2 Chair’s Introduction

Lorraine Sciarra Chair, Board of Trustees Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, Inc.

This year has been a significant year for the Wenner-Gren Foundation. The Foundation celebrated its 75th anniversary with a host of special events and programs while also undergoing a major shift in its leadership. 2016 was Dr. Leslie Aiello’s last full year as Foundation President and in May 2016 Seth Masters stepped down as Chair of the Board. Leslie became President in 2005 and Seth became Board Chair in 2008. Together they secured the foundation’s finances and invigorated its work.

Nothing illustrates this better than this past year’s accomplishments including Leslie’s written history of the Foundation and the establishment of SAPIENS, the online news magazine for Anthropology sponsored by Wenner-Gren. I would like to acknowledge and to thank Leslie and Seth for their extraordinary service and leadership. I would also like to welcome the Foundation’s new President, the eminent scholar, Dr. Danilyn Rutherford, who is uniquely qualified to lead the Foundation at this time. We eagerly look forward to the Foundation’s future, including embarking on a formal strategic planning process this year.

3 President’s Report

Danilyn Rutherford President Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, Inc.

The period covered by this report was a year of transition. In June 2017, Leslie Aiello stepped down from the presidency of the Wenner-Gren Foundation, a position she held with care, imagination, and a keen organizational eye for over twelve years. I assumed the presidency in July 2017, joining Lorraine Sciarra, who just a year earlier had become the new chair of our board. Change of all kinds was in the wind. We were searching: for a new editor for Current Anthropology, our academic journal; for a new grants management system for our long-suffering applicants and reviewers; for new office space; for consultants to guide us through a new strategic plan. For me personally, 2017 meant discovering a new city, getting to know new colleagues, and adjusting to a job with a rhythm very different from that of academic life. I’ve fallen in love with all three – the city, the colleagues, and the job. It truly has been a privilege to do this work.

At the end of the summer of 2017, I came upon a planning document Sydel Silverman wrote in 1987 when she was the incoming president. In it, she laid out five features of Wenner-Gren’s identity. She framed three in terms of our commitments: to basic research, to the internationalism of anthropology, and to an inclusive vision of the discipline. The last two focused on our actions: building the research infrastructure and providing leadership for the field. I though back over the year I spent shadowing Leslie as she hosted board meetings and symposia and navigated the review process. It was as if I’d discovered her secret recipe. There are all kinds of ways to describe Wenner-Gren– in terms of the size of our endowment, our expenditures on overhead, the kinds of levels of funding we provide. But what defines us is an ethic. An ethic of service to a discipline that by a stroke of historical fortune has a grant agency dedicated to meeting its needs.

The following reports outline the ways in which Wenner-Gren served anthropology during 2017. Here are a few highlights. We gave away $2,726,651 in funding in our Dissertation Fieldwork Grant and Postdoctoral Research Grant programs. Around the world, 137 doctoral students and 40 postdoctoral researchers are undertaking research with our support. When all is said and done, we’ll know more about everything from raw materials procurement from the Pinilla del Valle Neanderthals to race, family, and nation in college football. Nine recent doctorates are using Hunt Fellowships to support them while they write books; five are using Fejos Fellowships to complete films; with our Wadsworth International and Wadworth Africa Fellowships, seven graduate students from countries without a well-established tradition of anthropology are studying for their PhDs. Conferences have happened or are happening with our support: in Florianopolis, Cairo, Stockholm, Penang, and many other places. There have been or will be workshops on topics ranging from the in contemporary Turkey to the human occupation of the Nile Valley between 75,000 to 15,000 years ago. 2017 saw the publication of three special issues of Current Anthropology based on Wenner-Gren symposia, along with four regular issues. Our magazine for non-, SAPIENS, came out weekly and was read nearly 2 million times. SAPIENS staff worked with 47 anthropologists to craft articles that exposed broad publics

to their ideas.

Next year, there will be even more news to share. Here at Wenner-Gren, we are excited about the future. For now, please enjoy the following tour of the forms wonderful work in anthropology took in 2017.

5 Program Highlights for 2017

Program highlights include: updates on the SAPIENS news portal; progress reports from Institutional Development Grant recipients; organizers’ statements from two Wenner-Gren Symposia held during the year; descriptions of this year’s Historical Archives Program grants, Hunt and Fejos Postdoctoral Fellow- ships, and new awards made to international scholars to train under our Wadsworth African and International Fellowship programs.

SAPIENS: Anthropology/Everything Human

SAPIENS, the Wenner-Gren news portal for anthropology, hit its stride in 2017. In January 2017, an important milestone was reached when the website was accessed 1,000,000 times. By the end of August, the number was 2,000,000. Over the course of the calendar year, 122 articles were read more than 1.7 million times.

Aside from a significant readership, SAPIENS has garnered honors: from the 2017 New Directions Group Prize by the American Anthropological Association General Anthropology Division, to a recommendation from the New York Times’s column “What We’re Reading.” Within the discipline, its reputation is equally stellar.

At the American Anthropology Association Annual Meeting in November 2017, Chip Colwell and Amanda Mascarelli offered a workshop on writing for the public that quickly sold out. SAPIENS has more than 62,000 Facebook likes and nearly 10,000 Twitter followers. It has attracted a growing number of partners, who syndicate its work.

Institutional Development Grants

The Foundation has a long-standing interest in the international development of anthropology. The Insti- tutional Development Grant program’s purpose is to support the growth and development of anthro- pological 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. One new IDG was awarded in 2017.

2017 IDG Recipient: Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago, Chile (2018-2022)

The 2017 Institutional Development Grant (term 2018-2022) was awarded for the development of a doctoral program in anthropology at Pontificia Universidad Católica (PUC) de Chile, Santiago, Chile. Faculty from the Department of Anthropology at PUC Chile will be working with senior anthropologists from Stanford University, University College London, and Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú to develop a doctoral program. Authoritarian rule and the privatization of universities in Chile have hampered the discipline’s development in this country; This proposal has support not simply from a strong set of institutional partners, but from the large, comprehensive research university where the program will be housed.

6 Program Highlights for 2016

2016 IDG Recipient: nstitut Fondamental d'Afrique Noire, University Cheikh Anta Diop of Dakar, Senegal

The Laboratory of Anthropology and Cultural Engineering (LAIC)’s first goal was to develop teaching space and assemble the necessary equipment to establish an optimal learning and teaching environment, including setting up a pilot multimedia space for distance learning. Distance learning will tap the expertise of our partners to fill the gap in underrepresented sub-fields (bioanthropology and ) in our curricula. Our second goal was to organize a symposium for curriculum development, prepare and send calls for student and postdoc applications to the program, and set up an advisory committee for the selection of candidates.

We received a total of 21 student applications. Our international advisory committee reviewed and selected four students in ; two in bioanthropology and three in cultural anthropology. Since we only received two postdoc applications we decided to extend the call and reach out to more potential candidates. The symposium “Reconstructing postcolonial Anthropology: challenges, directions, and methods for a new doctoral program,” was structured around 4 thematic sessions (sociocultural anthropology and ; archaeology and bioanthropology; scientific and cultural leadership; publication policy and a forum on knowledge and ). It was attended by 69 participants from various national and international institutions.

The program faces challenges that need to be addressed in the months and years to come. In particular, we will need greater institutional support from the University Cheikh Anta Diop and the Minister of Higher Education and Research. The program’s sustainability depends on that support and on our capacity to make it relevant within Senegalese higher education and communities alike. Rapid growth of the student population is another major concern that will need to be addressed.

2016 IDG Recipient: The College of and Studies, Royal University of Bhutan, Taktse, Trongsa, Bhutan

The first year of the College of Language and Culture Studies’ IDG grant produced outcomes that far surpassed expectations. Designated as a year of planning, curriculum development, and RUB proposal initiation, approval, and validation, the PhD program in Anthropology has just successfully achieved its goal of being approved by the Academic Programs Review Committee of the Royal University of Bhutan. CLCS’s three main goals included: developing a doctoral program in cultural anthropology, supporting rigorous ethnographic research, and establishing a premiere academic and professional research institution of excellence for the practice of anthropology in Bhutan and the Buddhist Himalayas. The IDG team has completed several activities: an on-line survey and interviews used to develop the proposal submitted to the APRC; national and international workshops; a UCLA exchange visit by Dr. Nancy Levine, who also presented a lecture to the Network of Bhutan Anthropologists; two CLCS research exchange fellowships to UCLA and a visiting lectureship at UCLA

by Dr. Ritu Verma who taught a course on ; two research fellowships for ethnographic research in Bhutan; presentation of a paper and networking at the UK’s Association of Social Anthropologists; media coverage in national newspapers, and the purchase of physical resources including books, printers and a projector. Additional accomplishments include the receipt of a book donation of over seven hundred books by Thai , Dr. Paritta.

