Summer 2020 VOLUME 14, ISSUE 7, 2020
Academic Year End Message from the Department Head, Dr. Alexia Bloch As we wrap up this academic year and look toward the next I am inspired by the resilience, resourcefulness and sense of community among faculty, students, & staff in the Department of Anthropology. Our year was defined by the familiar rhythm of academic rituals and annual professional events. The year began with a transition of Headship in the Department. November brought the joint CASCA-AAA meetings to our city for the first time and with these we had a chance to showcase Vancouver, UBC, and our Department. Early in the year we also bid farewell to Prof. Pokotylo as he retired from the University after 40 years. Now, as the year concludes, we say goodbye to three more colleagues who are retiring after decades of service, teaching, and research; Profs. Shaw, Barker, and Blake have been integral to UBC’s intellectual community. We look forward to marking our colleagues’ rites of passage and celebrating their contributions face-to-face, hopefully in spring 2021.
Just as the academic year was winding down our classroom learning, research, and broader intellectual pursuits were thrown into disarray. In mid-March with the onset of a global pandemic of Covid-19, UBC, like institutions of higher education across the world, turned to online teaching. This “pivot” in such a short time on the part of faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students was truly heroic. The university announced the switch on a Friday afternoon, and by the following Monday we had all moved into a new virtual reality. Faculty and students valiantly worked out ways to wrap up the remaining weeks of the term, even as many struggled with working from home. B.C. Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry’s no nonsense dictum, “Be kind, be calm, be safe” became an essential daily cadence.
Even as we became more adept with teaching, holding meetings, and celebrating our graduates on- line, we also came together to consider how the Department can meaningfully engage with the movement to decry police violence and systemic racism perpetrated against Blacks, Indigenous peoples, and other racialized groups across North America and beyond. As we look toward 2020-2021, we are committed to expanding departmental initiatives in teaching, research, and public scholarship to address questions of injustice and racialized inequalities.
We are fortunate to be joined in these endeavors by three new colleagues. Prof. Hugh Gusterson, a dedicated public intellectual with expertise in the culture of militarism and science and technology studies, comes to the Department from George Washington University. Prof. Tracey Heatherington joins us from the University of Wisconsin, bringing her deep knowledge of environmental anthropology and her wealth of expertise on the Mediterranean. And Dr. Amirpouyan Shiva, a recent graduate of the University of Minnesota, and an expert on the Persian blogosphere, takes up an appointment as a Lecturer.
Finally, I wish to congratulate students, staff, and faculty on all your accomplishments this past year. I wish you well as you recharge over the summer months, pursue research, or begin preparing for the coming academic year. Announcements
Awards, Grants and Recognitions
Congratulations!
It gives us great pleasure to announce that Dr. Andrew Martindale has been promoted to the rank of Full Professor (effective July 1). On behalf of the Department, we wish to congratulate Andrew for his well-deserved accomplishment. Being granted Full Professor is true recognition of Dr. Martindale's stellar scholarship, dedicated and rigorous teaching and graduate supervision, and tireless service to the Department, the University, and a number of Indigenous communities, especially the Musqueam and Kwantlen Indian Bands, and the Saik’uz First Nation.
On April 8, 2020, the Board of Trustees of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation awarded Fellowships to a diverse group of 175 scholars, artists, and writers. “Appointed on the basis of prior achievement and exceptional promise, the successful candidates were chosen from a group of almost 3,000 applicants in the Foundation’s ninety-sixth competition." It is a pleasure to announce that Dr. Shaylih Muehlmann was among those awarded a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation for 2020-2021.

First Ever Virtual graduation ceremony for the Anthropology Department (MAs, PhDs, BAs, Majors, and Honours)
The Anthropology Department is pleased to congratulate the Class of 2020 on its achievements. Despite an unprecedented pandemic, UBC students adapted quickly to the necessary educational changes required to ensure the safety of physical distancing and self-isolation while completing their studies.
The UBC Anthropology Department celebrated its first-ever virtual graduation ceremony Wednesday, June 17, 2020, in an effort to recognize graduates for their accomplishments. Over 165 Anthropology students, faculty, staff, parents, friends and family members joined from around the globe for the virtual graduation.
ANTH News From The Field
COVID-19 and my field research in the Rohingya Refugee Camps: Field notes from Cox’s Bazar. By Sultan Ahmed, Ph.D. Candidate I am doing my Ph.D. research on humanitarian aid agencies working in Cox’s Bazar, a district in southeastern Bangladesh which is now hosting one million Rohingya refugees. I started my fieldwork five months ago. I have been busy collecting data in Dhaka, Cox’s Bazar, and the Rohingya camps. The COVID-19 outbreak has put a sudden pause on my fieldwork in Cox’s Bazar, as I am now back in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, observing the field situation and interviewing
respondents via telephone, Skype or Zoom. Over the last 3 weeks, I have observed many changes in the aid work. One important change was that most aid agencies have reduced the number of aid workers and frequency of their visits to the camps. Aid workers now visit the camps mostly to deliver the most essential aid commodities such as food, fuels, medicine, etc. but for other camp- based intervention, they use local and Rohingya volunteers to do work for them in the camps. Overall, the coronavirus has greatly impacted the lives of aid workers and the Rohingya refugees in the camps.
Until today, no COVID-19 cases have been reported among the Rohingya refugees. This does not mean that the Rohingya refugees are not infected or affected by the pandemic. It simply means the circovirus testing facilities are still not available for the Rohingya. Even for the host population, this testing facility has only recently been established in the government hospital in Cox’s Bazar, about 25-40 km from the camps. Many health experts urged government and aid agencies to take immediate action to set up medical and isolation facilities for the Rohingya camps but this has yet to happen. I have seen both local and international media publishing alarming news and views on this. The World Health Organization (WHO) and UNHCR, the UN Refugee organization, have already conducted a situation assessment indicating the Rohingya refugees as a vulnerable group, and organizations have launched an appeal for immediate funding.
‘How are you?’ Maintaining wellness during a pandemic...
By Ezra Greene Sending a couple pics from life in Nunavut during the pandemic. My family and I are waiting the surge out from up North where luckily there are no confirmed cases so far. I’m working on writing my thesis and getting out on the land when the weather is nice.
Millie Creighton - - From Wisteria Growing to Dragon Boating Beyond simply providing leisure engagements, many interests and activities people pursue help inspire them in their work, relations, and other arenas. Some pursuits I engage in are wisteria growing and dragon boating. I have trained a purple wisteria along one complete side of my house, and used a cutting from it to grow another purple one across the reverse side of the house that meets and mingles with a white wisteria coming to greet it from the other side. The house was christened at one of the Fuji-kai (wisteria viewing gatherings), Millie-sensei no Fuji no i.e. (Prof. Millie's wisteria house). I include a photo from a previous year's blooming.

By Eleanore Asuncion - - Virtual Support It doesn’t matter where we are or what the situation is. Life goes on... and our work continues. Anth support staff meet regularly with the Head and discuss how we can assist you, including with virtual department meetings, trainings and workshops, and appointments.
