2 Chairman’s Introduction

Seth J. Masters Chairman, Board of Trustees Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, Inc.

The Wenner-Gren Foundation Board of Trustees, officers, and staff are pleased to publish this 2010 annual report.

This report highlights the broad range and global breadth of the programs Wenner-Gren supports to promote anthropological research around the world. President Leslie Aiello has continued to both enhance Wenner-Gren’s existing activities, and launched exciting new initiatives.

Among the enhancements to the Foundation's activities in 2010, I would like to highlight the return to historic funding levels after necessary economies of the preceding year. as well as developments to the Foundation’s website to enhance engagement with the anthropological community. One of the new initiatives we are particularly excited about is the launch of the Wenner-Gren Symposium Publication Series as supplementary issues of our journal, Current Anthropology, which will make the outcomes of our biannual symposium series more widely available.

Wenner-Gren funds its operations and programs from the investment returns achieved on its endowment. Although global capital markets continue to be volatile, Wenner-Gren's management procedures and conservative financial policies have helped us navigate this difficult period better than many peers. Our Budget and Investment Committee, chaired by Bill Cobb, deserves special recognition for delivering superior long-term investment returns with relatively low risk. As a result, the Foundation remains strong, and is positioned to pursue its mission for the foreseeable future.

Finally, Wenner-Gren's ability to keep abreast of the issues facing anthropology would not be possible without the collaboration, advice, and contributions from the community we serve. I would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the past and present Wenner-Gren Advisory Committee members, as well as to the many anthropologists who have participated in the Foundation's programs and activities.

3 President’s Report

Leslie C. Aiello, President

In 2010 the Foundation enjoyed in a stronger fiscal position than in 2009, having recovered approximately two-thirds of the funds lost during the 2008/2009 recession. As the result we were able to reverse the majority of the economies introduced in 2009 and return to historic funding levels across our programs. This was particularly significant for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant program, our largest funding program, where the grant maximum had been cut by 40% and the success rate by 33%.

We were also in the position to plan for future development. We are considering an increase in the grant maximum for the Conference and Workshop program, which has been fixed at $15,000 since 1991. Inflation has eroded the real value of this grant to the extent that it is difficult today for applicants to organize and run the type of discussion meeting the Foundation prioritizes.

Significantly, plans also include a number of initiatives to increase the engagement of the Foundation with the discipline of Anthropology. For example, we will be developing instructional videos for the web site to improve grant writing skills for our applicants and restructuring the web site to highlight the potential of our extensive database for academic networking and our historical materials for teaching and educational purposes. More ambitious plans include the introduction of an Engaged Anthropology Grant to provide funds for our completed grantees to return to their field sites to engage the relevant academic community with their research and/or to share their results with their research community. The possibility of organizing grantees’ workshops is also being considered. These would provide valuable opportunities for our grantees to engage with others working on similar research topics and also help to showcase some of the most innovative research sponsored by the Foundation.

In addition to our restored funding capability and regular program activities, some of the accomplishments of 2010 include the publication of the first two open access supplementary issues of the Foundation’s journal, Current Anthropology (CA). The decision was taken in 2009 to terminate the Wenner-Gren International Symposium series published by Berg Publishers (Oxford), and from 2010 onward all outputs of Foundation-organized symposia will appear as supplementary CA issues. This has many advantages including wide circulation, electronic access and (for the participants) peer-reviewed publication in a high-

impact journal. It is expected that this change will significantly raise the profile of the symposia, which have been a center-piece of Foundation activities since the late 1950s.

In November 2010 we also launched the History module on our web site. This was the culmination of a year’s effort by Foundation staff to present the Foundation’s history in an assessable and compelling fashion. This is a work in progress and will continue to be so in the coming years, but the module now includes a narrative history of the Foundation and its people as well as histories of its varied programs, conferences, initiatives and publication series.

It also includes downloadable audio recordings of lectures given between 1940s and 1970s by some of the leaders of the field, a valuable teaching and historical resource.

We are also pleased to have awarded the fourth Institutional Development Grant to the Institute of Archaeology, University of the Philippines (Quezon City, Philippines) who have partnered with the Department of Prehistory, Museum of Natural History (Paris, France) to build and strengthen their doctoral program. In addition, a successful Wenner-Gren Symposium was held on the topic of The Biological Anthropology of Modern Human Populations: World Histories, National Styles, and International Networks (March 5-12, 2010, at the Hotel Rosa dos Ventos, Teresópolis, Brazil). These as well as other activities are profiled under the “Program Highlights” section of this annual report.

2010 was a positive year for the Foundation primarily because of the hard work of the Investment & Budget Committee in facilitating fiscal recovery. However, we are mindful that the future may be uncertain. Our procedures are under continuous review to ensure that the Foundation continues to provide maximum support for the discipline while at the same time preserving the endowment for future generations of Anthropologists. The Board of Trustees, academic Advisory Council and staff are partners in ensuring ongoing Foundation success. I am most grateful for the help of this strong and dedicated team in this endeavor.

Leslie C. Aiello President Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, Inc.

5 Program Highlights

Program highlights for 2010 include: the announcement of a new Institutional Development Grant; ten new Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships; the selection of six international scholars to train under our Wadsworth International and African Fellowship programs; the award of 194 research grants to students and established scholars under our Dissertation Fieldwork, Post-Ph.D. Research and International Col- laborative Research Grant programs; and support for 26 conferences and workshops.

Institutional Development Grants

The Foundation has had a long-standing interest in the international development of anthropology. The Institutional Development Grant program (now in its third year) is an initiative in this area. Its purpose is to support the growth and development of anthropological doctoral programs in countries where the discipline is underrepresented and where there are limited resources for academic development. The grant provides $25,000 per year and is renewable for a maximum of five years, providing a total of $125,000.

The 2010 Institutional Development Grant was awarded to the Institute of Archaeology, University of the Philippines, Quezon City, Philippines. The primary partner institute is the Department of Prehistory, Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France.

University of the Philippines Quezon City, Philippines

The potential to develop an archaeological science-based Ph.D. program is both a chal- lenge and a dream of the faculty in the Ar- chaeological Studies Program (ASP) at the University of the Philippines. It requires in- vesting in both human and physical resources, which is difficult when funding possibilities are so scarce.