Baltic-Region Universities Joint Doctoral Program -- University of Tallinn (Estonia), University of Latvia, Riga Stradins University (Latvia), and Vytautus Magnus University Lithuania (2015-2019)

Several tasks were accomplished in 2017. A joint meeting of the Baltic Anthropology Graduate School (BAGs) Advisory Board was held in October to evaluate project development and draft a consortium agreement. Though structural and legal developments have hindered the formal launch of the program, a graduate seminar was held to discuss student research projects and ways to increase student inclusion in the BAGs network. A database of professors and PhD students 'affiliated' with BAGS (names, fields of expertise, institutional and email addresses) was created and posted on the BAGs website. A series of student- organized workshops/sessions on different topics was also proposed. A new partner joined BAGs – the University of Tartu with its strong interdisciplinary /cultural studies doctoral program.

Recording devices for student research and key academic texts were purchased and progress was made developing the BAGs website and social media. A Marie-Curie application seeking additional support in the development of the doctoral program was prepared and submitted though it was not funded.

Main obstacles: Ongoing negotiations were held with the Ministry of Education and Science to discuss strategies for maneuvering the national science classification system so that the doctoral program in anthropology can be accredited. In addition, the opening of a new EU funding line to support joint programs in Latvia was postponed, which further delayed the official launch of the Joint Doctoral Study Council.

New opportunities: The opening of new EU Structural Fund lines is also being explored in Estonia, where funds have already been released. With a program ready for implementation BAGs is in an advantageous position to secure funds to cover positions not supported by WG (program administration and accreditation costs).

Wenner-Gren Symposia Overview

Wenner-Gren Symposia are week-long workshops that involve a small group of invited scholars who meet for intensive discussion and debate that address “big” questions in anthropology. Symposia are administered and fully supported (both financially and logistically) by the Foundation, and are based on a format that was developed and refined at Burg Wartenstein castle, the Foundation’s European confer- ence center from 1958 to 1980.

Wenner-Gren symposia are held at venues in the US and abroad that allow for an intimate meeting in a congenial environment with minimal distraction. The Foundation tries to sponsor two symposia each year with the papers published in an open-access supplementary issue of the Foundation’s journal, Current Anthropology.

The following two Wenner-Gren Symposia were held in 2017.

“ of Militarism” March 11-17, 2017 Tivoli Palacio de Seteais, Sintra, Portugal

Organized by Hugh Gusterson (George Washington U.) and Catherine Besteman (Colby College)

A detailed description of this symposium can be found on page .

“Patchy Anthropocene: Frenzies and Afterlives of Violent Simplifications” September 8-14, 2017 Tivoli Palacio de Seteais, Sintra, Portugal

Organized by Anna Tsing (Aarhus U. and UC-Santa Cruz) and Andrew S. Mathews (UC- Santa Cruz).

Current Anthropology Supplementary Issues

The Foundation publishes 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.

“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 was the first mainstream anthropology journal to make a significant amount of content available, online and free-of-charge.

In 2017, the following supplementary issues from Wenner- Gren Symposia were published:

“New Media, New Publics?” Guest editors: Charles Hirschkind (U. of California- Berkeley), Maria Jose de Abreu (U. Amsterdam/ICI Berlin) and Carlo Caduff (Kings College London)

Current Anthropology 2017, vol. 58, S15 (Feb 2017) Wenner-Gren Symposium Supplementary Issue 15. Eds. Charles Hirschkind, Maria José A. de Abreu, and Carlo Caduff

Wenner-Gren Symposium #151 was held March 13-19, 2015, at the Tivoli Palacio de Seteais Hotel Sintra, Portugal.

“Fire and the Genus Homo” Guest Editors: Dennis M. Sandgathe and Francesco Berna (Simon Fraser U.) Current Anthropology 2017, vol. 58, S16 (August 2017).

Wenner-Gren Symposium #152 was held October 15-22, 2015, at the Tivoli Palacio de Seteais Hotel Sintra, Portugal.

“Human Colonization of Asia in the Late Pleistocene” Guest Editors: Christopher Bae (U. Hawaii at Manoa), Michael Petraglia and Katerina Douka (Oxford University). Current Anthropology 2017, vol. 58, S17 (December 2017).

Wenner-Gren Symposium #153 was held March 18-24, 2016, at the Tivoli Palacio de Seteais Hotel Sintra, Portugal.

These editions bring the total number of Current Anthropology supplementary issues to seventeen.

Historical Archives Program

Five Historical Archives Program grants were awarded in 2017 to support archiving the personal research materials of the following anthropologists:

An Historical Archives Program grant went to Edward Bruner, an early proponent of interpretive approaches within sociocultural anthropology, was awarded a Historical Archives Program grant in Bruner took his first anthropology course with Alfred Kroeber at Columbia in 1947. He earned his doctorate at the University of Chicago, where he worked with , , and . Bruner’s dissertation, which focused on and social change among the Mandan-Hidatsa, a Native North American nation, represented an early departure from dominant paradigms, which focused on abstract models rather than the lived experience of relationships. In the 1970s he organized two influential symposia. These provided the basis for Text, Play, and Story: The Construction and Reconstruction of Self and Society (1984), and, with Victor Turner, The Anthropology of Experience (1986), edited volumes that inaugurated what some refer to as anthropology’s postmodern turn. In the early 1980s, he was among the first anthropologists to take up tourism as a research topic, an interest that led to his Culture on Tour: of Travel (2005). Bruner spent the bulk of his career teaching at the University of Illinois. He will deposit his research materials there in the University of Illinois library.

Another went to Dr. Lambros N. Comitas to aid in the preparation of research materials from Vivian Garrison Arensberg, who conducted fieldwork in New York and Puerto Rice during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Garrison Arensberg received her doctorate from Columbia in 1971 with a dissertation entitled “Social Networks, Social Change and Mental Health among Migrants in a New York City Slum.” Her interests ranged from health policy and alternative health systems, including santeria and espiritismo, to US immigration policy and Dominican family networks. With her husband, Cornelius Arensberg, who did pioneering work on complex and the dynamics of social interaction, she published a widely cited essay on the “evil eye.” Garrison Arensberg’s collection will be integrated into the Papers of Conrad Arensberg presently held in the Smithsonian's National Anthropological Archives.

Suzanne Villeneuve received an Historical Archives Grant to aid in the preparation of the research materials of Brian Hayden, a leader in the archaeological study of domestication, inequality, and cultural and technological change. Hayden received his doctorate at the University of Toronto in 1976 and went on to spend the majority of his career teaching at Simon Fraser University, where he became known for his creative use of as a source of archaeological insight. He has been the principle investigator on three major research projects using this method: one involving the ethnographic documentation of stone tools use and production among Western Australian Aborgines; another on the material culture and socioeconomic characteristics of Highland Maya households; and a third culminating in a thirty year excavation program (with Suzanne Villeneuve) focused on large residential and ritual structures at Keatley Creek. His collection will be housed at the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria, Canada.

Historical Archives Program, continued

An Historical Archives grant went to Dr. Meredith S. Chesson and Dr. Morag Kersel to aid in the preparation of the research materials of R. Thomas Schaub, for deposit in the Carnegie Institute of Natural History. The collection will include field notebooks, analytical notes, photographic materials and journals relating to the Expedition to the Dead Sea Plain (EDSP), a forty year research program focusing on the early origins of urbanization in the Middle East. Trained as an architect, Schaub left the priesthood to become an archaeologist, earning his doctorate in archaeology from the University of Pittsburgh in 1973. During the same year, he joined with his longtime colleague, Walter Rast, to establish the EDSP. Chesson and Kersel have been involved in the EDSP in the early 2000s, when they began work on a series of publication drawing on data from the EDSP’s excavations, along with new research and analysis. Schaub’s collection will be housed alongside artifacts excavated in the various sites.

