Dear Dean Andrew Dean,
The Department of Anthropology would like to nominate Dr Clara Sachetti- Dufresne as an Adjunct of the Department of Anthropology at Lakehead University. She has been a sessional lecturer for the department for many years and is still currently teaching courses for anthropology. She is a socio-cultural anthropologist with very strong theoretical understanding of her discipline. She has supervised honours students in the past and has always been the strongest supporter for the department. The department has voted to support this nomination and feel that her current and future involvement and contributions in the department would be beneficial to the various anthropology programs at Lakehead University.
Sincerely,
Carney Matheson Department of Anthropology Lakehead University
To: Dr. Carney Matheson, Chair, Anthropology Department Lakehead University 955 Oliver Road Thunder Bay, ON P7B 5E1
Re: Adjunct Status in your Department
Dear Dr. Matheson:
I enclose, along with this cover letter, a current CV; contact information for five referees; a few student letters of recommendation; and a sample of my teaching evaluations (separate file) for your consideration for my application for Adjunct Status in your Department. Samples of my publications are available upon request.
I am currently a Sessional Instructor for the Departments of Anthropology, Philosophy, and Women’s Studies (LU); the Treasurer and Executive Committee member of ICAP (see icap.ca); an Adjunct Professor of Philosophy (LU), and; a Research Fellow, a founding member, and the Treasurer-Secretary for Lakehead University’s aig+c. I hold Bachelor of Arts degrees in Economics (1989 Western) and Anthropology (1993 York), a Master of Arts in Symbolic Anthropology (1995 Western), and a doctorate in Social Anthropology (2007 York). I was, in addition, a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Frank Iacobucci Centre at University of Toronto in 2011-2012.
I have been unusually active since graduating with my PhD in Social Anthropology at York University, Toronto in 2007. Although my doctoral studies were in Anthropology, I am an exceptionally strong interdisciplinary research, teacher, and community activist. I co-edited, for example, two books of relevance to contemporary, interdisciplinary social and cultural theory, Superior Art: Local Art, Global Context (Definitely Superior Art Gallery and Agency Books, 2012) and The Economy as Cultural System (Bloomsbury, London, UK); spent one year as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto working on a book manuscript; was a successful co-applicant of a major SSHRC grant; was a founding member of a research institute, The Advanced Institute for Globalization and Culture (aig+c); published three chapters in edited collections; published over ten articles in reputable journals, such as Diskurs and Italian Canadiana; organized four national workshops centred on the goal of establishing an archive of Italian immigrant stories across Canada; and am a very active Executive Committee member and the Treasurer of ICAP, an international and national network of academics and non-academic individuals, federal and provincial institutions (e.g., Pier 21, The Museum of Civilization -- now the Canadian Museum of History, the Ontario Historical Society, The Elia Chair, etc) and community groups tasked with archiving the Italian immigrant experience across the country. In addition, I have another co-edited collection under contract with Wilfrid University Press and have completed a book manuscript on the discursive construction of gender and Italian-Canadian-ness in Thunder Bay, which I intend to send out for publication consideration in 2014. In summary, I have published over 300 manuscript pages in scholarly journals; 200 manuscript pages in chapters; 25 manuscript pages in book reviews; and 100 manuscript pages in conference proceedings. These manuscript pages, moreover, do not include diagrams, charts, or tables, as my work is primarily based on narrative and thick description. I have, in addition, published over 150 pages in reports and documents; over 125 pages in conference papers (not posters); and presented over 120 pages for invited lectures. I have edited and/or reviewed over 1000 pages with an additional 1000 pages currently in process for my co-edited book with Wilfrid Laurier University press. I note as well that these page counts refer only to original content and do not include any re-printed materials, second editions, or the re-use of any parts or sections of previously published materials. This constitutes an above average publication record for a sessional instructor who has not had the institutional supports, privileges, and advantages provided by a full time tenure-track or tenured position. I must also point out that I have not paid any monies for my publications, as all costs, i.e. reviewing, editing, printing, design work, and marketing expenses, have been borne by the publishers.
