2 Chairman’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

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

2016 was a special year for the Wenner-Gren Foundation—our 75th anniversary. The anniversary pro- vided a welcome opportunity to reflect on the Foundation’s significance to the growth and development of Anthropology and also to give serious thought to its future role in support for the field. One of the most rewarding anniversary initiatives for me was the publication of the official history of the Wenner- Gren Foundation as a special open-access issue of the Foundation’s journal, Current Anthropology. Throughout the research for this issue we discovered interesting new facts and stories about the Foun- dation and the people associated with it, were forced to reject some Foundation legends as no more than myths, and came away with a better understanding of its fortuitous establishment and not always smooth road to the present day. The history makes interesting reading for all Anthropologists.

The second major anniversary initiative was the establishment of SAPIENS, the Foundation-sponsored online news magazine for Anthropology. The public profile of Anthropology could be better, and SAPENS is designed to meet this challenge and popularize the field to a wider lay audience. SAPIENS was launched in January 2016 and we are thrilled that in its first year it has been accessed over one million times and individual articles have been syndicated by major established publications, mentioned in the popular press, and received awards for excellent public engagement. Much of this success is down to the efforts of Chip Colwell (Editor-in-Chief) and his dedicated editorial team. They are doing a wonderful job.

Other anniversary initiatives include the Innovations in the Public Awareness of Anthropology grant, launched as a temporary program for the anniversary year, and the Fejos Postdoctoral Fellowship in Ethnographic Film, established to honor the Foundation’s first Director of Research and pioneer ethno- graphic film maker, Paul Fejos. The Foundation also held an anniversary Board of Trustees meeting in Sintra, Portugal (May 2016) and an anniversary reception at the 115th annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association in November 2016. These and other Foundation events are discussed more fully in the report that follows.

Together with the anniversary events, we continued with our regular funding and symposium programs. Two Wenner-Gren Symposia were held in Sintra, Portugal, one on “The Colonization of Asia: Interdisci- plinary Studies and Re-evaluation of the Late Pleistocene Evolutionary Record,” and the second on “The Anthropology of Corruption.” Both were great successes.

4 President’s Report, continued

Across our funding programs the Foundation received 1525 applications and funded 241 projects, with a grant expenditure of over $4,700,000. Our largest funding programs continue to be the Dissertation Fieldwork grant with 116 grantees and the Post-Ph.D. Research Grant with 41 grantees. I would like to congratulate all of our grantees, and particularly our Hunt and Fejos Postdoctoral Fellows, our Wadsworth Fellows, and our Wadsworth Fellows who have completed their doctorates in 2016. These programs are for early-career scholars, and we wish our Fellows success in their new roles as profes- sional anthropologists.

2016 was a busy and rewarding year and was particularly significant to me because it is my last full year at Wenner-Gren. I retire in June 2017 after twelve enjoyable and fulfilling years at the Foundation. This is my last Annual Report and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire Wenner-Gren com- munity -- the staff, the Board of Trustees, the Advisory Council, and our reviewers -- for the support I have received. It has been a pleasure to work with you. The new Wenner-Gren President, Danilyn Rutherford, will take up her position at the beginning of July. I wish her success and know that the Foun- dation will be in good hands as it moves forward.

Leslie C. Aiello President (2005-2017) Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, Inc.

5 Program Highlights for 2016

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, was launched on January 28, 2016. First year highlights include: 1) a total of 154 articles published in 2016; 2) 37,578 Facebook followers, 5,268 Twitter followers, and 4,518 subscribers; 3) over one million reads by SAPIENS’ first anniversary; 4) twenty-two partnerships with other publications; and 5) public recognition of the excellence of SAPIENS articles as exemplified by the for American ’s Gene Stuart Award for Excellence in the public understanding of archaeology, for Elizabeth Svoboda’s piece, “The Darkest Truths” (http:// www.sapiens.org/archaeology/the-darkest-truths/) as well as Medium’s inclusion of “A Flower and A Way of Life in Peril” by Brendan Borrell (http:// www.sapiens.org/culture/a-flower-and-a-way-of-life-in-peril/) among its Best Plant Stories of 2016 listing.

SAPIENS continues to grow and develop with important new initiatives such as a collaboration with Aeon.co on creation of video content and the introduction of elective publication under a Creative Commons license to facilitate broader dissemination of SAPIENS content.

Dr. Colwell and his team are to be congratulated for bringing SAPIENS so far in its first year. Their enthusiasm, dedication, and creativity are warmly appreciated by the Foundation.

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. Two new IDGs were awarded in 2016 (for the period 2017-2021).