Edward L. Schieffelin received an Historical Archives grant for the preparation of research materials from his pioneering work among the Bosavi people of Papua New Guinea. Schieffelin studied physics and philosophy at Yale and received his doctorate in anthropology from the University of Chicago in 1972. He taught at Fordham, then the University of Pennsylvania and Emory University, before moving to University College London, where he is Reader Emeritus. He is the author of two widely acclaimed books: The Sorrow of the Lonely and the Burning of the Dancers (2005 [1976]), a pillar in the study of ritual and symbolic culture, and Like People You See in a Dream (1991), a sweeping ethnohistorical account of early experiences of colonial contact in six New Guinea societies. The collection will be housed in the Smithsonian's National Anthropological Archives.

“Cultures of Militarism” March 11-17, 2017, Tivoli Palacio de Seteais, Sintra Portugal Organizers: (Catherine Besteman (Colby College) and Hugh Gusterson, (George Washington U.)

Organizers’ Statement

Anthropological interest in militarism has grown dramatically in recent decades. These years have seen the collapse of some Cold War client states, the proliferation of militia-led insurgen- cies, the increasing articulation of counterinsur- gency abroad with domestic policing at home in many Western countries, the reformulation of the UN into an institution of militarized peace- keeping and occupation, and a growing aware- ness of the ways in which militarism as a set of cultural practices and ideologies pervades all domains of social life. The symposium aims to develop anthropological analyses of militarism as it is currently evolving both in the global north and south. We are particularly interested in the ways the new militarism inflects law, gen- Front: L. Obbink, D. Neson, D. Hoffman, L. Aiello, D. Goldstein, E. Weiss, M. Clemencia Ramirez. Middle: A. der, subjectivity, social memory, knowledge pro- Fattal, S. Ross, B. Rappert, F. Devji, F. Ferrándiz, R. duction, popular culture, labor, and cultural con- Hammami. Back: A. Bickford, T. Robben, D. Rutherford, H. structions of security. Gusterson, C. Besteman, A. Gul Altinay. .

Militarism is a cultural system; it is shaped through ideology and rhetoric, effected through bodies and technologies, made visible and invisible through campaigns of imagery and knowledge production, and it colonizes aspects of social life such as reproduction, self-awareness, and notions of community. We seek to provoke conversations about militarism in its established and emergent forms, probing its gene- alogies, its facility at colonizing daily life, and its ability to present itself as a response to insecurities it has itself provoked.

The new militarism operates through a variety of legal and territorial regimes. Arrangements of occupa- tion, as in Israel’s occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, coexist with the U.S. archipelago of hundreds of foreign military bases. Meanwhile the replacement of state militaries throughout the world with milita- rized non-state entities that may operate outside of national and international law, such as militias, pri- vate security contractors, pirates, and even NGOs is shifting militarism in some contexts from a set of state-sanctioned and controlled structures to a contested, often opaque, set of negotiations and confron- tations between actors responding to the demands and desires of leaders who may or may not have any legal or official political recognition. How can we make sense of an emerging world order where power- ful military entities are ascendant that may not represent the interests of states and who may not be re- sponsive to in ternational agreements concerning warfare? What is the role of law in this emergent world order?

We will also discuss the implications of new military technologies. These include drones and surveil- lance technologies that enable targeted killings and renditions outside of formally declared warzones, as well as technologies to shield and re-engineer the human body. Military practice is also inflected by new media technologies and the projects of memorialization they enable. How are militarized acts and atroci- ties recorded, analyzed, remembered, archived? What are the implications of the new relationships be- ing forged in the US between military and popular culture creators, such as Hollywood films, video game companies, and toy companies? How does cultural production through military-entertainment profes- sionals shape the militarization of knowledge, subjectivity, and cultural memory?

13 Wenner-Gren Symposia Reports, continued

We would also like to explore the expansion of militarism into other social domains through the broad militarization of security, such as in policing, border security and migration, humanitarian interventions, and responses to natural disasters. Police forces in the US adopt heavy military materiel produced for war; US military forces train police forces in African and Middle Eastern countries; humanitarian inter- ventions in the Balkans, Haiti, and African countries are now routinely conducted in collaboration with or through institutions run by military organizations; immigration control across southern Europe, the US- Mexican border, and in Israel makes increasing use of military technology, tactics, and practices to po- lice the movement of people.

We aim for a symposium and, beyond that, an outstanding special issue of Current Anthropology that, while anchored in the perspective of anthropology, brings together in conversation analyses from differ- ent disciplines (including geography and political science), perspectives from the global south as well as the north, and analytic frames grounded in a range of epistemologies.

“Patchy Anthropocene: Frenzies and Afterlives of Violent Simplifications” September 8-14, 2017, Tivoli Palacio de Seteais Hotel, Sintra, Portugal Organizers: Anna Tsing (UC-Santa Cruz/Aarhus U.) Nils Bubandt (Aarhus U.) and Andrew Mathews (UC-Santa Cruz)

Organizers’ Statement When geologists first argued that mod- ern humans were a geological force and should have an epoch named af- ter them—Anthropocene—cultural anthropologists were skeptical. After all, the term encapsulated many of the problems anthropologists have pointed to in science policy, including willing- ness to view the planet as a homoge- neous space and the human race as a homogenous group. In the past few years, however, anthropologists have begun to join multidisciplinary conver- sations in hopes that anthropological insights might reshape Anthropocene discussions, and, conversely, that the urgencies of the Anthropocene might spark a new anthropology. This Wen- Front: Laurie Obbink, Jacob Doherty, Rosa Ficek, Donna Haraway, ner-Gren Symposium pushes forward Heather Swanson, Ivette Perfecto, Anna Tsing, Zahirah Suhaimi, Kate this agenda through an exploration of Brown, Vanessa Agard-Jones, Naveeda Khan, Danilyn Rutherford, a “patchy Anthropocene,” that is, the Andrew Mathews, Nils Bubandt, Natasha Myers, Frédéric Keck, Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, Atsuro Morita, Mike Hadfield fragmented landscapes of livability and unlivability created by colonialism and industrial development. On the one hand, we are concerned with “violent simplifications,” that is, ecological estrangements and displacements that threaten more-than-human livability. On the other hand, we do not look for these threats merely in elite plans; instead, our focus is on the unintentional design of landscapes, that is, the social and ecological arrangements that have devel- oped beyond the planning of any authority. To invoke the unintentional is not to argue for pure souls who should not be blamed for destroying the earth. Indeed, blaming is often useful in sparking remedial action. However, our point is to move beyond the dreams of engineers to attend to the consequences of their actions, whether or not they imagined them. Predicting the fate of the earth through the strange dreams of planners is a powerful bad habit that has developed over the last several centuries and continues to reign in the shape of a vision of a “good Anthropocene”; we refuse that vision. This allows us, too, to offer full regard to the historically shifting actions of nonhumans, both living and nonliving. Some nonhumans become allies of industrial and impe- rial landscape engineering; others interrupt their simplifications and coercions. Landscapes are the sedi- ments of both kinds of actions, along with those of both elite and subaltern humans. Three kinds of unintentional design inform our discussion. First, we examine the logics and limits ofeco- logical simplifications, as these have been key to the making of “resources” for capital, on the one hand, and the invasion of indigenous space, on the other. Second, we track forms of violence that exceed the logics of planners. Finally, we turn to hope amidst apocalypse—of the kind that emerges out of uninten- tional design. Together, these kinds of unintentionality help us describe a patchy Anthropocene in which threats to livability are far from randomly distributed. By investigating more-than-human landscapes that emerge from, yet also exceed, industrial and imperial plans, we hope to identify “Anthropocene-in-the- making.” This also means sketching the contours of an anthropology pushed onto new terrain in its ef- forts to explore a world where the violence of modern simplification and the poisons of the Great Accel- eration are creating new worlds of livability and unlivability. Anthropology, we suggest, is currently in a moment of experiment and retooling that would allow it to align the potential of a more-than-human an- thropology with insights from critical political history; to cultivate new forms of collaboration that are open

to learning from indigenous cosmologies as well as from the natural sciences and environmental activism; and to study both the secular rationalities of a world in ecological crisis and the nonsecu- lar fissures of hope and wonder amidst disaster.

The Symposium begins the arduous process, then, of intervening in debates about dramatic envi- ronmental change by describing the Anthropocene with the tools that anthropology can make avail- able—through trans-disciplinary collaboration, ethnographic insight into indigenous worlds, as well as critical reflection about the otherwise—in full recognition of heterogeneity and power differences across life on earth. Anthropology, arguably, has always been the study of unintended conse- quences; our conference brings this anthropological perspective to more-than-human landscapes.