The ASP faculty has developed a program that will expand their laboratories and train Ph.D. students with the necessary skills and research capabilities to make use of them. Over five years the program will secure necessary equipment and train students in collaboration with partner institutions such as the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris, France, as well as consulting with scholars from other institutions that can provide expert advice on specific techniques and laboratory research. The proposed research facilities include a Human Osteology Lab, a Palaeo-botany and Sediment Sciences Lab, a Lithics Lab, a Zooarchaeology Lab, and finally a Ceramics Lab. At the end of the five years of IDG support, it is hoped that the ASP will have five functioning laboratories, manned by capable personnel with doctorates, which will then be used to train successive generations of Ph.D. candidates working in the Southeast Asian Region.

UPDATES from Prior IDG Recipients

Institutional Development Grants provide $25,000 per year and are renewable for a maximum of five years providing a total of $125,000. The following updates summarize the accomplishments and progress of the three previous IDG recipients.

2009 IDG Recipient: Tribhuvan University Kathmandu, Nepal

The Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Tribhuvan University is col- laborating closely with Cornell University’s Department of Anthropology, with the goal of improving the theoretical and methodological training of its Ph.D. students and upgrading the academic credentials of its faculty who do not currently hold a Ph.D.

Faculty members formed a committee to design an ambitious core curriculum for the doctoral program, significantly enriching the previous tutorial -only program with three compulsory seminars: an intensive survey of anthropological theory; a research design and proposal-writing seminar; and a third course on South Asian ethnography.

In January 2010, Tribhuvan faculty met with their Cornell counterparts to review and revise the syllabi for these seminars, as well as establish the selection criteria and procedures for assigning two research grants (a five-month student research grant, and a three-month faculty research grant), two travel grants to attend international conferences, and award the first Exchange Fellowship for a Tribhuvan student to study one semester at Cornell University starting in August 2010.

The seminars took place over the 2010 Fall Semester, and were led by Dr. Gregory Maskarinec (University of Hawaii at Manoa), who received a Fulbright Visiting Scholar fellowship to teach at Tribhuvan as well as conduct research on the country’s traditional and contemporary systems for medicine. An expert in medical and cultural anthropology, Dr. Maskarinec worked closely with anthropology faculty to develop an internationally competitive program and mentored junior faculty who had begun research on the diverse medical systems that flourish throughout Nepal.

The course outline determined at the January meeting is currently in use and Ph.D. candidates have begun meeting to discuss the theoretical and methodological issues relevant to their respective projects. As the year progresses, the department plans to increase the regularity and intensity of these meetings.

2008 IDG Recipient: Anthropological Doctoral Program Museum of Anthropology National University of Cordoba (Argentina)

The Museum of Anthropology was awarded an IDG in 2008, to develop an Anthropological Doctoral Program. In 2010, museum faculty embarked on the second phase of its five-year plan, which focuses on developing course work—to be presented by both local and guest instructors—and research seminars based upon ongoing projects at the museum as well as fieldwork conducted by students.

All told, three courses in biological anthropology, three courses in archaeology, and five courses in cultural anthropology were offered, with assistance from four visiting professors. Dr. Michael Crawford (University of Kansas) taught “Anthropological Genetics.” Dr. Mercedes Saldo Puerto (Universidad de Guatemala and member of the Argentine Team for Forensic Anthropology) presented a course on “Forensic Anthropology.” Dr. Els Lagrou (Unversidad Federal do Rio de Janeiro) led a lecture on “Anthropology of Art.” And Dr. Pierre Lemonnier (Univeristé de Provence, France) taught a course on “Anthropology of Material Culture and Everyday Objects.”

Additional courses were taught by faculty of the Museum of Anthropology, as well as visiting professors from Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad Nacional de Rio Negro, and Universidad Nacional de La Plata. A total of 290 students enrolled for courses in the doctorate, achieving an 85% success rate.

2008 IDG Recipient: Dept. of Social and Cultural Anthropology School of Social Sciences University of Mongolia

The Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology sent two doctoral candidates to Cambridge University for a semester of study supervised by Professor Caroline Humphrey. Dr. D. Bumochir, a member of the University of Mongolia faculty, also went to Cambridge for a month of study, as well as to develop syllabi for the School of Social Sciences Ph.D. curriculum. Two courses—“Power and Politics of Mongolia and Inner Asia” and “Anthropology and Area Studies: Anthropology of Russia, Central Asia and China”—were developed with the advice and assistance or Dr. D. Sneath, Professor Humphrey, and Dr. E.U. Bulag. The IDG also provided funds for Dr. Bumochir to purchase the books and computers necessary to teach these courses back in Ulaanbaatar.

International Symposia and Workshops

One Wenner-Gren Symposium was held in 2010. “The Biological Anthropology of Modern Human Popu- lations: World Histories, National Styles and International Networks,” organized by Susan Lindee (U. of Pennsylvania) and Ricardo Ventura Santos (Federal U. of Rio de Janeiro and the Oswaldo Cruz Foun- dation), was held March 5-12 at the Hotel Rosa dos Ventus in Teresopolis, Brazil.

The goal for this symposium was to encourage a rich and productive dialogue across disciplines. The meeting drew together a diverse group of scholars with training in history, science studies, cultural anthropology, and biological anthropology, and with expertise in the history and current practice of physical and biological anthropology in Eu- rope, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. The organizers wanted to nurture a more sophisticated interpretation of the history and present status of the field, and to develop together critical standpoints that could become shared resources for all of the participants. The collection of papers prepared for this conference illuminate broad, important questions in biological anthropology. Themes used to organize the sessions at the symposium includ- Wenner-Gren President Leslie Aiello confers with symposium organizers Ricardo Santos and Susan Lindee. ed: “Anthropology and Transnationalism,” “Power and Hegemony in Anthropology,” “Truth and Politics,” and “New Exchanges and Possibilities in World Anthropologies.”

A full report on this symposium can be found on p. 12 of the annual report as well as on the Wenner- Gren website (www.wennergren.org/history/conferences-seminars-symposia). The proceedings of the symposium are to be published in a future supplementary issue of Current Anthropology, guest edited by the symposium organizers.

