of colonic function in healthy subjects Gut 1978 19:146-150.)

BTW, apparently toilet manufacturers use the standard of 250g of solid
material per flush, but the EPA apparently has upped the ante to 350g
(http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-04/27/maximum-performance-soya-poop).

So, I dunno where the rumor started that we drop several pounds of this
stuff a day, but at 134g per dump, we are looking at about 0.3 pounds
per day in this study (where most people reported only 1 BM daily ...
though there were some with up to 2, the maximum was about 2/3 pounds);
there is, of course a fair amount of variability (what amazed the
researchers in this study the most was how consistent the composition of
the stool was regardless of the size, frequency, transit time, and so on.

And just when you thought THAT was the worst job in the world, try this
one:
Larauche M, Kiank C, Tache Y. 2009. Corticotropin releasing factor
signaling in colon and ileum: regulation by stress and
pathophysiological implications. /Journal of Physiology and
Pharmacology/ 60:33--46.
Hidden in the scientific jargon in the title is the real poop on the
study: trying to scare the crap out of rats ... literally. Stress
hormones trigger cells in the large intestine to release feces.

In Minnesota CC’s, General Sociology is a required course for Nursing,
Criminal Justice, and some other major programs. I am not aware of any program
that gives similar credit for taking Cultural Anthropology (our many campuses
rarely if ever taught a single 4-field course). The State does seem to require
that students wishing to get licensed to teach K-12 needed a Cultural Anthro
course (at least that’s why my online CA courses were filled with off-campus
students), but that is not much compared to the traffic heading over to General
Sociology due to graduation requirements.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I know that in California community colleges,

emonstrate through say their own research that they have done enough to be

as a PhD in anthropology teachers in the intercultural studies department at a

ualifying exams and PhD research which was on race and ethnicity relations. I
onder if something like course equivalencies are available in North Carolina.
It's a shame that anthropology does not attract more students, at least in the
egion of North Carolina where I'm at (Raleigh-Durham). Anthropology programs in

Andrew,



Wow, that is impressive research on feces.



The rumor of several pounds per day per person started with my most recent
column for 'Anthropology News'. The source is a document a university professor
wrote for his students on the nature of faeces.
http://www.soe.uoguelph.ca/webfiles/wjames/homepage/teaching/wjfecalmatters.html
I don't know, but presume, it was for a course in biochemistry or something like
that.



Other estimates I found in other sources are much closer to what you found as
well, such as "about 100 grams" and "about half of pounds".



As I mentioned in my column, I think we are in a new era where it is okay to
discuss feces. The taboo may not be broken, but it is bending.



And talking about them really is important. It is a step towards helping solving
the global sanitation crisis. Almost 3 billion people in the world do not have
access to acceptable sanitation facilities; which of course leads to the spread
of disease. I recall reading somewhere a week or so ago that the UN is now
considering access to proper sanition of more significance than climate change.



Bob

Well, Luckenbach obviously never measured the stuff directly; just took
an estimate from someone else.

This same thing happened in our A&P text, where the author wrote that
the skin is 15% of body weight. Students thought that was amazing; how
did he get that? So, I did a quick calculation ... use a nomogram that
estimates surface area from height and weight; apply an average of 2mm
thickness, so we can measure the volume; then the density of skin on
average is 1.07g/cc and so we get ... 5.1%!!!

So, back and forth, and finally an email to the author who admits to
reading it somewhere and thinking it would make a nice lead-in to the
chapter. At least agreed to research it and change it for the next edition.

Talk about a teachable moment.

Our college will no longer hire anyone who does not have the official 18
graduate credit hours in the additional field.  The only time it is permitted if
it is for an adjunct “emergency” hire.  We lost some good adjuncts in
several different fields because of this ruling.

You are right that there is not a lot of anthropology taught at the community
colleges in NC.  I took my first anthro classes at Alamance Community College
from an adjunct instructor.

I think a lot of students interested in anthropology go straight to ECU, NCSU,
UNC, UNC-G, UNC-A, UNC-W, UNC-Charlotte.  The community colleges in NC and SC
have a legacy for workforce training and not so much as "feeder schools" for the
universities.  Also, the state populations are not as large nor as dense as in
some other states which impacts demand.

In addition, many of the universities want their graduates to take their
courses.  Back in the 1990's, even though I lived in Chapel Hill and had worked
at UNC-CH, I was advised by friends on faculty and staff that UNC-CH was not
really interested in non-traditional students.  To this day I am only aware of
three UNC-G Anthropology graduates who have been able to get into the graduate
program at UNC-CH.  (Two of them are SACCers and twins, Dona and Dorothy Davis! 
The third was in fieldschool in Mexico when I was in 1994.  He had lots of GIS
experience and probably didn't need any stipends from the university.  :(  )

This is probably more than you wanted to know!

Thanks to everyone who replied. I know that in California community colleges,
they have something like a course equivalency process whereby someone can
demonstrate through say their own research that they have done enough to be
credentialed to teach particular classes. For instance, a friend of my who also
has a PhD in anthropology teachers in the intercultural studies department at a
California community college and she was able to do that by showing her
qualifying exams and PhD research which was on race and ethnicity relations. I
wonder if something like course equivalencies are available in North Carolina.