2016 IDG Recipient: College of & Studies, Royal University of Bhutan

There exists a critical gap in anthropological knowledge of Bhutan and the practice of anthropology in Bhutan. At present, no doctoral program exists in the country. Hence, research based on in-depth long-term ethnographic fieldwork, the hallmark of a Ph.D. in anthropology, is also lacking. This has implications for the understanding of changing dynamics of cultural, social, political-economic, and environmental aspects of a nation that has only recently opened itself to the outside world. Given that there are no professional avenues for practicing anthropology in the country, such an initiative is urgent.

6 Program Highlights for 2016

The College of Language and Culture Studies, Royal University of Bhutan, is the only college in Bhutan with dedicated departments for the study of culture, language and religion, and thus, is best placed to develop and sustain a Ph.D. in Anthropology. With a strong foundation for the study of culture in place, it hopes to develop for the first time in the history of the country, a doctoral program with a long-term vision of becoming a national, regional and international institute of academic excellence in the Anthropology of the Himalayas, Bhutan and Gross National Happiness (GNH). The doctoral program centers on four pillars of GNH and their respective sub-fields in anthropology: anthropology of the Himalayas and Bhutan, anthropology of development, environmental anthropology, and political anthropology. It will do so through key activities over a 5-year period, centered on knowledge, networking, capacity strengthening, approval/validation and piloting, and in formal collaboration with renowned anthropologists specializing in the region from UCLA.

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

The IDG is situated within the context of broader structural reforms within the University Ch. A. Diop of Dakar (UCAD) and Institut Fondamental d'Afrique Noire (IFAN). It seeks to expand and foreground anthropology in Senegalese academic curricula and capacitate the next generation of anthropologists via renewed methodologies and theoretical thinking. It will strive to decolonize the field and re-root it within the newly created doctoral schools and, through enhanced collaboration with other departments of anthropology, museums and research institutes around the world.

IDG funding will permit us to develop and update curricula in archaeology and and rebuild those in and bioanthropology that are almost extinguished. It is designed to create a dynamic, cohesive environment that articulates research and teaching, to develop new curricula and field training that enhance master and doctoral students experiences to better prepare them for the modern work environment that is rapidly expanding with new universities, museums and, heritage projects, etc. Through interdisciplinary conversations both within and beyond anthropology, it will refashion traditional disciplinary boundaries and redefine the relationships between the university and Senegalese communities. It will design new methodologies inspired by community-based participatory approaches to identify research questions that are relevant and meaningful to local communities. It will help us break with the traditional power driven approach of "us" and "them" which has enduring negative legacies on the development of anthropology.

2015 IDG Recipient—Royal Thimphu College, Bhutan

The 2015 Institutional Development Grant (term 2016- 2021) awarded for the development of a doctoral program in anthropology at Royal Thimphu College, Royal University of Bhutan, Thimphu, Bhutan, was withdrawn in August 2016 because the institution was unable to comply with the grant requirements.

Progress Reports from IDG Recipients

2014 IDG Recipients: Baltic-region Universities Joint Doctoral Program Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania

A staff member visited with the University of Southern Illinois to discuss collaborations and teaching methods and receive peer review on the program accreditation. The doctoral program curriculum was then finalized by each partner institution and submitted for informal reviews by local administration bodies (including the Ministry of Education and Science in Latvia and Estonia, and the Council of Science in Lithuania), and the program itself was formally announced to the anthropological community during the EASA meeting in Milan and inquiries have been encouraging.

Activities focused on teaching at the doctoral level and experience gained through establishing joint programs, which allowed for the evaluation the program as well as addressing practical issues of managing a joint PhD program in the EU. A round table with local policy-makers was staged and further funding opportunities discussed. Face-to-face collaboration with the official science policy bodies has allowed them to adopt an improved strategy to push the program through and negotiate the obstacles that they have faced. One of the greatest opportunities for 2017 is the opening of the new EU Structural Fund line. In Latvia, the priority in funding is given to joint international programs. With a program ready for implementation they are in an advantageous position for receiving additional funds to cover salaried positions in program administration not allowed under IDG funding.

2013 IDG Recipient: Universite d'Etat d' Haiti, Port-Au-Prince, Haiti

The Institutional Development Grant (term 2014-2019) awarded to the Universite d'Etat d' Haiti has also run into difficulties. They had deferred payment of the third year of their grant due to political turmoil that has disrupted classes and interfered with their development plans. Foundation management and program administrators are working with UEH staff and their program advisors to help this program get back on track. A decision whether to resume funding will be made in Fall 2017.

2012 IDG Recipient: Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

In 2016 Ethiopia faced serious challenges stemming from political instability. In October the government declared a state of emergency which caused a delay in registration during the first semester of the academic year at Addis Ababa University. The US and several European countries issued travel warnings for Ethiopia that made scheduling the yearly visits of professors from partner universities more onerous..