Wenner-Gren Symposium Publication Series

In 2002, the Foundation entered into an agreement with Berg Publish- ers (Oxford, UK) to publish the outputs of its International Symposia in the Wenner-Gren International Symposium Series. Faced with the changing dynamics of the publishing industry and the rise of online publications in the 21st century, the Foundation decided to begin publishing Wenner-Gren symposium publications as special issues of Current Anthropology in order to ensure their broadest possible impact.

In 2010, the eleventh and final volume of this highly productive collaboration was published:

Plagues and Epidemics: Infected Spaces Past and Present. Ann Herring and Alan Swedlund (eds). Wenner-Gren International Symposium Series: Berg Publishers. 2010: Oxford and New York.

Wenner-Gren Symposium Publication Series and Current Anthropology

The Foundation is now publishing the results of its symposia as supplementary issues of Current Anthropology, and is pleased to make them freely available to online readers as open access publications. The first two supplementary issues appeared in 2010:

“Working Memory: Beyond Language and Symbolism,” Guest editors: Fred Coolidge and Tom Wynn (University of Colorado). Current Anthropology, Volume 51, Number S1, June 2010 Supplement, pp. S1-S199.

““Engaged Anthropology: Its Diversity and Dilemmas” (Symposium title: “The Anthropologist as Social Critic: Working towards a More Engaged Anthropology.”) Guest editors: Setha Low (Graduate Center, CUNY) and Sally Eagle Merry (New York U.). Current Anthropology, Volume 51, Number S2, October 2010 Supplement, pp. S201-S330.

“Working Memory” (the first issue released in this series) was the outcome of a Wenner-Gren Symposium held at Fortaleza do Guincho, Cascais, Portugal in March 2008. Anthropologist Thomas Wynn and psychologist Frederick Coolidge organized this Wenner-Gren symposium in order to investigate the hypothesis that working memory capacity evolved over the course of human evolution, and that a final enhancement of working memory capacity occurred in the relatively recent past, enabling the rapid expansion of modern humans at the expense of more archaic forms.

The second issue, “Engaged Anthropology,” resulted from an international workshop jointly sponsored by Wenner-Gren and the American Anthropological Association, and held at the foundation’s offices in January 2008. The conference brought together academic, practicing, and advocacy anthropologists to examine the historical role of anthropology as social critic, its theoretical and methodological foundations, and its current practice through each participant’s professional experiences. Scholars were asked to consider what an engaged anthropology means, and how it can be promoted by focusing on the role of the anthropologist as social critic.

Starting with “Engaged Anthropology” (http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/ca/2010/51/S2), all supplementary symposia issues of Current Anthropology are now published online with “open access,” meaning anyone can download these articles. “Open access” epitomizes the Wenner- Gren mission to promote anthropology, by providing the freshest research from all branches of the discipline, to individuals and organizations lacking the resources to maintain subscriptions. And it is a matter of considerable pride that Current Anthropology has become the first mainstream anthropology journal to make a significant amount of content available online free-of-charge.

Initiatives Program

The Initiatives Program provided support to the World Council of Anthropological Associations (WCAA) for the development of their website. The Foundation helped to launch WCAA in 2004 and is pleased that there are currently 32 member associations. The website is the main vehicle through which the associations keep in touch and network, and was a priority goal in the WCAA development plan. Annual maintenance of the site is funded by other sources.

Another Initiatives grant was awarded to Dr. Fredrick Kyalo Manthi (National Museums of Kenya, Nairobi, Kenya) to provide support for a Human Evolution Workshop for Kenya's high school teachers/ educators. This was the second such workshop supported by Wenner-Gren; the first was held in 2007. The Kenyan National Museums curate one of the largest collections of human fossils anywhere and these workshops are of particular importance due to pressures from fundamentalist sectors in Kenya whose goals are to remove human evolution from school curricula as well as from public display at the museums.

Historical Archives Program

There were six Historical Archives grants awarded in 2010. Among these was a grant providing support to Dr. Nikolaas van der Merwe (U. Cape Town, South Africa, and Harvard University) to archive his personal research materials with the UCT Libraries. Dr. van der Merwe is one of the pioneers in the application of techniques from the natural sciences to the solution of archaeological problems. He developed a technique for the radiocarbon dating of iron alloys, which has been important in the study of the African Iron Age. He also developed stable isotope techniques to study the diets of prehistoric people. This research has revolutionized knowledge of diet in human evolution.

Support was also given to Dr. Joan Mencher, Emerita Professor of Anthropology at Lehman College and CUNY Graduate Center. Dr. Mencher’s career spans 50 years and has focused on food security, sustainable agriculture, and the role of multinational corporations in South India. She is currently Chair and Managing Director of the New Generation Foundation, which supports applied projects helping to meet the needs of the poorest groups—particularly women—in India. Her materials will be archived at the National Anthropological Archives in the Smithsonian Institution.

Mention should also be made of support for the preparation of the personal research materials of Waldo R. and Mildred M. Wedel. The Wedels have been described as one of the most famous archaeological partnerships of the 20th century. Waldo Wedel (1908-1996) was appointed Assistant Curator of Archaeology at the United States National Museum in 1936 and worked there throughout his career. His academic focus was on the prehistory of the Great Plains. Mildred Wedel (1912-1995) was an ethnohistorian specializing in early French explorations in the lower Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri River valleys. She was a distinguished scholar of Iowa archaeology and Prairie-Plains ethnohistory and was among the first women in the US to pursue archaeology as a profession. The Wedel research collections will also be archived at the National Anthropological Archives.