The three themes of the Symposium are addressed in three sessions, each organized into dia- logues.

I. More-than-human estrangements: what worlds do simplification and acceleration make? A puzzle to consider: The proliferation of modern engineering has also been the proliferation of pests and plagues.

Projects of state-making and empire building, of weaving world-spanning commodity networks and intrusive bureaucracies, have helped produce the environmental and cultural transformations that we now call Anthropocene. Such projects have focused on controlling plants, animals, and material processes, and on related efforts to define and control the people who work in plantations, facto- ries, farms, or broader landscapes. At every stage, efforts to control humans and nonhumans have been undermined or reworked by transformations and escapes from control, sometimes visibly, sometimes almost unnoticed. From the Columbian exchange, which moved people, plants, animals and diseases between the Old and New World, to plantation economies which helped bring into being smallholder cultivation systems and forms of anti- and decolonial political resistance, to more recent efforts to build factory-farm systems that have produced new diseases, the ordering projects of modernity have continually undermined themselves, producing unexpected escapes, transfor- mations, and estrangements. The first set of dialogues in this symposium asks participants to con- sider how world-making projects have produced unexpected consequences, how new and strange forms of human and non-human have come into being. How do the more-than-human relations of non-humans produce new diseases, new plants and animals, new kinds of human subjects, and new landscapes? How might the details of particular cases and landscapes help us understand the Anthropocene more widely, perhaps as “Plantationocene,” perhaps as “Capitalocene,” perhaps as something else? How might thinking of the spaces of modernist control as inhabited by excess and escape enrich anthropological engagements with the Anthropocene? What new concepts, methods or collaborations might we need in order to engage with these experimental spaces?

II. Patchy violence: what kinds of unlivability shape the Anthropocene? A puzzle to consider: Why, despite continual assertions of its homogeneity, is the Anthropocene so uneven?

The Anthropocene is a time of heightened violence against all living things on earth; the big ques- tion today is whether enough can survive to allow the kinds of life on earth we inherited from the Holocene, and earlier epochs, to continue. Species extinctions have rocketed; ecosystems disap- pear; industrial and military waste spreads around the planet. Vulnerable humans and other forms of life bear the brunt of such violence—and sometimes stand in its way. There is a lot for anthropol- ogists to tackle in such challenges to livability. In this conference, we’ll take up three themes. First, beings other than humans make landscapes, and we turn to those “creatures of empire” (to use Virginia Anderson’s term) that wreck indigenous life-worlds along with humans. These include ani- mals and plants—but also nonliving things, including the waste products of urban life. What kinds of landscapes are made by such ambivalent allies and enemies of human well-being? Second, what species and ecosystems are destroyed in industrial and imperial conquest—and what possi- bilities are there for resistance, resilience, and survival?

This is a set of questions, too, in which biologists and anthropologists might look for common ground; the challenges of transdisciplinarity share center stage in discussing more-than-human vulnerabilities. We hope to tackle these creatively. Third, unintentional landscapes of the Anthropocene exist inside bodies as well as around them. To track the poisons of our times, attention to the links between inner and outer landscapes is essential. Poison is a key characteristic of the Anthropocene, and we need to understand its dynamics and its distribution.

III: Illegitimate hope: what more-than-human worlds are made amidst destruction? A puzzle to consider: What do anthropological collaborations with natural scientists, with activists, and with indigenous spokespeople have in common?

The Anthropocene ties new terrors to novel kinds of hope. Environmental change, global warming and the imminent prospect of mass extinction are pushing new modernist dreams of control, and the con- temporary moment is replete with designs for carbon trading, climate engineering, re-wilding, DNA banking, and escapes to Mars. Anthropology needs to pay attention to the ways in which the modernist project of human mastery and economic growth seeks to reinvent itself in the face of ecological apoca- lypse. But other formations of hope, different kinds of conviviality, exist beyond this “good Anthropo- cene.” The more-than-human worlds of indigenous communities around the world offer one kind of al- ternative. Critical environmental activism may hold the promise of another. And Western science itself, long the backbone of the imagined modern conquest of Nature, is currently being transfigured, as new insights within the natural sciences into the fundamentally symbiotic and an interdependent make-up of life question cherished oppositions and concepts of modernity. All of these alternatives, disparate as they may be, point to another Anthropocene: patchy spaces in which human worlds critically depend on the world of spirits, animals, ghosts, plants and other non-humans. In an Anthropocene that is funda- mentally unknown, uninvited, and unexpected, hope may also dwell. The third session of the symposi- um explores this more-than-human Anthropocene as an occasion to reinvent anthropology, as an invi- tation to transdisciplinary collaboration, and as a space for illegitimate hopes for co-species survival. How might anthropology reinvent itself to explore the magic of the more-than-human comparatively across the worlds of indigenous communities, activist groups, and science? What possibilities of trans- disciplinary collaboration exist when neither “the human” nor “Nature” is what we thought? What forms of radical hope for co-species survival exist in the critical zones of the Anthropocene?

18 Hunt Postdoctoral Fellows for 2017

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 de- velop their research for publication. In 2017, eight Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships were awarded.

Nicole L. Barger U. of California, Davis, CA "Developmental Origins of Human Specializations in Social Brain Structures"

Abstract: The importance of social and prosocial behavior is in- creasingly recognized in models of human cognitive and behavior- al evolution. Yet, whether humans exhibit specializations in brain structures processing social behavior remains largely unknown. This project addresses the evolution and development of two "social brain" structures. The amygdala modulates emotional be- havior and is necessary for proper social affiliative behavior and memory. The superior temporal cortex is integrated into social perception and language circuits. Like most brain regions, neu- rons in the superior temporal cortex are produced predominantly in fetal development. Alternatively, recent data indicate new neu- rons may be added in the primate amygdala, postnatally. My first proposed paper uses stereology and functional genomic analysis to show that new neurons are added in the human amygdala into the third decade of life, longer than in African apes. My second paper compares human and ape neuron numbers to determine whether they are increased in either frontal or temporal lobe language areas, hypothesizing greater increase in the superior temporal language cortex based on its additional social functions. My third paper characterizes evolutionary variation in neural progenitor cells and brain immune cells that regulate progenitor number in the frontal and temporal cortex of fetal humans, macaques, and rats.

Kari Ann Burris Chew U. of Arizona, Tucson, AZ "We Will Always Speak Chickasaw: Considering the Vitality and Efficacy of Chickasaw Language Reclamation"

Abstract: Seeking to understand what motivates Chickasaws- -across generations and geographic spaces--to engage in lan- guage reclamation, my research explores how: 1. young adults with established careers at the tribal language program have made language a life's pursuit; 2. adults residing outside of the Chickasaw Nation engage in language reclamation, and 3. the study of Chikashshanompa' in school has impacted youths' conceptualizations of their personal and social identities. To- gether, the perspectives of these groups comprise a case study of Chickasaw people's resilient efforts to ensure that Chikashshanompa' ilanompohόli bíyyi'ka'chi [we will always speak Chickasaw]. The stories of language learners and teachers reflected three key themes enabling the vitality and efficacy of Chickasaw language reclamation: 1. a raised critical Chickasaw consciousness, 2. the con- ception of Chikashshanompa' as cultural practice, and 3. the (re)valuing of language learners. During my fellowship I will complete two journal articles and one book chapter focused on the use of cultural meta- phor to present and interpret research findings, the implications of utilizing a culturally-grounded meth- odology to conduct ethical and meaningful research in Indigenous contexts, and what it means to enact Indigenous language education from a place of hope for sustaining language and cultural practice for generations to come.

Vivian Y. Choi St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN "Disaster Nationalism: Tsunami and Civil War in Sri Lanka"

Abstract: The Hunt Fellowship will support the revision and completion of my book manuscript, "Disaster Nationalism: Tsunami and Civil War in Sri Lanka." This ethnography examines the social, political, and technological intersections of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and the decades-long civil war in Sri Lanka. Giving particular attention to disaster and disaster management policies, state power, and national security the book traces how the devastation of the tsunami and the logics of disaster risk management that followed it offered a political opening for new technologies of state power and projects of nation-building in Sri Lanka; these projects and their respective processes are what I refer to as disaster nationalism. These new systems of disaster governance are undergirded by a logic that treats both natural disasters and acts of terrorism as seemingly inevitable events that need to be prepared for and managed ahead of time. In Sri Lanka, the war was not merely the social context in which the tsunami played out, but rather the tsunami engendered a certain way of managing uncontrollable events, including war and terrorism. Through ethnographic detail, I show how this logic was also used as a moral justification for increased militarism and securitization of areas of Sri Lanka, after the tsunami and after the war, in turn leading to a palpable lack of social and political change -- the enduring disaster of state-sponsored nationalism. A violent peace is not a contradiction in Sri Lanka; it is a lived reality. Given such complex histories of political violence and adversity, my manuscript paints an intimate portrait of how life persists under conditions of perpetual threat -- from either another natural disaster or outbreak of state-sanctioned and war- related violence.