Progress Reports from IDG Recipients

2016 marked the 25th Anniversary of the MA program in Anthropology at AAU. They combined their an- nual PhD workshop with the anniversary and PhD students and recent graduates presented their pro- jects and received valuable feedback from international partners, colleagues from other departments and university officials. The plan to send two students to for library research was cancelled due to the state of emergency although eight professors were able to conduct weeklong visits to their stu- dents’ field sites and provide onsite advice, and the partners in Frankfurt were able to supply key refer- ence books to the program.

2011 IDG Recipient: Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam

This is the fifth and final year of funding for the doctoral program in anthropology at Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam. They have requested and received a six month, no cost extension to expend unused funds and complete the publication of an introductory textbook to an- thropology. To date eleven PhD students have enrolled in the doctoral program. This was the third year Prof. Luong Van Hy’s and Assoc. Prof. Nguyen Van Suu’s team taught the core course on “Advanced Issues in Anthropology Re- search.” This year’s enrolment included a diverse group of postgraduate students, including eleven MA students and four PhD students of the Department of Anthropology, and seven postgraduates from other institutions.

The program takes great pride in Anthropology in Vietnam, a 456-page publication resulting from its 2015 conference “Anthropology in Vietnam: History, Present and Prospect”. This book has been well received and is widely used for teaching and research in departments and research institutions of an- thropology and cultural studies. In December the program sponsored an international conference on “Cultural Resources for Sustainable Development: Theories, Practices and Policy Solutions” with re- searchers and policy makers from Vietnam, Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Japan, Taiwan, and the United States.

2010 IDG Recipient: University of the Philippines, Quezon, Philippines

The Archaeological Studies Program’s (ASP) Institutional Development Grant was completed in 2015 and the facul- ty and students are pleased to report that he strategy of investing in laboratories and student training and research was successful in establishing a PhD program. Thanks to IDG support, the UP ASP now has thirteen PhD students and is currently developing a proposal to upgrade the fa- cility with the University of the Philippines system.

Our experience facilitating annual scientific workshops with students from other Southeast Asian universities has been the impetus for developing a regional program. UP ASP is now spearheading the formation of the Southeast Asia Archaeological Mobility Program. The SEAAMP is envisioned to be the leading formation that will facilitate Faculty and Student Mobility among the consortium member universities

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 2016.

“Human Colonization of Asia in the Late Pleistocene” March 11-17, 2016 Tivoli Palacio de Seteais, Sintra, Portugal

Organized by Christopher Bae (U. Hawaii at Manoa), Michael Petraglia (Oxford U.), and Katerina Douka (Oxford U.)

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

“The Anthropology of Corrumption” September 9-15, 2016 Tivoli Palacio de Seteais, Sintra, Portugal

Organized by Sarah Muir (Barnard College) and Akhil Gupta (UCLA).

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

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. In 2016, the following supplementary issue from Wenner-Gren Symposium #150, “Integrating Anthropology: Niche Construction, Cultural Institutions, and History” as published.

In addition, a commemorative issue of Current Anthropology celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the foundation was published featuring “Patrons of the Human Experience: A History of the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, 1941-2016,’ by Susan Lindee and Joanna Radin, as well as “Vision and Reality: Axel Wenner-Gren, Paul Fejos, and the Origins of the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research,” by Ilja A. Luciak.

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

“Reintegrating Anthropology: From Inside Out” Guest Editors: Agustin Fuentes (University of Notre Dame) and Polly Wiessner (University of Utah)

Current Anthropology 2016, vol.57, S13.

Symposium #150 was held October 16-22, 2014 at Tivoli Palacio de Seteais Hotel, Sintra, Portugal

“The Wenner-Gren Foundation: Supporting Anthropology for 75 Years, 1941–2016” Guest Editors: Leslie C. Aiello, Laurie Obbink, and Mark Mahoney (Wenner-Gren)

Current Anthropology 2016, vol.57, S14.

Starting with “Working Memory: Beyond Language and Symbolism (Vol. 51, S1, June 2010),” all supplementary symposia issues of Current Anthropology are published online with “open access,” meaning anyone can download these articles. “Open access” epitomizes the Wenner-Gren mission to promote anthropology, by providing the freshest research from all branches of the discipline, to individuals and organizations lacking the resources to maintain subscriptions. And it is a matter of considerable pride that Current Anthropology was the first mainstream anthropology journal to make a significant amount of content available, online and free-of-charge.

11 Program Highlights, continued Historical Archives Program

Eight Historical Archives Program grants were awarded in 2016 to support archiving the personal research materials of the following anthropologists:

S. Ann Dunham (1942-1995) was an American anthropologist who specialized in and rural development. She was also the mother of Barack Obama. Dunham’s research focused on women's work on Java and blacksmithing in Indonesia. To address the problem of poverty in rural villages, she created microcredit programs while working as a consultant for USAID. Dunham was also employed by the Ford Foundation in Jakarta and she consulted with the Asian Development Bank in Gujranwala, Pakistan. Towards the latter part of her life, she worked with Bank Rakyat Indonesia, where she helped apply her research to the largest microfinance program in the world. After her son was elected President, interest renewed in Dunham's work and the National Anthropological Archives in Suitland, Maryland, was chosen to serve as repository for the unpublished materials resulting from her research. (Portions excerpted from Wikipedia.)