11 International Symposia

“The Biological Anthropology of Modern Human Populations: World Histories, National Styles, and International Networks” March 5-12, 2010, Hotel Rosa dos Ventus, Teresopolis, Brazil Organizers: Susan Lindee (U. of Pennsylvania) and Ricardo Ventura Santos (Federal U. of Rio de Janeiro and the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation)

The Symposium Organizers' Summary Statement:

Today biological anthropology in- volves the use of sophisticated genetic and genomic technologies, with careful attention to the relationships between researchers and research participants and to the ethical collection, storage, and use of collected DNA. The field has advanced far beyond its early origins in race studies, anatomy, and blood group analysis. Yet the historical and contextual questions that have long shaped the history of physical and biological anthropology still matter, as reflected in contemporary negotiations around race, ethnicity, and nationalism; the ownership of biological materials; the scientific meanings of populations; fieldwork in the global south; and complex, evolving ethical debates Seated: J. Radin, M. Little, R. Watkins, R. Santos, S. Lindee, L. Aiello, that are deeply inflected by history. L. Obbink. Standing: M. Low, C. Larsen, G. Santos, B. Smocovitis, A. Kakaliouras, W. Anderson, J. Reardon, G. Palsson, J. Kyllingstad, T. Turner, P. Selcer, J. Marks, A. Morris, J-F Véran, N. Cameron. Not In this symposium, we explored these Pictured: V. Lipphardt questions as part of a critical consideration of the present status and future of biological anthropology. It was our consensus that human diversity has been a core problem in physical anthropology throughout its history, and that its centrality makes it a useful window for understanding the broader enterprise and charting its possible futures.

While the term “anthropology” appeared in various texts to describe studies of anatomy in the 16th and 17th centuries, the mathematical and technical study of human populations and their physical characteristics—as a guide to their origins, racial identity, or relationships to other groups—originally developed in Europe at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. The development of a coherent and unified discipline to be known as physical anthropology (which was how biological anthropology was known for much of its history) involved a mid-19th century efflorescence of associations, periodicals, academic chairs, and specialist meetings centered especially in France and Germany. In the second half of the 19th century—in close association with colonial projects and concerns, with their interest in the characteristics of the native peoples in the colonies and in colonists’ adjustment to the newly occupied spaces—groups of physical anthropologists (in general educated doc- tors with training in anatomy) set themselves up in natural history museums and schools of medicine in many diverse regions in the world.

12 International Symposia, continued

We hoped that our symposium could provide critical comparative perspectives on this enterprise, with deep attention to the sociopolitical contexts that have long shaped scientific practice. In our far-ranging discussions, we were attentive to the roles of national politics in the differing development of physical anthropology in Japan, South Africa, Portugal, France, Germany, Brazil, Iceland, and the United States, and also to the ways that social and political contexts influenced the kinds of questions asked and the kinds of answers that seemed compelling and acceptable. We were particularly interested in how and why some groups, such as the Ainu in Japan, Native Americans in the United States, or Sami in Norway, functioned as markers of nationalist identities. We looked at the historical consistencies in scientific thinking about populations—the long threads of “isolation” and “hybridity” in two centuries of biological thought. We also considered in some depth the meanings and management of collections, of blood, bones, skin, and other biological materials central to the scientific and political work of biological anthropology. Human difference, however it is defined or characterized, has clearly been both a scientific and a social and political problem in many different contexts. Our discussions helped us think critically about this biosocial phenomenon and its historical importance.

We also addressed in our discussions the transition from a typological and essentialist physical anthropology (which predominated until the first decades of the 20th century) to a biological anthropology informed by evolutionism, which was initially labeled “new physical anthropology.” This process took on more specific contours in the 1940s and 1950s, being intimately associated with the end of World War II, the so-called “evolutionary synthesis,” and with debates about race, its existence or its irrelevance. If the unfolding of this transition has been well described in the cases of North America and of certain European contexts, the same cannot be said for other regions of the world. In some countries, such as the United States, this “new physical anthropology” in large part continued to be practiced in anthropology departments, which points towards a continuity in organizational structure. In other parts of the world, as in Brazil, a new physical/biological anthropology came to predominate in biology departments, while in natural history museums and akin there was continuity with typological perspectives of human biological variability. Mapping the configurations assumed by these transitions in different contexts was a key theme of discussion in the symposium.

Our goal for this symposium was to encourage a rich and productive dialogue across disciplines. The meeting drew together a diverse group of scholars with training in history, science studies, cultural anthropology, and biological anthropology, and with expertise in the history and current practice of physical and biological anthropology in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. We wanted to nurture a more sophisticated interpretation of the history and present status of the field and to develop together critical standpoints that could become shared resources for all of us. The exciting collection of papers prepared for this conference illuminate broad, important questions in biological anthropology. Themes used to organize the sessions at the symposium included: Anthropology and Transnationalism; Power and Hegemony in Anthropology; Truth and Politics; and New Exchanges and Possibilities in World Anthropologies.

Our interactions were lively, engaged, and productive. The dialogues begun at Teresópolis have continued since on websites, emails, and listserves. We wanted to build a network and were even more successful than anticipated. The collection of papers will be published as a supplementary volume of Current Anthropology, as part of the Wenner-Gren Symposium Series.

15 Osmundsen Initiative Grantees for 2010

To help promote public awareness of anthropology and highlight the unique perspectives this discipline presents on matters of broad interest, the Osmundsen Initiative provides up to an additional $5,000 to select Dissertation Fieldwork and Post-Ph.D. Re- search grantees, who have opted to be considered for this supplementary grant.

The goal of the Osmundsen Initiative—named in honor of Lita Osmundsen, president of the Foundation from 1963 to 1986—is to support the highest quality anthropological research that at the same time demonstrates the unique qualities of anthropology to make a significant contribution to contemporary social or intellectual issues.

18 Hunt Postdoctoral Fellows for 2010

Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships support the writing-up of already completed research, and are awarded to scholars in the earlier stages of their careers, when they frequently lack the time and resources to develop their research for publication. In 2010, ten Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships were awarded.

Dr. Fuambai Sia Ahmadu National Institutes of Health, Rockville, MD (USA) Project Title: “Female Initiation and Excision: Cultural and Global Health Contexts of Mandinka Ritual”

Abstract: My research is an anthropological case-study on the symbolic and social meanings of female initiation and excision among the Mandinka of the Gambia. My main question addresses one of the most vexing problems in contemporary debates in anthropology; whether and where anthropologists can “draw the line” of cultural relativism especially concerning women and children's rights. I look at parallels with male initiation and cir- cumcision and show how both female and male ritual practices are linked with Mande creation myths and the reproduction of gendered spheres of power outside of ritual. I pay particular attention to how initiation constructs sex, gender, gendered ecological and political domains and heteronorma- tivity. My proposal is to complete a full book manuscript that would provide a detailed description and analysis of female initiation/excision and connect this rich and unique ethnographic data with broader, cross-disciplinary discussions and the global interests of feminism, human rights, and public health interventions. The aim of the book is to advance theories of female initiation/excision, critically discuss current global anti-Female Genital Mutilation policies, and offer strategies for change that would preserve the cultural dignity and autonomy of affected girls and women while addressing concerns for their protection, health, and psychosexual well-being.