Jacob H Culbertson Haverford College, Haverford, PA "Recombinant Indigeneities: Maori Environmental Design and the Architecture of Bicultural- ism"

Abstract: Recombinant Indigeneities traces a series of controversies around the use of Maori architectural images and concepts in urban public space in New Zealand. The main plotline follows the planning and construction of three infrastructure projects--the so-called "Maori elements"-- in the "pop-up" entertainment district along Auckland's wa- terfront for the 2011 Rugby World Cup. I show that these building pro- jects are pervaded by contentious disagreements among a wide variety of actors--architects, bureaucrats, and their publics, both Maori and not --around what counts as a Maori design or way of designing and who gets to decide. The larger premise of the book is that these contests and their logics articulate the wider, entangled politics of expertise, indi- geneity, and public participation that facilitates and limits the work of professional Maori environmental designers in building the city from their unique indigenous perspectives. The book is thus also an ethnog- raphy of New Zealand's burgeoning "post-settlement era," by which the government is racing to settle all outstanding treaty claims and work with Maori on an equitable, col- laborative basis, as opposed to the paradigm of grievances that has defined this relationship since the neoliberal reforms of the 1980s. Grounded in three years of fieldwork among professional archi- tects and traditional woodcarvers, the narrative rests on an ethnographic inversion: rather than treat- ing traditional Maori meeting houses as objects of anthropological insight, I take the spatial language and ceremonial performances of these buildings as an indigenous model of comparison that reconfig- ures relationships among people, landscapes, and buildings.

Christine Lee California State U., Los Angeles, CA "Leprosy, Footbinding, and Trauma in China And Mongolia: An Exploration of Ethnic and Gender Identities"

Abstract: A bioarchaeological analysis of 1025 individuals representing eight different archaeological sites was used to answer questions about the roles ethnicity and gender played in ancient China and Mongolia.

The first study examines the antiquity and prevalence of leprosy in East Asia, from the Mogou (2300-1800 BCE) and Taojiazhai (25 BCE-420 CE) archaeological sites on the northwestern frontier of China. The second study focuses on the possible reasons for the maintenance of footbinding among Chinese households for hundreds of years at the Xuecan site (206 BCE-1911 CE) in Henan Province, China. The third study examines the level and pattern of violence along the western frontier between nomadic pastoralists/ agriculturalists and European derived/Asian populations. The four archaeological sites sampled included Chandman (700-400 BCE), Nileke (500-221 BCE), Yanghai (475 BCE-220 CE) and Yingpan ((206 BCE-420 CE), from Uvs, Mongolia and Xinjiang, China.

Sam R. Nixon University College, London, UK "Communities, Economies, and Exchange Networks Along the Caravan Routes of Trans- Saharan Africa"

Abstract: Following the Islamic conquest of North Africa ca 7th century AD, camel-caravan trade across the Sahara escalated dramatically, focused around commerce in West African gold and slaves. The urban trading network this gave rise to played a fundamental role connecting the Mediterranean and sub-Saharan Africa in pre-modern times, but also provided a knowledge-base to enable early-modern European maritime exploration of sub-Saharan Africa and the wider southern hemisphere. This research project has conducted the most sustained analysis to date of pre-modern trans-Saharan networks, based on study of disparate historical and archaeological data across a wide range of primary and secondary sources, as well as unpublished archival material. It has also placed this historical phenomenon within wider debates concerning pre-modern exchange systems, urban networks, and cultural identity formation. The research will be published as a monograph by Thames & Hudson and entitled 'The Gold Route: Communities, Economies, And Exchange Networks Along The Caravan Routes Of Trans-Saharan Africa (ca 8th--15th Century AD)'. The book's main underlying message is de-centering historical understanding, including in relation to placing the European 'Voyages of Discovery' and European interaction with Africa in proper historical context. Through integrating West Africa into wider and constantly expanding dialogues concerning pre-modern 'world systems' -- alongside better-known long-distance networks such as the Silk Road or Indian Ocean maritime routes -- it also links trans-Saharan cultural systems into wider thinking about the making of the modern world. In the contemporary world of trans-Saharan migration to the Mediterranean and Europe, this also provides an essential understanding of deep-time historical processes behind this modern phenomenon.

Valentina Peveri Independent Scholar, San Giovanni, Italy "The Edible Gardens of Ethiopia: An Ethnographic Journey into Landscapes of Diversity and Hunger"

Abstract: Ensete ventricosum is a perennial plant - and indeed agricultural system - unique to Ethiopia. For centuries it has persisted through droughts and floods by storing water in its bulbous stalk, much like camels do in their humps. Moreover, in consideration of the strenuous labour that women perform in the processing, cooking, and selling of its products, enset can rightfully be described as a woman's crop. Yet enset is not widely known as a food plant outside of Ethiopia; as a result, this alternative and versatile (agri)cultural paradigm remains obscure internationally relative to the size of the populations that subsist on it. Also, enset is not a unique miracle plant. Low-intensity cultivation practices characteristic of enset mirror those for other minor crops, which typically engender self-generating, closed-loop systems with each plant and living self being part of a larger functional design. An experiment in plant ethnography, the monograph which I propose to complete will use the political ecology of enset agriculture as a strategic entry point into the investigation of the challenges and development potential of tuber/perennial/garden crops for a food-secure national landscape and as a trigger to the 'quiet revolution' of women farmers. In shifting the perspective of a traditionally 'hungry' nation from commodity to subsistence, from techno-science to indigenous knowledge, from fortified varieties to underutilized crop species, and ultimately from single crops to populated landscapes, this project illuminates a case of agroecological diversity-in-context and reads through the broader significance of edible landscapes based on polyculture.

Sahar Sadjadi Amherst College, Amherst, MA "Beautiful Children: Medicine and the Future of Transgender Identity"

Abstract: This book project is an ethnography of the clinical practices that have emerged around gender non-conforming and transgender children in the United States. It examines the convergence of the psychiatric category of Gender Identity Disorder in Children with a new category of personhood among children, the transgender child. It explores the development of new medical treatments such as puberty suppression for transgender children, their health consequences such as sterilization, and the humanitarian urge that guides these preemptive interventions. I demonstrate that understanding and treating children's gender troubles is currently shaped by the cultural and scientific appeal of innate and interior origins of identity and difference, and by imagining the child as the harbinger of authenticity of identity. I argue that the contemporary scientific conceptualizations of the "brain" as the location of "gender identity" should be understood in relation to the Western metaphysical conceptions of the body and the soul and the modern accounts of "the self" as interiority and psychic depth. This project is based on a 24-month multi-sited study of 1) the expert revision of the psychiatric category of Gender Identity Disorder of Childhood (GIDC) for the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (DSM 5) and 2) the diagnostic and treatment practices at two major pediatric gender clinics in the United States. I will complete this book manuscript, that is currently under contract with the University of California Press, during the Hunt Fellowship period.

22 Fejos Postdoctoral Fellows for 2017

Fejos Postdoctoral Fellowships in Ethnographic Film support the completion of an ethnographic film that is based on anthropological research already accomplished by the fellow inn the earlier stages of their careers, when they frequently lack the time and resources for film production. In 2017, five Fejos Fellowships in Ethnographic Film were awarded.

Robert O. Beahrs U. of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA "Tuning Voices, Taming Souls: Nomadic Sound Worlds of the Sayan-Altai Mountains"

Abstract: Tuning Voices, Taming Souls traces the voices of animals, spirits, and nature in the inherited cosmologies of Tyvan nomadic hunter-pastoralists living in the Sayan-Altai Mountains of Russia and Western Mongolia. Com- posed of six short stand-alone ethnographic films, the project explores the sounded spiritual genealogies of postcolonial nomadic world-making. Drawing on multiperspectival film techniques, soundscapes, and interviews, this project shows how Tyvan concepts such as music, play, emotion, and domestication are understood in relation to voices of ancestors and local spirit-masters. Moreover, the power of these voices is invoked and activated through sound- making rituals--coaxing, calling, throat-singing, musical instrument playing, shamanizing, and storytelling during everyday herding and hunting activities. A collaboration between an outsider (an American ethnomusicologist) and an insider (a Tyvan anthropologist), Tuning Voices, Taming Souls presents new perspectives on the postcolonial reverberations of nature, culture, and sound for nomadic communities living in one isolated corner of post-Soviet Inner Asia.