The dominant themes of my work focus on multiculturalism, ethnicity, and gender identity, and extends to include issues of globalization, cultural studies, cultural sociology, and feminist post-structuralism. At bottom, I consider myself a feminist anthropological social and cultural theorist willing to cross disciplines, both intellectually (by training) and professionally (as a teacher), and long committed to publishing academic work, reviews and editorials in popular venues, and community-based reports. My commitments are captured by a decades-long history of publishing (work that began when I was still a Master’s student) in such diverse venues as BORDERLINES, Fuse Magazine, The Boston Book Review, Topia, and The Semiotic Review of Books.
As for my teaching experience, it is deep and highly varied. I have taught undergraduates in numerous disciplines for over a decade, including Anthropology, Women’s Studies and History, Philosophy, and Political Science. I have also taught Aboriginal students, sometimes from highly challenging backgrounds, in the Aboriginal Law and Advocacy Program at Negahneewin College of Academic and Community Development, Confederation College (Thunder Bay). I can assure you that I like students, and consider teaching to be important to my professional life; it really is, in Weber’s sense, one of my ‘callings’. And so, I can report that I enjoy uniformly high student evaluations while maintaining academic standards. A sampling of courses I have taught (and almost always designed) include Social Organization (Anthropology), Socio-Cultural Anthropology (Anthropology), Culture and Place (Anthropology), Gender in Cross-Cultural Perspective (Women’s Studies & Anthropology), Development of Feminist Thought (Women’s Studies), Special Topic on Foucault (Political Science), Aboriginal Law and Advocacy (at Confederation College), Gender and Philosophy (Philosophy), Feminist Philosophy (Philosophy), and many more. The rotation of courses can be exhausting, but it is rewarding work: I have had numerous excellent students who have gone on to graduate work in Canada and abroad, sometimes with full funding.
Furthermore, I have valuable experience in writing, and assisting in the writing of, grants and grant reports, e.g., SSHRC doctoral, OGS, SSHRC Postdoctoral, SSHRC RDI, SSHRC ASU, SSHRC Standard Grants, Trillium Foundation, Writers’ Reserves Grants, and community cultural funding grants. I have also reviewed municipal cultural-community and Writers’ Reserves grant applications as a past member of the City of Thunder Bay Grant Review Team and FUSE’s Editorial Collective, respectively. In my work with Lakehead University’s aig+c I was involved with organizing, assisting with the creation of, and/or spearheading several group grants, including an ASU grant on globalization and culture, an ASU grant on music in the creative economy, and a RDI group grant on photovoice. More recently, I participated in shaping an EU scholarly grant entitled “Digitelling” (as part of my involvement with ICAP). I am also currently writing and coordinating a team IDG SSHRC grant on the notion of the Italian immigrant experience in western Canada. In regards to my applied anthropological work, I have been involved in a large community based project, i.e., the Italian-Canadian Archives Project, and have been involved in an EU cultural (non-academic, community-based) grant on the migrations of Italians in Canada (“PERFORMIGRATIONS”); I am also spearheading a local Trillium grant, entitled “Glogstering Nonna’s Story,” as part and parcel of my applied anthropological/community work with ICAP.
I have substantial experience working in university, community, and corporate settings which points to my organizational and leadership skills. But it also points to my abilities to work collaboratively as part of a team with many different stakeholders. For example, in my past career as a public accountant and internal auditor, I worked as an intermediate, senior, and internal auditor, supervised junior staff, and helped clients to improve organizational efficiency and effectiveness. I have participated in the planning and execution of team audits for municipal governments, charities, cultural organizations, hospitals, and various corporations. I have also planned and carried out internal team audits for the Ministry of Treasury and Economics and the Ministry of Energy (Government of Ontario). Moreover, I have used this learning in my volunteer work with the Advisory Council for the Aboriginal Law and Advocacy Program at Confederation College; the Lakehead University Anthropology Undergraduate Research Ethics Committee; Lakehead University’s aig+c; and the City of Thunder Bay. Most recently, my work with the ICAP, a national network of scholars and individuals interested in establishing an archive about the Italian-Canadian experience, has involved working collaboratively with public historians, curators, cultural groups, academics from various national and international universities, diplomats, and consular- generals to form partnerships for the benefit of establishing and maintaining a country-wide archive network. These experiences highlight my excellent interpersonal skills, my ability to work in partnerships with a variety of groups and organizations, and my ability to network with various types of local, national, and international institutions. The latter are required for developing group grant applications and honing the research skills of future interdisciplinary researchers in both the public sphere and university settings.