Diane Gifford-Gonzalez (Santa Cruz, CA) is professor of anthropology at the University of California at Santa Cruz, current President of the Society for American Archaeology, and a past member of the Wenner-Gren Advisory Council. She specializes in , African and western North American archaeology, pastoralists, gender in archaeology and interpretive theory in archaeology. She has conducted fieldwork in Kenya, Tanzania, the Netherlands and the western United States in support of her ongoing research, which includes pastoralism in Niger and Kenya. HAP funding for Gifford- Gonzalez’s archival project is intended as a pilot study for archiving research material that was “born digital” with the Digital Archaeological Record (tDAR) at Arizona State University in Tempe.

Edward C. Green (Washington, DC) is an applied medical anthropologist and research consultant focusing principally on the distribution and prevention of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases, whose field research spanned , Asia, , the Middle East, and South America and his career as an applied medical anthropologist and research consultant . He was Director of the Harvard AIDS Prevention Project, later affiliated with the Department of Population and Reproductive Health at The Johns Hopkins University (2011– 14) and the George Washington University as Research Professor (2015- present). He was appointed to serve as a member of the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (2003–2007), served on the Office of AIDS Research Advisory Council for the National Institutes of Health (2003–2006). HAP funding helped prepare his personal research materials for archival deposit with the National Anthropological Archives, Suitland, Maryland.

Paul Oliver (Oxford, UK) while not an anthropologist by training, is an art historian whose studies on architecture all have a strong anthropological emphasis. His major works aim to understand the intricate relationship of architectural traditions to the and that they form part of, and have been influential in work conducted by contemporary anthropologists studying architecture. HAP funding was provided to assist preparation of Oliver’s extensive collection of fieldnotes, correspondence and unpublished manuscripts for archival deposit with the library at Oxford Brooks University.

Historical Archives Program, continued

Evelyn Rattray (Fredrick, MD) is an archaeologist whose career in Mesoamerican archaeology spanned 55 year and includes important research from excavations she directed in Highland Mexico spanning the sites of Teotihuacan, Tepexi Rodriguez, and Pueblo Perdido, as well as material from the Mayan site of Copan, Honduras. In addition to many books and articles, and as faculty and a researcher at the Universidad Nacional Autómonma de Mexico (UNAM), Dr. Rattray organized important symposia on trade and exchange across Mesoamerica, and published the most exhaustive and authoritative work on Teotihuacan ceramics to date. Her field experiences and role as a prominent, pioneering female archaeologist is an equally important contribution from a time when women archaeologists were breaking historical ground in Mexican archaeology. HAP support allowed the Rattray Collection to be deposited with the Peabody Museum at Harvard University.

Donna C. Roper (1947-2015) was a prolific archaeologist who became an authority on Native peoples and archaeology in the central Plains. She directed projects in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, and many other states. In the 1970s she held research positions with the University of Missouri’s American Archaeology Division and the Illinois State Museum. In 1980 she joined Gilbert/Commonwealth Inc. of Jackson, Michigan as Senior Archaeologist and Project Manager, becoming a partner with Commonwealth Cultural Resources Group in 1988. Later she served as a Research Associate Professor with Kansas State’s Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work while also working as an independent researcher and consultant. She later became an adjunct research associate with the Archaeological Research Center at the University of Kansas. In 2015 she was presented with the Distinguished Service Award by the Plains Anthropological Society and the W. Duncan Strong Memorial Award of the Nebraska Association of Professional Archaeologists. The Dr. Roper’s personal research materials will be archived with the University Archives at Kansas State University.

Dame Ann Marilyn Strathern, DBE (Cambridge, UK) is a British anthropologist, who has worked largely with the natives of Papua New Guinea and dealt with issues of reproductive technologies in the UK. Strathern has spent much time among the Hagen of Papua New Guinea. From this basis she developed one of the main themes occurring across her work, that the world is socially constructed multiple realities which exist interdependently with one another. She has pushed the boundaries of thought on such topics as reproductive technology, intellectual property, and gender in both Melanesia and the United Kingdom. HAP funding was provided to archive Strathern’s photographic collection resulting from her work in Papua New Guinea with the University Archives at Cambridge. (Portions excerpted from Wikipedia).

Michiko Takaki (1929-2014) was an Associate Professor at University of Massachusetts - Boston, as well as a curator for Southeast Asian artifacts at the American Museum of Natrual History. She was also a graduate student of renowned anthropologist Hal Conklin, who served as her advisor while conducting a remarkable four-year study of the Kalinga in Northern Luzon (Philippines) for her doctoral dissertation. HAP funding helped archive the extensive unpublished research materials resulting from this field work with the National Anthropological Archives.