Dr. Linda Fibiger University of Cardiff, Cardiff, United Kingdom Project Title: “Confronting Violence: Skeletal Evidence for Interpersonal Violence in Neolithic Europe (5500-2000 BC)”

Abstract: Interpersonal violence has a history as old as humanity. To determine its causes, function, and consequences it is necessary to understand its prevalence across time and space. Skeletal trauma, especially head trauma, presents the only direct evidence for the oc- currence of violence in the past. This proposal for the first time applies a population-based approach to understand skeletal evidence for violent behavior in the small-scale societies of Neolithic Europe (5500- 2000 BC). In the largest such study so far, skeletal remains of over 1000 individuals from Germany, Denmark, and Sweden were examined in order to address both common ideas regarding the age and sex of those involved in violence and to consider long-term inter-regional changes in patterns of violence. My research shows that violence was not confined to inter-group events and featured much more commonly in the lives of Neolithic communities than previously thought. This approach opens up important new possibilities for discussing violence in recent small-scale societies by providing primary data on violent trauma that is impossible to obtain through ethnographic studies. Combining anthropological and archaeological models and primary research on skeletal trauma, I show how the nature, practice, and outcomes of violence relate to wider social changes affecting society.

Dr. Severin Morris Fowles Barnard College, New York, NY (USA) Project Title: “The Magician's Progress: Archaeology, Secularism, and Pre-Modern Religion”

Abstract: Funding is sought to support the completion of “The Magician’s Progress,” a book manuscript that builds upon the applicant's 2004 dissertation. The book seeks to chart a new course for the archaeology of religion by rigorously exploring the secular foundations of pre-modern religion as an anthropological category that is distinct from politics and economics. Much scholarship has compellingly argued that modern analytical categories of this sort obscure more than they clarify the nature of social life in pre-modern and non-Western settings; however, the categories remain and continue to guide archaeological research, in particular. “The Magician’s Progress” intervenes by developing an extended case study situated in the ancestral Northern Tiwa region of New Mexico in which indigenous understandings of “doings” take the place of anthropological category of “religion.” Drawing from a combination of archaeological, ethnographic, and oral historical evidence, the study traces the evolution of Pueblo doings over the past mil- lennium as varied groups immigrated into the region and came to both compete and collaborate. The result is a study of evolving Pueblo practice that does not search out the political aspects of religious change, but that seeks instead to transcend the categories of religion and politics altogether.

Dr. Darah Bronwen Horton U of Colorado, Denver, CO (USA) Project Title: “Medical Entrepreneurs: Middle Class Americans in the Medical Borderlands”

Abstract: The retreat of the state from providing public insurance, and the downshifting of responsibility for health onto the shoulders of individuals, has transformed health care into an expensive and elusive commodity in the US. As health insurance premiums have increased at triple the rate of wages since 2000, health insurance has increasingly become out of reach for middle class Americans. Middle class Americans have increasingly adopted medical travel in response to the restructuring of the US health care system along neoliberal lines. Recent anthropological research has shown that the health care system may be viewed as a “mode of governance” that instills particular subjectivities in its patients. Yet while anthropologists have focused on the way the health care system teaches low-income minorities and immigrants about their role in society, to date no research has examined the system's disciplinary effects on the middle class. This postdoctoral fellowship will fund six months of writing to finish a book manuscript entitled “Medical Entrepreneurs: Middle Class Americans in the Medical Borderlands.” “Medical Entrepreneurs” examines the way the US health care system has instilled a neoliberal spirit of medical entrepreneurialism towards health among middle class Americans, and proposes that medical travel is an expression of this spirit.

Dr. Ritu Khanduri University of Texas, Arlington, Texas (USA) Project Title: “Caricaturing Culture: Cartoons, History, and Modernity in India”

Abstract: The Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowship will aid the writing of my book, “Caricaturing Culture: Cartoons, History and Modernity in India.” “Caricaturing Culture” analyzes newspaper cartoons in India in order to understand the making of a modern profession, democratic politics, national identity formation, political mobilization, and the meaning visual media holds for the Indian public. Since 1878, with the publication of the Urdu newspaper “Oudh Punch,” the political cartoon has become integral to India's newspaper culture and remains a source for everyday political commentary. In highlighting cartoons as a distinct category both of “news” and “art” this multi-sited research demonstrates how and why a socially peripheral form becomes symbolically central to colonial and contemporary politics. Situated within the context of the anthropology of media, intellectuals, and South Asia, this historical anthropological study shows the concrete manifestation of multiple modernities. By constructing life stories of India's senior cartoonists, interviewing fans, activists, and brand managers, and by researching colonial and contemporary cartoons, my research theorizes modernity as a sensory experience interlinked with visuality, political agency, and competing aesthetics of humor.

Dr. Angela M. Nonaka University of Texas, Austin, Texas (USA) Project Title: “‘It Takes a Village’: Anthropological Analysis of Indigenous Sign Language Development and Decline in Thailand”

Abstract: The culmination of this project is an ethnography of Ban Khor, a rural Thai village. The community is unremarkable in most ways, save one. In response to widespread hereditary deafness, residents created a sign language that arose less than 100 years ago, spread in use throughout the community, and plays a critical role in socio-communicatively managing deafness. “Indigenous” or “village” sign languages, like Ban Khor Sign Language (BKSL), are rare. They emerge in small communities with labor-intensive economies, large deaf populations, and low occupational and educational dif- ferentiation between deaf and hearing people. This language variety begets a special type of speech community—a “speech/sign community”—where large portions of the hearing population sign and deaf people are well-integrated into village life. Indigenous/village sign languages are severely under- documented and highly imperiled. A response to calls to preserve endangered languages, this ethnographic case study documents BKSL and its speech/sign community in the ethno- linguistic record and elucidates the causes and consequences of this language variety’s vulnerability to language extinction. A theoretical counterpoint to formal linguistic treatments of these un(der)- documented manual-visual language isolates, this project also illustrates the applications and implications of a holistic anthropological approach for understanding indigenous/village sign languages and speech/sign communities.