Jenny T. Choi Emory U., Atlanta, GA "These Days, These Homes: An Ethnographic Portrait Film"

Abstract: These Days, These Homes is an ethnographic portrait film of two Miao women, Wu and Qin, in Guizhou, China. Using an engaged observational approach, the film offers intimate, first -person perspectives on the massive social transformations and immense economic pressures facing rural women in China. Part one follows Wu through the small city of Kaili as she reflects on her life as a mother, a former migrant factory worker, a farmer, and now an informal street vendor selling soft tofu every after- noon. Wu's movements, from the village to the factory to the city, defy simplistic depictions of the "rural migrant laborer." Part two chronicles Qin, who has lived in three different homes in Upper Jidao since 2006 because of her work as the village clini- cian and now as the owner of a busy guesthouse and Miao cul- tural heritage center. Qin's ambitions for her tourism business and her ambivalent position in the village reveal the ongoing anxieties and potentials for a generation of self-driven rural ethnic minority women. Amplifying this eth- nographic portrait is the relationship between Wu, Qin, and the anthropologist-filmmaker who has rec- orded their lives over ten years. Thus, the film also illuminates the possibilities and ethics of engaged, longitudinal ethnography.

Martha-Cecilia Dietrich U. of Bern, Bern, Switzerland "An Audio-visual Analysis of Oral Histories and Storytelling in the Emerging Horror Film Industry of the Central Peruvian Highlands"

Abstract: "Horror in the Andes" is a documentary based on a two- year long investigation into the local horror film production in the Peruvian highlands and the films' rising popularity among local audiences. The film to be made during this fellowship follows three filmmakers Martin, Lucho and Carlitos and their adventurous journey whilst shooting a horror movie in the small town of Ayacucho. Like many other filmmakers in this region, they are descendants of indigenous Quechua people, who moved to the city of Ayacucho during the internal armed conflict (1980-2000). Their enthusiasm for filmmaking has drawn them together. They like to think of their films as "peliculas con valor social" (films with social value), because they address social issues traditionally considered taboo. The documentary aims to show how Andean horror films have become a catalyst for social critique. They address uncomfortable subjects with wit and creativity. The Spanish conquista, the power of the Catholic Church, social inequality, corruption and modern slavery are all subjects that have been dealt with in this way. Most significantly for this region, the films address the tangible effects of the most recent violence between insurgents, state forces and local communities during the armed conflict, which according to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hit the indigenous community of Ayacucho the hardest. "Horror in the Andes" explores the genre of horror films as both artistic practice and social critique. The film's narrative follows a horror film in the making and tells the deeply moving story of a friendship that is held together by a passion for filmmaking. The film will draw out key findings of my research and explore how violence continues to shape a society even long after the fighting has ceased.

Simone Mestroni Independent Scholar, Udine, Italy "After Prayers"

Abstract: After Prayers is a documentary about Kashmir's conflict narrated through life stories, about the way the dream of independence as well as the nightmare of violence are brought forward through the emotional life of common people. The traumatic memories of a young activist and of a victim of the first army crackdown in the valley will take us to the resistance practice of Kanijung, the ritual stone-pelting where local teenagers and Indian military forces fight each other after Friday's prayers. The story of a mujahideen in- volved in the early stages of guerrilla warfare and his dra- matic developments leads us deeply into the emotional scale of the separatist ideology. The voice of a mother who lost her son during recent riots evokes the importance of pain and resentment in the reproduction of the conflict into the family dimension and in the moral econo- my of Islam. The narrative flow of different stories aims to thematically reconnect around the structural role of martyrdom in the revolving of Kashmiri politics, along with the sublime and controversial utopia of independence, as well as the miseries of the conflict.

Vanessa Wijngaarden Independent Scholar, Nieuw-Vennep, The Netherlands "Meeting 'the Other' In Maasailand: How We See Them, How They See Us"

Abstract: Tourism is a fruitful space to interrogate the interplay between mental images of “the other” and interactions with this “other.” This study employs novel methodological tools to research the encounters between Tanzanian Maasai and Dutch tourists at a small cultural tourism project. Comparing the perspectives of hosts and guests, it makes visible the cross-culturally shared (re)construction processes behind persistent imagery of “others.” The variety of audiovisual data shows that these images are recreated despite contrasting experiences, the reflections of the research participants illuminating how this active process of reproduction takes place. Adding to the dialogical process of knowledge production employed in this study, is the filmmaker's return to the field with a camera, in order to share the data and analysis with the participants, to confront them with inconsistencies in their speech and behavior as well as with the surprise of how “the other” actually sees them. The resulting reflexive, double-sided, multi-layered documentary and the accompanying book challenge the dichotomies of “self” and “other,” ethnographer and informant, modern social science and lay or local knowledge. This multi-media publication unveils the specific details of images of “the other” as well as the cross-cultural parallels in their abstract structure. The reflections of the Dutch and Maasai participants on the filmed encounters inform theoretical insights in the dynamics between images and interactions, pointing to the central position of the reflexive agent. Reflexively incorporating anthropology as an encounter that produces an image of 'the other' as well, cumulates into a vision for a more symmetrical anthropology, which promotes a reflexive dialogue between people who consider each other “other.”

25 Wadsworth African and International Fellows for 2017

Alexander Kabelindde U. of Dar Es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania To aid training in archaeology at U. College London, supervised by Dr. Ignacio de la Torre

I joined the University of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) in October 2011 to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Archaeology. During my undergraduate years I received training in Palaeolithic Archaeology, Human Evolution and cog- nate courses. These courses gave me a greater understanding of lithic analysis and early humans’ biological and cultural evolution. Towards the end of my undergraduate studies, I completed a hands-on analysis of Oldowan and Acheulean assemblages excavated by Mary Leakey at Ol- duvai Gorge and wrote a dissertation on the transition from the Oldowan to the Acheulean.

My enthusiasm and commitment to human evolutionary research enabled me to secure a studentship to undertake a Postgraduate Diploma in Aca- demic Research and Methods at UCL Qatar in August 2014 followed by an MA in Archaeology of the Arab and Islamic World (2015-2017). During my Masters, I participated in various archaeological projects as a student, collaborator, volunteer and research assistant in Africa (Tanzania), Mid- dle East (Qatar), Central Asia (Kazakhstan) and Europe (UK). My participation enabled me to receive world-class research skills in conducting archaeological research projects. My newly learned skills were applied to an independent research project, written up as a Masters Dissertation in August 2017.

In my PhD study, I intend to focus on the technological behaviour of Homo erectus in Beds III and IV, Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania). I will conduct fieldwork (survey and excavation) and labwork (Leakey’s col- lection) to address the technological capacities of our ancestors during the late Early Pleistocene. My research will require the use of integrative methods to analyse lithic assemblages unearthed from Beds III/IV sites and those stored in the field laboratory at Olduvai Gorge. Although the goal is to better under- stand Homo erectus technological behaviour at Olduvai Gorge, my research will also increase our un- derstanding of the Leakey collections and provide new knowledge of Palaeolithic research in East Afri- ca. More importantly, the results of my study will provide a new understanding of Acheulean assemblag- es from Olduvai and Homo erectus behaviour.

Ehsan Lor Afshar U of Sistan and Baluchestan, Zahedan, To aid training in social cultural anthropology at Binghamton U., Binghamton, NY, supervised by Dr. Thomas Wilson

My journey in anthropology began in 1999 when I was accepted to the graduate program of anthropology in the University of Tehran. Since then, I have always been engaged with the field as student, academic, ethnographer, member of the Board of Directors of Iranian Society of Anthropology, and again student and adjunct in the United States. My Master’s thesis, which was focused on Iranian caravansaries, received the University’s Research Grant for its novel approach and scholarship. After earning my degree, I taught anthropology in Tehran and two other cities in Iran.