I am very keen about being an Adjunct Professor at Lakehead University in the Department of Anthropology. I understand the challenges of teaching students from sometimes radically different backgrounds and standpoints; have years of experience developing and implementing new courses; have enjoyed many successes as a teacher and mentor to students; have given my time and energy to local and national institutional projects (i.e., applied anthropology projects); and am deeply engaged with the life of research, as is evident by my recent publication output. If you need any further supporting materials, I will expedite them as quickly as possible.
Sincerely,
Clara Sacchetti-Dufresne

CRITICAL REVIEWS/DISCUSSIONS OF AUTHOR’S WORK (OFTEN ABRIDGED):
2012 Backcover Recommendation for The Economy as Cultural System by Jodi Dean (Hobart and William Smith):
“No longer will the humanities be able to hide itself or others from the confrontation with capitalism facing us all. This provocative collection of critical, and more importantly, self-critical essays doubles down when faced with the retort that cultural studies has lost its relevance: far from irrelevant it is a crucial site for contesting capitalism today.”
2012 Backcover Recommendation for The Economy as Cultural System by Imre Szeman (Alberta):
“A fascinating and theoretically astute collection that ably carries out the task promise by the title. A superb group of established and emerging scholars… Essential reading.”
2012 Brief discussion of Superior Art by Mariana Maguire for Bayview Magazine (Autumn), 42-45:
This is the first book of its kind on contemporary art in Northwestern Ontario.
2012 Backcover Recommendation for Superior Art by Maria Whiteman (Alberta):
“Superior Art asks the question: “Is local art defined by its place of viewing, subject matter, or compositional interpretation?” In so doing it raises important points about the relation of space/place to art practice and exhibition that are not currently being asked, but need to be. The perspective of academics making connections to the community and to artists who are part of the community – and who expend effort identifying what place, location, geography, and space can mean to artists – is interesting, productive, and original. This is a book that many in and out of the art world will find useful.”
2012 Backcover Recommendation for Superior Art by Michael Grillo (Maine):
“Superior Art addresses one of the most pressing questions in our Post-Modern era: How concepts of local culture might play out in myriad, nuanced ways in a hyper-connected, globalised world that too readily treats identities of place, language, and tradition simplistically. In its breadth of vision, Superior Art balances how artists and their audiences experience the environments they inhabit with their interpretive perceptions shaped by a mix of both local culture and more global, colonising sources. The editors look to the specific artistic production of Thunder Bay as a model resonant for us all, regardless of where we might live, as we negotiate daily among our individual, community, and global selves. This book will open your eyes to your cultural and natural environments.”

Re: Letter of recommendation for Clara Sacchetti-Dufresne
To Whom It May Concern:
I have attended several of the classes taught by Clara Sacchetti-Dufresne last year (2007- 2008) as an exchange student from France at Lakehead University.
These classes included Medical Anthropology, Social Organization and Advanced Cultural Anthropology. In each of these classes, Clara provided an array of important knowledge, literature and references that she passed on to the class with passion.
Clara is a great teacher and she always makes time to promptly answer her students’ questions, either personally or through emails. Also, she is always open for dialogues and exchanges of opinions with her students and always ready to hear their point of view with respect.
She helped me a lot with my thesis last year and even though she is not my teacher anymore, we kept in touch and she still provides me with a lot of information to write my current thesis.