Dr. David Allan Raichlen University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona (USA) Project Title: “Linking Brains and Brawn: Neurobiological Rewards, Cognition, and the Evolution of En- durance Running in Humans”

Abstract: This project presents new data linking the evolution of novel locomotor behaviors to the evolution of human neurobiology. The project is divided into two main parts with separate publication outcomes. First, the recent hypothesis that endurance running (ER) played a major role in human evolution is tested using a neurobiological model. A comparative study of neurotransmitter signaling shows that selection linked neurobiological rewards (e.g., the “Runner's High”) to ER in mammals that evolved to run long distances, including humans, while reward mechanisms are not activated by exercise in non-running mammals. These results strongly support the hypothesis that ER was the product of natural selection acting on humans during the early evolution of our genus. This portion of the project will result in three major publications detailing not only the results of this study but the implications of this study for our understanding of the human evolution and the origins of the genus Homo. The second part of this study is a review of the neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive sciences literature placing recent evidence linking exercise and cognition into a human evolutionary context. Recent data show that exercise (specifically ER) leads to the generation of new neurons, increased brain size, and increased cognitive performance in complex tasks. These studies have been performed on both humans and non- human animal models. This fellowship will support an extensive review paper that details a new hypothesis for the evolution of human cognitive complexity and increased brain size tied to the evolution of distance running.

Dr. Douglas Edward Ross Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia (Canada) Project Title: "Material Life and Socio-Cultural Transformation among Asian Transmigrants in British Columbia"

Abstract: My doctoral research focused on using archaeological data to compare the everyday material lives of two contemporary communities of Chinese and Japanese immigrants at an early 20th-century salmon cannery in British Columbia, Canada. This study employed a theoretical approach rooted in the concepts of transnationalism, diaspora, and material consumption to examine how processes of long-distance migration and competing loyalties between home and host countries shape experiences, identities, and consumer habits within immigrant communities. These objectives were explored by comparing patterning in archaeological artifacts associated with everyday domestic and work- related activities between the two communities, in the context of choices, structural constraints, and contemporary socio-economic and political circumstances in China, Japan, and Canada. Results indicate that material consumption patterns were influenced by a combination of local, regional, and international factors, and cultural tradition was only one of a number of factors contributing to construction of ethnic identities among Asian migrants. With the support of a Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowship, I am in the process of transforming my dissertation into a published book directed at reaching a wider scholarly audience in archaeology, anthropology, and the broader social sciences. As part of this project, I am expanding and updating my discussion of the role of interdisciplinary literature on transnationalism and diaspora in understanding material consumption patterns and ethnic identities among migrant groups, towards developing a full-fledged model of diasporic migration for archaeology.

Dr. Miriam N. Shakow Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee (USA) Project Title: “States of Discontent: Patronage, Liberalism, and Indigenous Democracy in Bolivia”

Abstract: My book manuscript, “States of Discontent,” is an ethnography of “post-neoliberalism” in Sacaba—a municipality of 140,000 in central Bolivia. After several decades during which anthropologists have focused considerable attention on the economic and social impacts of neoliberalism (free trade), some observers have tentatively proposed that Latin America has moved into a new phase of “post-neoliberalism.” But what might “post-neoliberalism” entail? In “States of Discontent,” I trace local debates over the dramatic political shifts in Bolivia, as political leaders have proclaimed a new era of indigenous power and state-led capitalism in place of racial exclusion and free trade. In the wake of the 2005 election of Evo Morales, Bolivia's first self-identified indigenous president, Bolivians have been questioning how to transform their identities and their political practices. In contrast to models of historical change that emphasize rupture between historical eras, my work finds that Bolivians continue to accumulate repertoires of political practices and expectations of the state. Even the most ardent supporters of the new regime simultaneously employed older political frameworks of clientelism (patronage) and neoliberal ideals.

Dr. Akiko Takeyama University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas (USA) Project Title: “Affect Economy: Neoliberal Class Struggle and Gender Politics in Tokyo Host Clubs”

Abstract: This ethnography examines how men and women in Japan's sex-related entertainment industry negotiate changing, yet pervasive gender, sexual, and class norms at the nexus of postindustrial consumerism and globalizing neoliberalism. My study focuses on Japan's host clubs, where young working-class men “sell” romance, love, and sometimes sex to indulge their female cli- ents' fantasies. It provides a window into new possibilities and constraints in gender and class politics. Based on my fieldwork, I argue that a commodified form of romance allows opportunities for Japanese men's upward class mobility and women's sexual liberation, while it simultaneously underscores new configurations of gender subordination, social inequality, and the exploitative nature of what I call an “affect economy” in Japan. The affect economy refers to the so-called service industry and, by extension, a postindustrial society that capitalizes on affect—a physiological intensity that can be strategically evoked and directed to mobilize the other. I propose an anthropological understanding of the affect economy whereby political rationality is transmitted, market value is generated, and social norms are negotiated. This study thus theorizes new forms and meanings of labor, commodities, and subjectivity that intertwine to reconfigure gender, class, and the notion of freedom in Japan.

23 Wadsworth African and International Fellows for 2010

Foreman Bandama University of Zimbabwe, Mt. Pleasant, Harare (Zimbabwe) Project: to aid training in archaeology at U. Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa, supervised by Dr. Shadreck Chirikure

I was born in a poor and relatively marginalized area of Chiredzi in Zimbabwe. Like many in my community, I did not have the privilege of a good family back- ground. Most of my age mates decided to run away from poverty by dropping out of school in search of menial jobs in South Africa. I decided to be different and resolved to pursue education against all odds in order to be exemplary in the society when I had grown up. This demanded hard work and discipline. The temptation to drop out of school was compounded by the fact that at times one had to forego lessons at school in order to help out in making ends meet at home. Nevertheless I soldiered on with my academic pursuits.