13 Wenner-Gren Symposia Reports

“Human Colonization of Asia in the Late Pleistocene” March 18-24, 2016, Tivoli Palacio de Seteais, Sintra Portugal Organizers: Christopher J. Bae (U. Hawaii at Manoa), Michael Petraglia (Oxford U.), and Katerina Douka (Oxford U.)

Organizers’ Statement

The identification of Neanderthals and Den- isovans, along with growing fossil and ar- chaeological evidence for the presence of modern in Asia earlier than originally thought, places the spotlight on the last 125,000 years. Exciting and new evidence in Asia is just beginning to rival in importance the better known paleoanthropological rec- ords of Europe and Africa. Hence, there is a need to critically examine, synthesize, and debate the Asian record from a multidiscipli- nary perspective, thereby contributing to hu- man evolutionary studies in general.

The purpose of this symposium is to bring Front: Adam Powell, Chris Bae (org.), Martin Sikora, Michael together a group of scholars who are investi- Petraglia (org.), Patrick Roberts, Katerina Harvati, Fabrice Demeter gating the evolutionary history of Asia from Middle: Sue O’Connor, Kelly Graf, María Martinón-Torres, Knut Bretzke, Yuichi Nakazawa, Leslie Aiello Back: Robin Dennell, Max different disciplinary perspectives.

In addition, leading spe- cialists who are intimately familiar with the records of different parts of Asia are invited, thus ensur- ing the group is aware of the latest findings and allowing for a richer inter-regional comparison of human occupation history. The overall objective is to develop a deeper appreciation about the tim- ing and nature of the spread of humans across Asia during the Late Pleistocene, placing particular emphasis on single or multiple waves of expansion. This is especially important in terms of under- standing the potential interactions of various coeval hominin taxa who inhabited various sub-regions of Asia.

There are at least five broad ranging questions that we will focus on, discuss, and debate:

 What are the implications for an earlier dispersal of modern humans out of Africa and into Asia, and what role, if any, did behavioral innovations play in facilitating these dispersals  What happened when modern humans colonized new territories, e.g., did it lead to interbreeding among popu- lations? Competitive exclusion followed by extinction?  What do modern and ancient DNA studies suggest regarding the timing and route modern humans took out of Africa and into Asia? Do the hominin paleontological and archaeological studies support these models?  What is the importance/implication of a more eastward expansion of Neanderthals into Central Asia, and what shall we make of the recent Denisovan findings?  How do recent multidisciplinary findings force researchers to rethink the human evolutionary record of Asia and beyond? It is time to re-examine the Late Pleistocene human evolutionary record of Asia. We anticipate that bringing together a diverse group of researchers will move the field forward and lead to new insights and set the tone for future research.

“The Anthropology of Corruption” September 9-15, 2016, Tivoli Palacio de Seteais Hotel, Sintra, Portugal Organizers: Sarah Muir (Columbia U.) and Akhil Gupta (UCLA)

Organizers’ Statement Over the past several decades, cor- ruption has become an object of in- tense popular concern in otherwise disparate locations around the world. Over the same period, corruption has elicited a robust body of scholarship in disciplines such as political science, economics, and sociology. Meanwhile, anthropologists—wary of reproducing clichéd images of political dysfunc- tion—have often approached the topic with reserve. Recently, however, a corpus of anthropological literature on corruption has begun to coalesce. Ex- amining a variety of illegitimate, illegal, or otherwise irregular political and eco- nomic practices, as well as critical discourses about those practices, this Front: Smoki Musaraj, Sarah Muir, Anu Sharma, Diana Bocarejo, Laurie literature has developed a properly Obbink, Fátima Pinto.

It is an opportune time to take stock of the emergent anthropology of corruption because this literature has now reached critical mass. This symposium will gather together pioneering scholars working on cor- ruption from a wide range of perspectives. The meeting will be aimed both at a stock-taking of where the anthropology of corruption has reached and, more importantly, as a place from which to generate new ideas for future research. The challenges are substantive, methodological, and normative. Participants will offer analyses grounded in research in varying places such as Europe, China, South Asia, Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. Our aim is to move across an array of theoretical and regional concerns to chart a set of problematics that will animate anthropological studies of corruption in the coming years. Toward that end, the symposium is organized around five central themes. 1. Historicizing Corruption: How has the understanding of corruption changed over time in different locations? Why has corruption become such a potent site of social critique in recent years? What are the local and translocal dynamics that have made corruption in the present moment such an important public concern in many different national contexts? 2. The Politics of Corruption: Why does corruption serve as a rallying point for otherwise diverse politi- cal parties and social movements? Popular mobilization against corruption is often difficult to locate in terms of left-right politics. How should we assess the possibilities and limits of anti-corruption polics? between corruption and other regimes of inequality.

