Thank you for coming and we look for- ward to your participation in this year’s conference. The response to this year’s theme, “Bays, Boundaries, and Borders” highlights both the breadth and relevance of applied social science in a globalized world where the solutions to many human problems transcend disciplinary boundaries and are not confined to state or regional borders.As human popula- tions continue to grow, human problems continue to increase. Applied Anthropology and other applied social and natural sciences are more relevant than ever, and this meeting should exemplify the creative ways in which we are addressing these problems. I invite you to take advantage of the sessions, workshops, videos, and events the program committee and Society’s office have assembled. And of course, we hope you all enjoy the city of Baltimore and its environs at the northern end of the Chesapeake Bay. This year’s program brings together applied social scientists working across a broad array of contemporary issues around the world. Our hope is to stimulate the exchange of experiences and lessons learned from these efforts, and reinforce our commitment to using our knowledge and skills to address human concerns, issues, and problems. The meeting brings together academics, practitioners, activists and advocates who have many years of experience or are just beginning their careers. Our goal has been to work to create a meeting that contributes to substantive exchanges about case studies that illustrate the challenges and impacts we face in the future as we continue to build a sustainable, relevant and vibrant discipline. The 2012 meeting will be enriched by the participation of conference co-sponsors that include the Society for Medical Anthropology, The Council on Nursing and Anthropology, the Society for Political Ecology, and the Washington Asso- ciation of Professional Anthropologists. You will see that there are a number of tours we have arranged to areas in Baltimore and neighboring Annapolis and Washington, DC. Downtown Baltimore is not that large, so there is ample opportunity to explore on your own, including Baltimore’s Inner Harbor with restaurants and historic vessels such as the USS Constitution, the Walters Art Museum, and the world famous Lexington Market. I am confident that you will enjoy this year’s conference and conference site in the city of Baltimore. Many people have been involved in helping with the various tasks necessary to make this year’s annual conference a reality. I am grateful for their collegiality, efforts, and support with the planning for this meeting over the past year. Please look over the list of people who have assisted with the program planning, and when you see any of them, let them know how much you are enjoying the conference and thank them for their efforts.

This article discusses: The definitions and the structure and functions of family; the different family types and relationships with kin; the ecocultural determinants of variations of family types, e.g, ecological features, means of subsistence, political and legal system, education and religion; changes in family in different cultures; the influence of modernization and globalization on family change throughout the world.

  • 1 Childhood Within Anthropology
    9781405125901_4_001.qxd 5/6/08 5:08 PM Page 17 1 CHILDHOOD WITHIN ANTHROPOLOGY Introduction Looking back on the ways that children and childhood have been ana- lyzed in anthropology inevitably reveals gaps, but it also shows that anthro- pologists have a long history of studying children. This chapter will give an overview of several schools of anthropological thinking that have considered children and used ideas about childhood to contribute to holistic understandings of culture. It will examine how anthropologists have studied children in the past and what insights these studies can bring to more recent analyses. Although not always explicit, ideas about children, childhood, and the processes by which a child becomes a fully socialized human being are embedded in much anthropological work and are central to understanding the nature of childhood in any given society. Work on child-rearing has also illuminated many aspects of children’s lives and is vital to understanding children themselves and their wider social relationships. Having discussed these, this chapter will then turn to newer studies of childhood, based around child-centered, or child-focused, anthropology with the assumption that children themselves are the best informants about their own lives. This has been presented as a radical break with the ways that anthropologists have studied children previously, when, as Helen Schwartzman has argued, anthropologists “used children as a population of ‘others’ to facilitate the investigation of a range of topics, from developing racial typologies to investigat[ing] acculturation, but they have rarely been perceived as a legitimate topic of research in their own right” (2001:15, emphasis in original).