Although my undergraduate and post-graduate training was mostly in the fields of Iron Age archaeology and cultural resources management, I am particularly interested in the study of pre-European mining and metal working in southern Africa—a discipline known as archaeometallurgy. I was fortunate enough to enroll at the University of Cape Town, the only African institution with an archaeometallurgical laboratory, under the supervision of Dr. Shadreck Chirikure (a prior Wadsworth Fellow at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, United Kingdom).

Lena Asryan Artsakh State University, Republic of Nagorno Karabakh (Azerbaijan) Project: to aid training in archaeology at U. Rovira i Virgili, Tarragona, Spain, supervised by Dr. Andreu Olle Canellas

I completed my Master’s degree in archaeology in June 2006 at Artsakh State University (Republic of Nagorno Karabakh). In September 2008 I took up a two- year Erasmus Mundus scholarship to study full-time for a Master’s degree in Prehistory of Quaternary and Human Evolution at the University of Rovira i Virgili (URV). I graduated in September 2010 and began studying for my Ph.D. at the Institute of Human Palaeoecology and Social Evolution at URV after having been awarded a Wadsworth Fellowship.

I have a strong interest in palaeolithic archaeology, which developed through my involvement, since 2002, in the Azokh Cave project. For my Ph.D. research I am examining stone tool morpho-technology and typology, raw material type, and usewear of stone tools, as well as post-depositional factors that have affected these remains. In this way, I hope to gain information about the behavior and way of life of the hominins that inhabited Azokh Cave. I will also study material from other sites in Armenia and the Caucasus, since this region was one of the possible migration routes of early hominins from Africa into Europe and Asia.

The research and teaching staff at my host institution are actively engaged in research and fieldwork relevant for my area of specialization (e.g. Azokh Cave, Atapuerca, Orce, Sidron, and Dmanisi). I also chose this institution because it is an important European center for the study of archaeology and anthropology. Being in such an environment will greatly enhance my training and research, which I hope will lead to future long-term research collaborations.

Baishakhi Basu University of Delhi, Delhi (India) Project: to aid training in physical anthropology at U. of Washington, Seattle, WA, supervised by Dr. Darryl Holman

I am a first-year graduate student in the bio-cultural anthropology program at the University of Washington in Seattle. I developed a strong interest in female reproductive ecology in the final year of my Master’s program (University of Delhi) while writing a paper on the factors associated with female reproductive health and I decided to pursue a Ph.D. in this area.

I sought out programs at U.S. universities because of their diversity and the high quality of the research training. In this process, I learned that Dr. Darryl J Holman from the University of Washington was carrying out research in female reproductive ecology with his collaborative research group, using a novel quantitative approach. Dr. Holman has specialized in reproductive ecological research since 1993 and, along with his collaborators, has been building new biodemographic models, and devising new tools and techniques to pursue powerful research in reproductive ecology and biodemography. I have already taken five courses relevant to my research interest in the last two quarters. I am also in the process compiling data from a longitudinal investigation of Bangladeshi females for a scientific paper on menstrual cycle patterns.

Stephanie McCallum University of Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires (Argentina) Project: to aid training in social-cultural anthropology at U. of California, Santa Cruz, CA, supervised by Dr. Olga Najera-Ramirez

I am a socio-cultural anthropologist from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Although born in Bremen, Germany, I lived most of my life in Buenos Aires until moving to California, where I am currently pursuing my doctoral degree in anthropology at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

My past research focused on the politics of “refugee-ness” in Argentina, particularly on the shifting legitimacy of certain narratives as grounds for re- questing asylum. I was initially attracted to the graduate program at UC Santa Cruz by its creative and innovative approach to anthropology and by the high quality of the faculty’s research, and it has proven to be an excellent setting in which to further my training. As a Wadsworth International Fellow, I aim to continue delving into the understudied cartography of Argentina’s refugee system in order to understand the tensions between humanitarian and state discourses and quotidian refugee experience. These research interests reflect my broader aim of addressing issues of inequality and vulnerability as they are perceived, construed, and embodied. I also hope to explore why certain events and experiences—but not others—are construed as traumatic and as of “humanitarian interest,” and to delve into the broader discourse on human rights in Argentina—a discourse embedded in the country’s experience of dictatorship and in the claims to memory and justice.

Pablo Sandoval Lopez University of San Marcos, Lima (Peru) Project: to aid training in social-cultural anthropology at U. of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain, supervised by Dr. Susana Narotzky

The topic I will develop during my postgraduate in anthropology is the historical reconstruction of the links between indigenism and anthropology in Peru, in a temporal arch running from the 1940s through the 1990s. I plan to explore the historical and intellectual itinerary of Peruvian anthropology, and to propose for that a “periodification” that considers the weight and inheritance of the in- digenist paradigm—which came out of Mexico in the 1940s—and observe its continuities and ruptures within the anthropological community in the Peruvian Andes; to see finally its impact in the construction of a new anthropological agenda around the epistemological discourse of interculturality.

I have chosen the Department of Anthropology at the University of Barcelona, because its teaching staff shows an excellent academic quality, who develop their research within the framework of the most solid European anthropological traditions. It is also a department that recruits a wide diversity of students from different parts of the world, which allows me to meet and exchange diverse perspectives and intellectual traditions. I have specifically chosen this program for two main reasons. The first is a line of research about the geopoli- tics of knowledge in the history of anthropology in the world. This is lead by Professor Susana Narotzky, along with other fellow colleagues working in Latin America. Secondly, besides offering an excellent theoretical and methodological training, as well as an intellectual environment interested in the knowledge about Latin America, the Department of Anthropology at U. Barcelona offers a permanent follow up and advisory work in the design, development, and progress of the doctoral research.