Between November 2005 and August 2012, I worked as an academic at the Department of Anthropology of Sistan and Baluchestan University in the southeast of Iran, at the country’s borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan. While there, I became interested in the question of continuity and change in Baluchestan: how has the Baluch society in this relatively arid and isolated area come to be what it is today? Besides teaching, I also conducted three long-term ethnographies on rural communities of Baluchestan.

In August 2012, I moved to the U.S. to attend the graduate program of anthropology at the New School for Social Research. I completed the Master’s program in May of 2014 and started teaching at Saint John’s University the following year.

In September of 2016, I entered the PhD program of anthropology at Binghamton University, the State University of New York, where I can work on my research project under the supervision of world-class experts in anthropology of borders, state, and globalization. I have envisioned a multidimensional entry to the question of change in Iran’s Baluchestan with particular attention to the vortex of three interrelated dynamics: international borders, state surveillance, and forces of globalization. I seek to contextualize the economic transformation of the Baluch society within the broader frameworks of nation-state and globalized world. The Baluch merchants, for instance, have to cope with the challenges posed by their group historical modes of adaptation and emerging forces of modern governmentality and market econ- omies. My study’s goal is to investigate the confluences and socio-political consequences arising from these challenges.

James Munene The National Museums of Kenya, Nairobi, Kenya To aid training in archaeology at U. of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, supervised by Dr. Brian Stewart

I was born and brought up in the eastern slopes of Mt. Kenya, Kenya, where I attended both primary and secondary school. I later joined Kenyatta University for a degree program in History and Kiswahili. This is where I met and fell in love with archaeology. I was surprised to learn that although archaeological research in East Africa has been going on for many decades now, there are just a handful of East Africans who have taken it up as a profession. Thousands of research papers have been published on diverse topics over the years but, it is a pity that so few of them have been published by or in collaboration with East Africans. These few Kenyan archaeologists are responsible for teaching at several universities simultaneously leaving them little time to carry out research. I chose to enter the field with a goal to bring about change.

After my undergraduate degree, I enrolled for a master’s degree in archaeology at Kenyatta University and used my time as a student to gather experience in archaeological field and laboratory methods by working in different research projects in Kenya and South Africa. I am particularly interested in lithic technology, subsistence patterns, environmental reconstruction and comparative studies of Later Stone Age sites. I have worked with collections from various sites in East Africa and Southern Africa. My master’s thesis was a comparative study of two Later Stone Age sites, one in Magadi Basin and another in Lake Turkana Basin. I am especially interested in comparative studies, lithic technology, environmental reconstruction and subsistence systems. I also have a great passion for heritage management.

My decision to seek training at the University of Michigan was a reflection on my experience as a master’s student in Kenya. I was fortunate to meet a number of archaeology students from different parts of the world over the last few years and learn about their experiences in Graduate School. I was inspired to seek admission in schools with well-established archaeology departments that would give me the kind of training I needed to build a professional career and help promote future generations of African archaeologists. I am grateful that the University of Michigan offered me this chance.

27 Wadsworth International Fellows, continued

Over the past five years, I have tried to get as much archaeological experience as possible to prepare myself for a career in archaeology. I attended field schools in both Kenya and South Africa, worked with various graduate students doing various projects in Kenya as well as participating in laboratory analysis. I have also worked in heritage management projects and on top of working on my Ph.D. in archaeology, I am enrolled in a Graduate Certificate Program in Museum Studies.

I am constantly thinking about ways of marketing anthropology in general and archaeology in particular as a discipline to East African students to increase scholarship and knowledge about the past. I am al- ways looking for opportunities to inspire and motivate African students and encourage established and upcoming Africanist archaeologists to help in the training of African students. I would like to see more Africans become engaged in anthropological research as professionals.

Dmitri Prieto Samsonov Instituto Cubano de Antropologia, Havana, Cuba To aid training in social cultural anthropology at U. College London, UK, supervised by Dr. Martin Holbraad

My research interests are focused on the political anthropology of radical social transformations, particularly in Eurasia and the Caribbean. As a person of Cuban-Russian ancestry, I have experienced the long-term, trans-oceanic effects of the Cuban revolution, the Soviet revolution, and Perestroika. I am particularly interested in how emancipatory revolutions produce unintended dynamics of social asymmetry (including class inequality) and structures of hierarchy, authoritarianism and domination. In my MSc dissertation (LSE, 2008) and a subsequent book about the socio-legal aspects of the anti-slavery revolution in Haiti (1791-1826), I coined the term “transdomination” for this sort of social process. I also auto- ethnographically investigated the (post)-Soviet diaspora in Cuba, a complex group of barely perceptible ethnicities, which emerged as an outcome of revolutionary policies and transatlantic migratory fluxes during the period of geopolitical alliance between Cuba and the USSR.

My current research topic is the ethnography of transdomination in post -insurrectional and post-Soviet Cuba (from1959 to the present). It encompasses the intersection of three areas of anthropological interest, the: (1) anthropology of revolutions, (2) anthropology of freedom, and (3) anthropology of historical consciousness. Additionally, issues related to geopolitics, 20th-century ideological and strategic models of State socialism and the modern capitalist world-system are relevant for analyzing post-1959 Cuba.

Such a proposal requires carrying out massive fieldwork –which is exactly the sort of inquiry that ethnographic approaches make possible -- and conceptualizing an innovative theoretical framework. I will need to collect ethnographic evidence pertinent for interpreting the complex social reality of present- day Cuba, and to put the resulting accounts in dialogue with life histories narrated by the witnesses and protagonists of the post-1959 revolutionary project. Anthropology is the academic discipline that makes such an integrative approach possible. I chose the University College London (UCL) because its Anthropology Department is deeply engaged with the ontological turn in the research of contemporary revolutions, which conceptualizes their social and cultural dynamics as radical cosmological changes. This kind of theoretical and investigative framework will be crucial for formulating an accurate scientific narrative of the process of transdomination in Cuba. UCL also has a tradition of expertise in both Latin- American and Eastern-European studies, which is an interesting combination for problematizing the issues of State socialism in contemporary Cuba.

My previous research has focused on social asymmetries and ethnography of the habitat in Old Havana and the Guanahacabibes peninsula (Cuba), history of the Cuban anthropology, work cultures of the Cu- ban emergent economic agents, history of the Cuban legal-constitutional identity, and administrative corruption in Cuba. I earned a Masters in Law, Anthropology and Society with Distinction at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and obtained a Graduate Diploma in from the University of Havana. My first degrees are a BSc in Biochemistry and an LLB at the same uni- versity. I am currently a member of the Research Workgroup “Anti-Capitalismos & Sociabilidades Emer- gentes” affiliated with the Latin-American Council for Social Sciences (CLACSO) and one of the coordi- nators of its Cuban chapter. I worked as an ethnographer at the Instituto Cubano de Antropologia, as a Constitutional Law specialist at the Centre for Law Research of the Cuban Ministry of Justice, and as a molecular biologist at the Centro de Ingenieria Genetica y Biotecnologia in Havana. I lectured in Social Theory, Anthropology, Constitutional Law, History of Cuba and History of Philosophy (inter alia) at the Santa Cruz del Norte Community College of the Universidad Agraria de La Habana. I am deeply com- mitted to the future of Cuba and the development of the anthropological sciences in my homeland. After the completion of my degree, I expect to return and work towards opening new fields of study for Socio- Cultural Anthropology, and to strengthen transdisciplinary research

Edmore Chitukutuku U. of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa To aid training in socio-cultural anthropology at U. of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, supervised by Dr. Kelly Gillespie. Supported by WAFs in 2013, 2014, and 2015 and for WAF Dissertation Write-Up in 2016.

My research interests are on peace and conflict focusing especially on military and state sponsored violence, youth and . Besides the Wenner-Gren Foundation’s Wadsworth African Fellowship (2013-17), I have received a number of awards and honors, including: the Vice Chancellor’s Book Prize for academic excellence (Great Zimbabwe University 2008), the Witwatersrand Postgraduate Merit Award 2011 and 2012, and the Justice Lucas Award for the best Honors research report in Anthropology at Witwatersrand (2011). I am a life member of the Golden Key International Honour Society.

I just completed my PhD studies and graduated from University of the Witwatersrand on 5 December 2017. My thesis is entitled Rebuilding Liberation War Militia Bases: Reproducing Memories of Political Violence in the Post-2000 Crisis in Zimbabwe. Being a Wadsworth Fellow enabled me to study fulltime and present my research at conferences and seminars throughout the world. Besides providing me with the opportunity to network I was able to attend proposal writing and methodology workshops, all activities that have been crucial to my development as a scholar. After submitting my thesis for examination, I taught an undergraduate course on the Anthropology of Violence as a Sessional Lecturer in the Anthropology department. I am currently teaching in the Anthropology department at Wits University as a sessional lecturer for the 2018 academic year as well.