The Self: A Transpersonal Neuroanthropological Account Charles D. Laughlin Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario, Canada The anthropology of the self has gained momentum recently and has produced a significant body of research relevant to interdisciplinary transpersonal studies. The notion of self has broadened from the narrow focus on cultural and linguistic labels for self-related terms, such as person, ego, identity, soul, and so forth, to a realization that the self is a vast system that mediates all the aspects of personality. This shift in emphasis has brought anthropological notions of the self into closer accord with what is known about how the brain mediates self-as-psyche.

We find that the duration of colonial rule is correlated with a dramatic shift in gender roles in Africa by increasing the relative status of men in lineage and inheritance systems but also reducing polygyny as a marriage system. A causal role for the duration of colonial rule is confirmed by a difference-in-difference analysis that uses never-colonized ethnic groups as a control group and by an analysis of changes in kinship terminology that tests for within-group changes in descent and inheritance rules.

But culture is not only about what we see on the outside; it also includes what's inside— our thoughts and feelings. CHAPTER 2 Culture THIS CHAPTER focuses on the concept of “culture,” which refers to a society’s CHAPTER OVERVIEW entire way of life. Notice that the root of the word “culture” is the same as that of the word “cultivate,” suggesting that people living together actually “grow” their way of life over time. It’s late on a Tuesday night, but Fang Lin gazes intently at her computer screen. Dong, who is married to Fang, walks up behind her chair. “I’m trying to finish organizing our investments,” Fang explains, speaking in Chinese. “I didn’t realize that we could do all this online in our own language,” Jae says, reading the screen. “That’s great. I like that a lot.” Fang and Dong are not alone in feeling this way. Back in 1990, executives of Charles Schwab & Co., a large investment brokerage corporation, gathered in a conference room at the company’s headquarters in San Francisco to discuss ways they could expand their business. They came up with the idea that the company would profit by giving greater attention to the increasing cultural diversity of the United States.

  • Bio-Essentialism in the Study of Kinship
    AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGIST RESEARCH ARTICLE Kinship Past, Kinship Present: Bio-Essentialism in the Study of Kinship Robert A. Wilson ABSTRACT In this article, I reconsider bio-essentialism in the study of kinship, centering on David Schneider’s influential critique that concluded that kinship was “a non-subject” (1972:51). Schneider’s critique is often taken to have shown the limitations of and problems with past views of kinship based on biology, genealogy, and reproduction, a critique that subsequently led those reworking kinship as relatedness in the new kinship studies to view their enterprise as divorced from such bio-essentialist studies. Beginning with an alternative narrative connecting kinship past and present and concluding by introducing a novel way of thinking about kinship, I have three constituent aims in this research article: (1) to reconceptualize the relationship between kinship past and kinship present; (2) to reevaluate Schneider’s critique of bio-essentialism and what this implies for the contemporary study of kinship; and (3) subsequently to redirect theoretical discussion of what kinship is. This concluding discussion introduces a general view, the homeostatic property cluster (HPC) view of kinds, into anthropology, providing a theoretical framework that facilitates realization of the often-touted desideratum of the integration of biological and social features of kinship. [bio-essentialism, kinship studies, homeostatic property cluster kinds, Schneider, genealogy] ABSTRAIT Cet article reconsidere` le bio-essentialisme dans l’etude´ de la parente,´ en mettant l’accent sur la cri- tique influente de David Schneider soutenant que la parente´ est un «non-sujet» (1972:51).

Additions and changes to the original content are the responsibility of the instructor. Cultural Diversity and Conformity Case Study: Body Ritual Among the Nacirema Ceremonies and rituals are an important part of any culture. In the 1950s, Horace Miner examined some of the rituals of the Nacirema culture. His description of the culture included a portrait of an average Nacirema and his or her daily body ritual. Although the language Miner used made the culture seem exotic and strange, the description was a truthful representation of the American (Nacirema spelled backwards) morning ritual.

Cultural Diversity and Conformity Section 1 at a Glance The Meaning of Culture • Culture is made up of the material and nonmaterial products of human groups. • A society is a group of interdependent people who share a common culture and feeling of unity. Society differs from culture in that societies are made up of people and cultures are made up of products. • All cultures share certain elements: technology, symbols, language, values, and norms.