It's a shame that anthropology does not attract more students, at least in the
region of North Carolina where I'm at (Raleigh-Durham). Anthropology programs in
CC's in San Francisco Bay area seem to be quite a bit bigger. I wonder if part
of this is anthropology as a discipline not advertising itself well. Perhaps old
notions of anthropology as only study the "exotic tribal" people still hold? I
mean, after all, anthropologists for the past 30 years have studied in urban
areas, deal with social problems, diversity issues, power issues, etc.! I mean,
there doesn't seem to be any discipline-related reason why sociology should be
so much bigger in CCs than anthropology.

Regarding Dianne Chidester's comment:

I think this can really go both ways. There are so many ways to teach
anthropology and the tension between the more humanistic and scientific
perspectives can be generative and fruitful.

Who in the community college leadership do I turn to to ask for how faculty
qualifications for a course are done? And how do I find out if there is wiggle
room? From reading the accrediting agency (SACS) website, having 18 graduate
hours of coursework isn't only the way to be credentialled:

from SACS FAQ page: http://www.sacscoc.org/FAQsanswers.asp#q14
> Institutions are required to document and justify that each faculty member is
qualified to teach assigned courses.  Documentation and justification may be
accomplished by using only traditional academic credentials, by using a
combination of traditional academic credentials and "other" qualifications, or
by using only "other" qualifications consistent with Comprehensive Standard
3.7.1, and reporting these on the Commission's faculty roster form.  In essence,
the institution is called upon to "make its case" for why the faculty member is
qualified to teach courses assigned.
>
> If the traditional academic credential approach is used, then following the
Faculty Credential guidelines will prove very helpful. When the qualifying
credential aligns with the courses being taught, no justification is normally
required as the credential speaks for itself, e.g. Ph.D. in English teaching
English.  However, if the Ph.D. is in Business Administration and the faculty
member is teaching Accounting, then a written justification is normally
necessary.
>

taught.

Dear Dianne,

registration and received an email receipt.

Artisanal Gold Mining in Peru

Artisanal gold mining is one of the world�s worst pollution problems.  Small
scale mining exposes miners, their families, and their domestic animals to
mercury, which is a potent neurotoxin, and other toxic materials which are
released into the environment.  The miners live in impoverished communities
and the gold is an important source of income.  The Peruvian Amazon is
known for its informal gold mining which damages the river system, but it
also occurs in backyard ore-processing factories near tourist areas like
the Nazca lines.  The ore is crushed and turned into an amalgam with
mercury, which is burned off.  The mercury vapor is breathed in by the
extractors and settles on houses and the nearby soil and water sources.

Did anybody get my question regarding to what extent anthropologists who feel
bound by the AAA Code of Ethics should exercise caution regarding contemplating
employment with the business/corporate world?

Artisanal Gold Mining in Peru

Artisanal gold mining is one of the world’s worst pollution problems.  Small
scale mining exposes miners, their families, and their domestic animals to
mercury, which is a potent neurotoxin, and other toxic materials which are
released into the environment.  The miners live in impoverished communities
and the gold is an important source of income.  The Peruvian Amazon is
known for its informal gold mining which damages the river system, but it
also occurs in backyard ore-processing factories near tourist areas like
the Nazca lines.  The ore is crushed and turned into an amalgam with
mercury, which is burned off.  The mercury vapor is breathed in by the
extractors and settles on houses and the nearby soil and water sources.

In anticipation for the next SACC elections, I would like to welcome our next
candidate for President-Elect, Amanda Wolcott Paskey! I am thrilled that Amanda
is joining the Executive Board; she will be a great asset to SACC.

Amanda is currently the Department Chair of Anthropology at CRC (Cosumnes River
College) Los Rios, in Sacramento, CA. Those who have been at the last several
SACC meetings have heard Amanda and her colleagues speak on various teaching
topics of interest, including teaching ethics in introductory anthro courses and
the use of clickers in the classroom.

Thanks to Amanda for her willingness to serve in a leadership role representing
community college anthropology. Please give her your vote of support on the next
ballot, coming soon!

Laura

Sure hope this gets wide distribution and discussion.  I have been impressed
with Sahlins' work since my undergrad days in the 1970's and am quite interested
to read about this angle on things that bring together current discussions
around Chagnon, and ongoing issues of anthropology's relations with militarism.

Hello SACCers:

We have had a little discussion about the logistics for our Invited Session, the
5-Field Panel, which our Immediate Past-President is organizing.

In addition, there are usually one or two sessions that SACC reviews, and which
focus on something to do with teaching anthropology.  Dianne Chidester has
organized sessions in the past, along with Jo Rainie Rodgers, on award-winning
teaching strategies, and on technology or on some other theme related to the AAA
theme for the year (e.g. last year's Boundaries).

Are we organizing, collectively, anything besides the 5-Field for this year?  (I
know some have volunteered to participate in the project to connect to K-12
schools in Chicago, but am unsure if that counts as a session -- I'm guessing
not).  I am putting forward the question not because I particularly want to
offer a paper, but to help make sure we have a SACC presence in Chicago.  I
would be willing to help organizationally if needed, but I had heard there may
be a session or two brewing out there, which would be great.

My apologies if I missed some of the conversation and am behind the times!