My future plans include teaching fulltime at a university, as well as getting postdoctoral funding to write and publish articles based on my PhD work. In 2017 I published my first academic article in the Journal of East African Studies entitled: “Rebuilding the Liberation War Base: Materiality and Landscapes of Violence in Northern Zimbabwe.” I am working on another article to be published by the Journal of War and Culture Studies and am also writing a book proposal based on my PhD work.

I hope to go back to Zimbabwe in the near future to teach and engage in anthropological research. But at the moment most universities have stopped recruiting permanent staff due to financial constraints.

Albino Jopela, U. of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa To aid training in archaeology at U. of Witwatersrand, Johan- nesburg, South Africa, supervised by Dr. Benjamin Smith. Supported by WAFs in 2013, 2014, and 2015 and for WAF Dis- sertation Write-Up in 2016.

Upon submission of my Doctoral Thesis to the School of Geogra- phy, Archaeology and Environmental Studies at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa in May 2017, the univer- sity awarded me a short-term Doctoral Student Internship Grant. I used this fellowship to prepare a paper entitled "The Heritagiza- tion of the Liberation Struggle in Postcolonial Mozambique," which was presented at the International Conference "Challenges of Socioeconomic Research at Times of Crises" organized by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (IESE) in Maputo, Mozambique, September 19-21, 2017.

Since my return to the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology at the Eduardo Mondlane Universi- ty in Mozambique, I have been actively involved in the supervision of Bachelor with Honors Disserta- tions in the field of heritage studies and reviewing the academic syllabus for the Undergraduate Program in Archaeology and Heritage Management. Ongoing since September 2017, I continue to collaborate with the National Directorate for Cultural Heritage of Mozambique and the UNESCO Office in Maputo coordinating the revision and updating of a Conservation and Management Plan for the Island of Mozambique World Heritage Site (2018-2022).

In November 2017 I joined the African World Heritage Fund (Midrand, South Africa), an intergovernmen- tal organization created by the African Union in 2006 and endorsed by UNESCO as a Category II Centre in 2011, with the mandate to contribute to the effective conservation and management of cultural and natural heritage of outstanding universal value on the African continent. As a program specialist, my role is to aid in the implementation of the program on conservation and protection of African World Heritage Sites. I'm currently also serving as an adviser for World Heritage to the International Council of Monu- ments and Sites (ICOMOS), one of the Advisory Bodies to the World Heritage Convention adopted by UNESCO in 1972. I'm also an associate researcher at Kaleidoscopio - Research in Public Policy, a vi- brant institution based in Maputo that strives to bridge policy-making and everyday experiences through multidisciplinary, holistic and innovative research.

I plan to continue dedicating myself to research in topics related to heritage management (custodianship) systems and heritage sociopolitics (including liberation struggle heritage in southern Af- rica) while contributing, through my engagement with multiple stakeholders and institutions, to raising the profile of heritage conservation and protection in Africa.

Resto Cruz, Ateneo de Manila U., Quezon City, Philippines To aid training in social-cultural anthropology at U. of Edinburgh, Edinburgh UK, supervised by Dr. Janet Carsten. Supported by WIFs in 2012, 2013, and 2014 and for WAF Dissertation Write-Up in 2015.

I successfully defended my thesis (“Becoming Middle Class: Kinship, Personhood, and Social Mobility in the Central Philippines”) last June 2017. My examiners, Drs. Catherine Allerton (Associate Professor, London School of Economics) and Magnus Course (Senior Lecturer, University of Edinburgh) accepted my thesis with no corrections. I was officially conferred the PhD last 28 November. At present, I am revising chapters of my thesis into journal articles: one (on education as inheritance) is presently under review; another (on cousins and the intergenerational consequences of social mobility) is due to be completed soon; and still another (on care in a time of migration and upward mobility) is in an early form. I intend to publish an ethnographic monograph based on my PhD thesis.

After my viva, I have had the occasion to present my work in two workshops: “Educated People and Disciplined Bodies: Self-Governance(s) and Local Re-appropriations of Schooling,” at the University of St. Andrews last 21-22 September, and “Care in Asia: Beyond and Across a Clinic,” at the University of Copenhagen last 28-29 September.

In addition to working on publications, I am also applying to postdoctoral programs. I intend to build on my PhD research in three ways: one, developing my analysis of social mobility’s links with inequality; two, expanding my focus to include younger generations; and three, tracing connections and comparisons with the UK (principally through the relatives of my interlocutors who have immigrated to Britain). My long-term goal is to help develop a global anthropology of lived inequalities that is attentive to connections and disconnections across time and space.

Over the summer, I will be returning to the Philippines and to my field site to conduct follow up research. I also plan to present my work at local universities and explore potential collaboration with colleagues.

Ana Majkic U. of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia To aid training in archaeology at U. Bordeaux 1, Talence, France, supervised by Dr. Francesco D'Errico. Supported by WIFs in 2013, 2014, and 2015 and for WIF Dissertation Write-Up in 2016.

After completing my thesis I have continued to work on revising two papers for publication that have been ongoing during my dissertation research. One of these papers stems from an international collaborative project and focuses on a novel methodological approach to the analysis of a Middle Paleolithic engraved object, aimed at contributing to debates on the origins of symbolically mediated behavior. The final version will be submitted before the end of February 2018. The second paper, a book chapter, focuses on explaining and examining the concepts, criteria, and research possibilities surrounding debates on the emergence of modern cultures and symbolic behavior. I completed the draft of this manuscript the end of 2017 and also aim to submit the final, polished version by the end of February.

In addition to these publications, I have been given the opportunity to carry out one of my long-held research interests by participating in a collaborative interdisciplinary project aimed at expanding current understandings of cognitive and behavioral implications of the archaeological record. This project began during the early stages of my PhD research and I have been engaged in it ever since. My involvement in this project has been a source of immense joy and enthusiasm for me since it represents a research area and tackles questions I have been fascinated with since my undergraduate studies. My fascination has never waned and I intend to continue collaborating with the project as a volunteer. Since graduation in December 2017, I have decided to invest most of my time completing the above mentioned drafts. As I near completion of this work, I will begin to focus my attention on preparing applications for employment/research options in accordance with my academic and professional skills.

Ana Morales U. de Costa Rica, San Jose, Costa Rica To aid training in physical-biological anthropology at U. of Calgary, Calgary, Canada, supervised by Dr. Geoffrey McCafferty. Supported by WIFs in 2012, 2013, and 2014 and for WIF Dissertation Write-Up in 2016.

My research is the first study to successfully reconstruct human ancient mitochondrial genomes from ancient Central America and Mexico, and my dissertation documents the first genetic evidence of ancestry relationships among ancient inhabitants of Cholula, Greater Nicoya, and Casas Grandes. I completed my doctoral degree in September 2017 and have recently pub- lished three articles drawn from my dissertation, which has been nominated for a Distinguished Dissertation Award to the Canadian Association of Graduate Studies, an honor that could not have been possible without the sup- port of the Wadsworth International Fellowship.

Over the past months I have continued to be active in my field by organizing and participating in ses- sions at international conferences. I have recently been awarded a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Center for Evolution and Medicine (CEM) at Arizona State University. During the next two years, I will continue to evaluate pre- and post-contact genetic diversity in the indigenous population of Costa Rica as well as pathogen load, which aims to better understand the impact of infectious diseases through time in native groups and explore disease susceptibility of American indigenous people. Be- sides advancing my career and expertise, CEM’s international reputation as an innovative institution will provide the opportunity for me to learn from outstanding researchers in the field. Anne Stone’s experi- ence in the study of native groups’ ancient DNA and the evolution of pathogens and Jeffrey Jensen’s expertise in population genetics will allow me to better focus my research questions around pre- and post-contact evolution of infectious disease in Central America.

Eventually, I hope to return to Costa Rica, my home country, and I will be waiting for a good opportunity to do so.

58 Major Grant Program Statistics for 2017

The Foundation offers seven major grant programs. Its Dissertation Fieldwork Grants and Post Ph.D. Research Grants are given to individuals at various stages of career to carry out research projects.