16 Wenner-Gren Symposia Reports, continued

3. Social Inequality: How can anthropological approaches shed light on the intersection between cor- ruption and inequalities of race, class, caste, gender, region, language, and ethnicity? While social class often correlates strongly with concerns about corruption, we know very little about the rela- tionship between corruption and other regimes of inequality. 4. Logics of Law and Governance: How is corruption situated with respect to distinctions between le- gality and illegality? How can we approach the often intimate relationship between corruption and practices of policing and governance? 5. Normative Evaluation: How is “corruption” as a category produced, deployed, and transformed? How do people extend that category beyond the public areas of everyday life and with what ef- fects?

All five themes are crosscut by a concern with how corruption is represented in academic writing. Self- reflexivity about academic uses of the category of “corruption” distinguishes anthropological work from other disciplines. Throughout the symposium, we will consider how to produce anthropological knowledge about corruption that does not take the category for granted, but constructs a critical per- spective on its social life.

18 Hunt Postdoctoral Fellows for 2016

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 2016, eight Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships were awarded.

Hannah C. Appel University of California, Los Angeles, California (USA) “Oil and the Licit Life of Capitalism in Equatorial Guinea”

Abstract: This book offers an ethnographic account of the daily life of capital- ism. It is both an account of a specific capitalist project--US oil companies off the shores of central Africa--and an exploration of more general forms and process- es--the offshore, contracts, infrastructures, and ‘the’ economy--that facilitate di- verse capitalist projects around the world. Equatorial Guinea is widely consid- ered to be one of the most corrupt dictatorships in the world. The oil industry is similarly disreputable. Rather than use this book to bring attention to the scan- dals that saturate capitalism's daily life, not least in the oil industry, and not least in sub-Saharan Africa, oil in Equatorial Guinea counter-intuitively offers an ideal site from which to explore the opposite of scandal: economic theory, corporate enclaves, 'best practices'. These were the assemblages of liberalism and labor, expertise and technology, gender and domesticity that made an industry operat- ing on the edge of legitimacy formally legitimate and productive of extraordinary profit. In all the messiness of their daily lives, these technologies, norms, processes, and affects form the licit life of capitalism: practices that are legally sanctioned, widely replicated, and ordinary, at the same time as they are messy, contested and to many, indefensible.

Sarah Aaltje Bakker Kellogg San Francisco State University, San Francisco, California (USA) “Liturgical Song in the Age of Digital Diaspora: Syriac Christians in Western Europe”

Abstract: Among Syriac Orthodox Christian migrant communities in western Europe, liturgical performance is a site of controversy over how to be both an ethical Christian and a model secular citizen. This book project, entitled Liturgi- cal Song in the Age of Digital Diaspora: Syriac Christians in Western Europe, is an of musical revival and religious reinvention among Middle East- ern Christian refugees and immigrants who have fled decades of violence in Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq. In the vibrant cultural capitals of the global diaspora, the liturgy of the West Syriac Rite is a primary medium for aesthetic experimentation and ethical reinvention. After generations of violence, repres- sion, and migration, most of the Church's institutional knowledge and collective memory has either been destroyed or forgotten. But in parish churches and secular cultural organizations in the Netherlands and Germany, second- and third-generation Syriac Christians experiment with what remains of the sonic ritual art at the heart of their 1700 year old liturgical tradition in order to authorize new political orientations, family structures, and ethical dispositions. In this argument, Syriac Orthodox Christian sonic ritual art becomes a lens for making sense of broader public concerns over the politics of pluralism and religious pluralism in Europe.

Alicia McGill North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina (USA) “A History of Heritage: Cultural Education, Community-based Archaeology, and Heritage Management in Belize”

Abstract: The research that provides the basis for this fellowship proposal is an interdisciplinary analysis of cultural heritage practices in Belize, from the late 19th century to today. Drawing from ethnographic and historical approaches, this project provides perspectives on heritage processes within two African-descendant communities, and situates heritage values in an entangled web of local, national, and global factors, thus revealing how heritage practices are culturally and historically constructed. I am applying for a Wenner-Gren Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowship to complete my first book manuscript based on this research. The main objectives of this project are: 1) To identify and analyze state agendas, discourse, and practices for nationalist heritage initiatives in schooling, archaeological research, cultural policies, and tourism; 2) To demonstrate how Belizeans (especially students and teachers) surrounded by rich archaeological resources construct ideas about cultural heritage such as archaeology and local history; 3) To incorporate the voices of Crooked Tree and Biscayne people, and examine how they respond to outside community-heritage initiatives and contemporary cultural politics, and manipulate heritage for their needs; 4) To contextualize and interpret findings from the first three objectives within the colonial history of Belize and the cultural and geo-politics of the broader region.

