Sum m ary This ethnographic study of a former mining community in the upper Dulais valley explores how major structural changes, in terms of employment opportunities and socio-economic conditions, have impacted on the everyday lives of the villagers, with particular reference to gender relationships and identities. Evidence of the structural changes is presented, and relevant feminist literature which attempts to explain gender divisions is discussed to contextualise the data, which was gathered during twelve months' fieldwork carried out between 1994 and 1995, ten years after the major miners' strike and five years after the last pit in the valley closed. Methodological, epistemological and ethical questions are raised concerning the values of doing anthropology at home, and an argument is made for the need to acknowledge the reflexive and analytical capabilities of the subjects of research, and the contribution which they make to the final academic project, in this case the ethnography. Utilising the notion of habitus, it is suggested that the practices of everyday life were operating to maintain the identity of the village as a mining community, and that this was facilitated by the retention of traditional gender segregation and identities, albeit that these identities were expressed in a modified form after pit closure. Acknowledgements I would like to thank my long-suffiring supervisor, Dr Nickie Charles, for her excellent supervision and encouragement throughout the research process. I would also like to thank the other nembers of staff and postgraduate students at the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Wales, Swansea who have provided intellectual and moral support. Thanks also to my family, which has always providec emotional and material sustenance beyond the call of duty. I will never be able to thank Tim Davies enough, as he has always been there for me and beenprepared to share the good times and the bad. The research could not have been (arried out at all without the bursary provided by the University of Wales, Swansea, for which I am very grateful, and of course the co-operation of the people of the community in which the research was conducted. This thesis is dedicated to them, with special thanks to Carol and George.

With this advice in mind, I decided to do research in Wales, my home country, as I knew that I wanted to do "anthropology at home", and as a feminist, I knew that I had to make gender my main focus of study. When I read about a university being set up in a former mining community in south Wales inThe Guardian of 1 December 1992, the article by Francis Beckett attracted my attention as the village featured, Blaengwyn, in the Dulais valley, seemed to be an ideal location for my research. The article outlined the development of the Community University of the Valleys, an initiative of the Department of Adult Continuing Education at Swansea University. It was suggested that new educational opportunities were being made available to a community devastated by unemployment following pit closure, and that women who had supported miners during the strike were facilitating these opportunities through the DOVE workshops which had been set up to provide vocational training courses for local women. Beckett cited the 1991 Labour Force Survey predictions that by the year 2000, 24% of men in Wales aged 15 to 65 "will either be retired or have simply given up hope of ever working again" (Beckett, 1992). My attention was engaged by the possibilities for research in the village. I was interested in how the DOVE workshops had been set up, what impact the Community University might have in the area, and what effect the 1984-5 1 miners' strike had had on the village. All three events could be argued to be about changing gender relations in the wake of the decline of the mining industry. I hoped to be able to explore how major structural changes are translated into everyday life by carrying out research in an area previously associated with heavy industry. Clearly changes were going on, as demonstrated by the establishment of the DOVE workshops and the Community University, but I was interested to see whether these impacted on the everyday lives of people in the village, and if so, to what extent. Becketf s article implied major changes in the village in the wake of the 1984-5 strike and local pit closure, and I wanted to explore whether things had changed as much as people claimed. Beckett noted that during the strike, many women became politically active outside the home, organising food distribution, attending and speaking at rallies, and picketing. Men on strike often stayed at home to look after their children while their wives were involved in such activities. Jean Stead (1987) claims that this role-reversal in mining communities is irrevocable, and that gender relations will never return to the traditional sharply segregated roles apparent before the strike. Waddington et al (1990) however, maintain that enthusiasm for political change, especially in terms of gender relations, endured within these groups only as long as the strike and that they are now back to pre-strike conditions. However, the women's group established in the Dulais valley during the strikeis still active in running the DOVE Centre. The strike therefore seemed to give a taste of what life would be like in the village after what it was trying to prevent, pit closure, happened. I wanted to see how the closure of the main local industry, the industry which defined what the community was, a "mining community", would affect day to day activity in that community. I was particularly interested in gender relations and gender 2 identities, and how these might have changed since pit closure. I thought that these identities might be tied up with local identity too, and since the village was known as a mining community, and therefore had a certain masculine identity through its association with men's work, I thought it would be interesting to explore how the demise of the dominant male industry locally affected gender and community identities.

Pickering 2012 Abstract The precontact subsistence-settlement strategy of Taltheilei tradition groups has been interpreted by past researchers as representing a high residential mobility forager system characterized by ephemeral warm season use of the Barrenlands environment, while hunting barrenground caribou. However, the excavation of four semi-subterranean house pits at the Ikirahak site (JjKs-7), in the Southern Kivalliq District of Nunavut, has challenged these assumptions. An analysis of the domestic architecture, as well as the morphological and spatial attributes of the excavated lithic artifacts, has shown that some Taltheilei groups inhabited the Barrenlands environment during the cold season for extended periods of time likely subsisting on stored resources.

The case would be of interest to those using any of the modules. I Facilitator's notes 1. 1 The university as an institution Universities are traditional institutions guided by procedures which are administered by statutory committees established by law. Those who work in them, both men and women, have in the past, consciously and unconsciously, subscribed to the university culture and have been proud of university traditions, regarding themselves as members of a special community. Te aching and research, the basic and complementary functions of universities, dominate the texts outlining the responsibilities of academics. There appears to be a tacit acceptance that those who embark on careers in universities understand what research entails and how it is to be performed, and that one's record of research and publications serves as a basis for promotion to higher levels. While university management is often considered to include delivery of central services in supportof academic programmes, it actually encompasses the administration of academic departments and faculties. In this presentation, therefore, it is assumed that senior and middle-level university managers include Heads of Department, Deans of Faculties, Registrars and Bursars, Deputy Vice-Chancellors and Vice-Chancellors.

Briggs Department of Anthropology Memorial University of Newfoundland St. John’s NL A1B 3X9 Historical developments in Utkuhiksalik phonology; 5/16/04 page 1 of 36 1 Introduction* Utkuhiksalik has been analysed as a subdialect of Natsilik within the Western Canadian Inuktun (WCI) dialect continuum (Dorais, 1990:17; 41). 1 While Utkuhiksalik has much in com- mon with the other Natsilik subdialects, the Utkuhiksalingmiut and the Natsilingmiut were his- torically distinct groups (see §1.1). Today there are still lexical (see §1.2) and phonological dif- ferences between Utkuhiksalik and Natsilik. The goal of this paper is to highlight the main phonological differences by describing the Utkuhiksalik reflexes of Proto-Eskimoan (PE) *c, *y, and *D. 1.1 Overview of dialect relations2 The traditional territory of the Utkuhiksalingmiut (the people of the place where there is soapstone) lay between Chantrey Inlet and Franklin Lake. Utkuhiksalik speakers also lived in the * Research for this paper was supported by SSHRC grant #410-2000-0415, awarded to Jean Briggs. The authors would also like to acknowledge the invaluable assistance of the Utkuhiksalingmiut who presently live in Gjoa Haven, especially Briggs’s adoptive mother and aunts. Tape recordings of these consultants, collected by Briggs from the 1960’s to the present, constitute the data for this paper. Briggs is currently compiling a dictionary of Utkuhiksalik. 1 We use the term Natsilik, rather than Netsilik, to denote a dialect cluster that includes Natsilik, Utkuhik- salik, and Arviligjuaq.