Sincerely,
Johanna Hilger. Student Letter of Recommendation #2

Re: Letter of Recommendation for Clara Sacchetti-Dufresne
To Whom it May Concern:
This is a letter of recommendation for Clara Sacchetti-Dufresne. I have had the pleasure of being a student in two of Professor Sacchetti-Dufresne’s classes.
Clara is a well-prepared and dedicated instructor who wants the best success for her students. Furthermore, she is comfortable teaching both in a tutorial and in a large lecture/classroom setting. I have found her courses to be interesting, detailed, and relevant. For example, Social Organization offered informed, critical theory on a number of Canadian issues relevant to students of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Also, Clara involved the whole class in discussions through encouraging independent thinking. She obviously enjoys being in the classroom, and she is approachable, friendly, and fair.
Clara is a very knowledgeable professor who is passionate about teaching and learning which is evident in her teaching style. I have thoroughly enjoyed both Professor Sacchetti-Dufresne’s classes and recommend her with no hesitation for the position.
If you wish to discuss this further, please contact me on 807-476-0907.

Student Letter of Recommendation #3
Dear Hiring Committee
I am writing to recommend Professor Clara Sacchetti-Dufresne for your program. I have known Professor Sacchetti-Dufresne for the past three years because I had the privilege of having her as my Anthropology professor. I had the opportunity of meeting Professor Sacchetti-Dufresne when I took her Gender Cross-Cultural Perspective class in my third year at Lakehead University. I was very impressed with her teaching style and approach to the subject that I decided to sign up for her Social Organization class in my fourth year.
I find Professor Sacchetti-Dufresne’s method of teaching very interesting. Her teaching style is fantastic. She presented new topics to students in different ways that motivated us to achieve our best. I found myself learning more than I expected in her classes. Her classroom setting was ideal for learning because it was an easy going and relaxed atmosphere.
It was clear to me that Professor Sacchetti-Dufresne is a very sincere person who loves and enjoys what she does. Her classes were always interesting because she connects the topics to the real world and situations that students can understand and relate to. She allows students to use their imagination and fully express their opinions and suggestions in class. She always listens whenever a student’s idea is been shared and she challenges students to think critically about all situations.
Professor Sacchetti-Dufresne is a fun, informative, approachable, smart, and an intellectual professor who is passionate about her job and the information she passes onto students. Her classes were one of my favourites to attend and ones that I always looked forward to. She is a person that believes in her students and recognises their potential and interests. She is very helpful, encouraging, and easy to get along with.
In summary, Professor Clara is a passionate and a lovely person. I will definitely recommend her to your program.
Yours Sincerely,
Tracy Alli

Miranda Niittynen 198 N. Windemere Ave. Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada Tel. (807) 767-9489 May 8th, 2009
To whom it may concern: I am writing this letter to give my strong recommendation to Dr. Clara Sacchetti- Dufresne. I am currently finishing my Honours BA in History/Philosophy at Lakehead University and I have had the pleasure of attending Clara’s classes since the fall semester of 2006. Clara is an excellent professor and she is very passionate about her work. She is organized and dedicated to her job. Her lectures are well thought out and she always presents herself in a professional manner. She provides her students with a variety of subject matter and an open space for discussion and debate. Clara is a very well-liked professor at Lakehead University and throughout my university experience I have never met a more approachable professor. She is a strong intellectual person and I admire her greatly. Through all her hard work and her busy schedule, she has still found time to meet with students. Most recently, she met with my group and I on a weekend because our schedules did not coincide. Clara is interested in the success of her students, but she still offers the challenges that most students are looking for. She gives her students the opportunity to practice presenting material and allows them to present in ways that are most comfortable to them. I have found this practice particularly beneficial as a precursor for future seminars. She provides an enjoyable classroom experience and I always look forward to her classes. On a personal level, Clara has highly encouraged me to apply to graduate school and she has opened her doors to me for extra guidance and help. She has been an excellent instructor, friend and mentor and I am confident that she will get the same feedback wherever she goes.
Yours Truly, Miranda Niittynen