Sarah E. Newman James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia (USA) “Talking Trash: A History of Refuse in Mesoamerica”

Abstract: Talking Trash: A History of Refuse in Mesoamerica explores chang- ing perceptions and practices surrounding waste throughout Central America's deep history. The book's long-term, cross-cultural perspective challenges con- temporary understandings of trash by highlighting alternative ways that people in the past conceptualized, experienced, and managed material and bodily wastes. Drawing on evidence from archaeology, material culture studies, an- thropology, history, and environmental studies, Talking Trash details the cul- turally and historically specific ways that refuse could be a resource, discard was a form of production, and disposal kept objects present in indigenous Lat- in American traditions. Native perspectives clashed with those of Europeans, however, with long-term implications the ways waste is managed in Latin America and its ongoing associations with hierarchies of race and class. As contemporary issues of climate change and waste management loom large, Talking Trash argues that rather than focusing on modifying behaviors, perhaps we need to rethink refuse altogether.

Solen C. Roth University of , Montreal, Quebec (Canada) “Culturally Modified Capitalism: Indigenizing Capitalist Markets in the Name of Cultural Perpetuity”

Abstract: My work examines the reciprocal influence of capitalism and Indigenous cultures, as exemplified by the commodification of North American Indigenous cultural heritage in the Canadian Pacific Northwest, and in Subarctic Québec. My research shows that, even as processes of cultural commodification are inherently tied to the colonial imposition of capitalism, Indigenous peoples in these two regions have also been infusing these markets with their own approaches to property, relationships, and economics. This denotes their hope that it is possible to find ways of using capitalism to perpetuate their ways of life, in a process that leads to what I call 'culturally modified capitalism'. This concept is inspired by the designation 'Culturally Modified Tree', which refers to a tree altered by Indigenous harvesting methods that purposely keep the tree alive so that it can continue its growth. My use of 'culturally modified capitalism' thus emphasizes how Indigenous peoples draw on their cultural heritage for the purpose of economic development all the while being concerned with this heritage's preservation. On the one hand, this concept stresses that many groups perceive the capitalist system as a threat on their ways of life but are nonetheless eager to harness it as best they can to support their efforts of cultural perpetuation. On the other hand, it points to the idea that indigenizing capitalism gives it a more familiar and therefore friendlier face, which in turn makes it more difficult for Indigenous peoples to contest it. For this fellowship, my objectives are to: 1) publish the results of my doctoral work about 'culturally modified capitalism', in the form of a book (under contract at UBC Press; and 2) publish one peer-reviewed article that provides a comparative analysis of this phenomenon in the Pacific Northwest and in Subarctic Québec.

Krish Seetah Stanford University, Stanford, California (USA) “Butchery as Social Practice: An Archaeological Case Study”

Abstract: This book centers on the relationship between butchery and archaeology. How do we study butchery? What are we studying and why do we studying it? Anthropological archaeology is at the forefront of scholarship into this remarkably important subject matter. However, despite an impressive body of literature on specific aspects of 'butchery', I aim to demonstrate that we have yet to fully conceptualize butchery, nor to tap into the full wealth of the archaeological cut mark record. The book suggests that we -- as academics -- have not truly intellectualized this incredibly rich source of data. It identifies a number of methodological concerns that need to be tackled and emphasizes why we need a more sustained development of methods to study metal-tool butchery. The book also speaks to archaeology at the disciplinary level. It devotes particular attention to the way in which archaeologists build interpretation from their material. It tackles the complexities of how to better integrate experiential knowledge into academic discourse: how do we intellectualize practical experience? Ultimately, while focused specifically on the zooarchaeological study of butchery, the book seeks to revitalize the future of the subject, positioned more effectively into dialogue at a disciplinary level.

Micah Van der Ryn American Samoa Community College, Pago Pago, American Samoa “Circles to Squares: Houses and the Habitus of Culture and Change in Samoa”

Abstract: The proposed project will be a book based on my PhD research, which involved four years of fieldwork in villages of American Samoa and Independent Samoa, investigating cultural dynamics and implications of changes in Samoan architectural traditions and socio- spatial practices from 1940 to 2006. Analysis integrates and develops current anthropological theoretical areas, including habitus, House Society, materiality and agency, cultural landscapes, place and space, and the emergent indigenous Pacific Tā-Vā (time-space) Theory -- to develop ethnographically grounded understandings about the reciprocal mutually constituting relationship between tangible dimensions of built environment and intangible dimensions of culture in the context of a changing, transnationalizing Samoa. Sixty plus years ago most Samoan houses were the traditional Samoan fale -- posted, open walled structures with round bee-hive like thatched roofs. Under the pressures of globalization, Samoans increasingly, incorporated new imported industrially produced building materials and made design changes in different combinations -- adding walls, and rooms, extensions, square floor plans, and so forth, thus, affecting and reflecting changes in socio-cultural practices and beliefs. The book will present an ethnographically rich, theoretical account of the significance that Samoan buildings and their spaces have within Samoan culture and social life, and the agency and materiality by which they are designed, constructed and utilized. This effort will mark an important contribution to the anthropology of architecture, deepening anthropological understandings about how design, construction and use of built forms and spaces plays an active and integral role in broader processes of culture and society In turn, this work is expected to provide useful inputs for continued developments in social theory.