Chalachew Mesfin Seyoum Authority of Research and Conservation of Cultural Heritage, Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) Project: to aid training in physical-biological anthropology at Arizona State U., Tempe, AZ, supervised by Dr. William H. Kimbel

I received my Bachelors (in history) and Masters (in paleontology) degrees from Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. My MSc. thesis (completed in 2009) focused on the systematics and paleoecology of cercopithecids monkeys (Theropithecus) from the Pliocene Dikika site, under the supervision of Dr. Zeresenay Alemseged. I am an employee of the Authority for Research and Conservation of Cultural Heritage since June 2004 as antiquity officer and curator. In my attachment to the Authority, I have performed a number of outstanding tasks as counterpart to foreign researchers in the field, and helped establish new comparative collections in the National Museum of Ethiopia. Now I am pursuing my Ph.D. at Arizona State University (ASU) under the supervision of Dr. William Kimbel. For my doctoral research, I am interested in body size and ecology in Pliocene Australopithecus. ASU is a good fit for my study and research because of its long-standing work in Ethiopia and because it has a long history of mentoring doctoral students in the areas of my interest. I am especially interested to learn and work with Dr. William Kimbel. The presence of Drs. Kaye Reed, Gary Schwartz, and Chris Campisano in the faculty is also valuable in my study

26 Wadsworth International Fellows who completed their doctorates in 2010

Sarah K. Amugongo University of Nairobi, Nairobi (Kenya) Project: to aid training in biological anthropology at U. of California, Berkeley, CA, sponsored by Leslea J. Hlusko

Duration: Supported by the foundation for three years of training (September 2006 to September 2009), plus an additional year of support for dissertation write-up (January 2010 to January 2011)

I completed and filed my dissertation in October 2010. In November 2010, I moved to the Dept. of Internal Medicine at the University of California-Davis, to begin my post-course practical training as a postdoctoral scholar. This is a great opportunity for me to learn and expand my knowledge on the skills and techniques used in skeletal research. I am currently investigating how the different drugs used for osteoporosis treatment impact skeletal health.

I was awarded a “Young Investigators” award by the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research and presented a poster at the “Forum on Aging and Skeletal Health” held in Bethesda, Maryland, in March 2010.

After my postdoctoral training, I plan to pursue a career in a research institution where I can establish my own laboratory, continue with research in skeletal biology, and mentor students.

Batamaka Some University of Ouagadougou, Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) Project: to aid training in social-cultural anthropology at U. of Illinois, Urbana, IL, supervised by Dr. Mahir Saul

Duration: Supported by the foundation for three years of training (August 2003 to September 2006) plus an additional year of support for dissertation write-up (May 2008 to May 2009)

I wrote and defended my dissertation successfully in November 2009. After relevant revisions, I completed and filed the work in summer, graduating in August 2010. Since graduation, I have contributed an entry to the Encyclopedia of Glob- al Religion (Sage Publications) that has been accepted for publication. In late September 2010, I received invitation from the International Food Policy Institute (IFPRI), which allowed my participation in a five-day international workshop in Beijing, China, on “Gender, Health, and Genetically Modified Crops in Develop- ing Countries.” In terms of professional opportunity, I obtained a short-term consultancy contract at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as an anthropologist and gender expert in the Agricultural Development Program, working in the Market Access Initiative. Among other efforts, my work consists of analyzing and providing advice on the sociocultural and gender understanding necessary to enhance approaches to, and efficiencies of, different interventions in Africa and South Asia. In this vein, I have had the privilege to travel to West Africa to visit some of the foundation’s sponsored projects. My short and medium-term plans include finalizing two draft articles for publication and revising my dissertation into a book.

53 Major Grant Program Statistics for 2010

The Foundation has six major grant programs. Dissertation Fieldwork Grants, Post Ph.D. Research Grants, and International Collaborative Research Grants are given to individuals at various stages of career to carry out research projects. The Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded to young scholars to provide time for publication of major pieces of research. The Wadsworth Fellowships allow scholars to receive doctoral training in Anthropology that is not available in their home countries and the Conference and Workshop Grants fund academic meetings in the discipline.

Over the six major grant programs, the Foundation received 1358 applications and made 237 awards in 2010 for an overall success rate of 17.5%. This compares with a total of 1351 applications and 169 awards in 2009 for an overall success rate of 12.5%.

Grand Total 1358 237 17.5%

Application Numbers

The total application numbers across the three major grant programs (Dissertation Fieldwork Grants, Post-Ph.D. Research Grants and Hunt Fellowships) are virtually identical in 2009 and 2010 (see following table).

Although the overall number of applicants did not change between 2009 and 2010, there has been a modest decrease in the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant applications and an increase in the Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowship applications.

Success Rates

In 2010 success rates were uniformly higher than in 2009, with the exception of the International Collab- orative Research Grant program (see below). The lower success rate for the ICRG program was due to the unexpectedly high number of applications received.

% Approvals in 2009 and 2010 2009 2010 Dissertation Fieldwork Grant 11.8% 17.4% Post-Ph.D. Research Grant 12.2% 15.7% Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowship 5.9% 6.7% Conference and Workshop Grants 36.7% 64.3% International Collaborative Research Grant 20.7% 16.3% Wadsworth Fellowships 16.7% 26.1% Grand Total 12.5% 17.5%

The higher success rates in general resulted from the relaxation of the 2009 budgetary constraints, which were put in place in response to the then difficult fiscal circumstances. This permitted the Founda- tion to award six Wadsworth Fellowships in 2010 compared to five in 2009, to award ten Hunt Fellow- ships in 2010 compared to eight in 2009, and to increase the success rates for the Conference and Workshop Grant program to historic levels.

Resubmissions

For both the Dissertation Fieldwork and Post-Ph.D. Grant programs (as in previous years), the success rates for resubmissions were higher than those for first-time applicants.

Roughly 25% of the Dissertation Fieldwork applications were resubmissions (215 out of a total of 858) and the success rate for the resubmissions was 24.7% (53 out of 215) compared to 15.1% for first-time applicants (97 out of 643). There were fewer resubmissions for the Post-Ph.D. Grant program (24 resubmissions out of 242 applications = 17.4%), however the resubmissions had a 16.7% success rate (7 out of 42) in relation to 15.5% for first time applicants (31 out of 200).

This suggests that applicants are benefiting from the feedback provided by the Foundation and are able to develop stronger and more competitive proposals as a result.

English Speakers and the English-speaking Environment

The foundation continues to monitor the success rates of applicants coming from non-English speaking environments. There is a consistent pattern whereby non-native-English speaking applicants from non- English-speaking academic environments have lower success rates than applicants who apply from English language countries. Non-native-English speakers who apply from English language environments frequently have higher success rates than English-speaking applicants.