Bharat J. Venkat University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon (USA) “India after Antibiotics: Tuberculosis at the Limits of Cure”

Abstract: In 2011, the first cases of an 'incurable' form of tuberculosis were identified in India, inciting speculations that a limit had been reached -- a limit to an antibiotic cure, and potentially, to the antibiotic era. Entering into these conversations about our collective therapeutic futures, my book project, India after Antibiotics: Tuberculosis at the Limits of Cure, offers an ethnographic and historical study of tuberculosis treatment in India from 1860 to the present. This work asks specifically about what it means to be cured, and what it means for a cure to come undone. In the scholarly and popular imagination, cure tends to be conceived of as the end-point of illness. Such an understanding of cure fails to account for the ways in which cure can unravel across multiple scales as bacteria mutate, patients relapse, new evidentiary procedures solidify and therapeutic paradigms shift. Rather than assuming a singular and static idea of cure, India after Antibiotics draws on 23 months of multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork conducted in India from 2011--2015, as well as extensive archival research and oral histories, to argue that 'cure' itself is a mutable concept. This work situates ideas and practices of cure within colonial and postcolonial histories of therapeutic possibilities, from travel and natural healing to sanatorium care and antibiotic treatment. I focus in particular on the contentious debates that have surrounded these various therapeutic forms, ranging from indignation over the colonial government's selective support of curative migration for white soldiers to more recent controversies regarding the distribution of novel antibiotics in India given the risk of exhausting these latest tools in the therapeutic armamentarium. My work suggests that the task of envisioning a post-antibiotic future requires imagining what forms cure might take, and for whom.

22 Fejos Postdoctoral Fellows for 2016

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 2016, five Fejos Fellowships in Ethnographic Film were awarded.

Alexander Fattal Pennsylvania State University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA) “Dreams from the Concrete Mountain”

Abstract: This feature length documentary explores the psychological and moral world of Javier, a former guerrilla fighter from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) who is struggling to transition to civilian life. The film is recorded primarily in a truck whose payload has been trans- formed into camera obscura, which projects images of Colombian land- scapes and cityscapes flipped upside-down into the truck's interior and over Javier's body. In this space Javier shares haunting dreams that reveal a subconscious troubled by his time in the insurgency, and his use of tradition- al, psychotropic medicines as a form of healing. Like the images that project over his body, his story is marked by inversions. After Javier demobilized from the FARC, he then worked with the military as an informant, which begs the question: to what extent has he been remobilized? The extended interview in the camión cámara, or truck camera, is intercut with evocative landscape imagery and by flash backs to archival footage of Javier in the guerrilla. Through the sensorial journey we glimpse how Javier conceives of his life between an omni- present past and an uncertain future.

Natasha E. Fijn Independent Scholar, Braidwood, Australia “Multispecies Medicine in Mongolia”

Abstract: Multispecies Medicine in Mongolia is a filmic inquiry into the medici- nal practices Mongolian herders use to treat their families and the herd ani- mals they live amongst. This multispecies-based analysis will add to a greater understanding of pastoral knowledge practices, more-than-human sociality and perceptions towards other beings. Herding families in the Khangai Mountains live in harsh environmental conditions and are crucially reliant on herd animals as a means of survival. The circumstances surrounding illness involves dealing with the vulnerabilities of life and death amongst family members, including herd animals, on a daily basis. Focusing on the treatment of animals when they are ill is a good means of drawing out ritual practices and attitudes toward Significant Others: a fascinating window into Mongolian herder cosmology and worldview toward other beings. The video-based findings inform the interdisci- plinary fields of human-animal studies and the environmental humanities, en- gaging with the current literature on different ontologies within anthropology, while contributing to academic discussions surrounding zoonoses, multi- species ethnography, nature-cultures and processes of domestication.

Jennifer L. Heuson Independent Scholar, Princeton, New Jersey (USA) “Sounding Western: Aural Sovereignty in a Sacred Land”

Abstract: Located in western South Dakota, the Black Hills are home to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorials, the town of Deadwood, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, and the site of Wounded Knee, an enduring symbol of cultural genocide. Tourism is big business in South Dakota, and like elsewhere in the American West, it relies upon producing experiences that draw heavily from frontier histories and mythologies. The aural modes used to produce frontier experience in the region are the most crucial and undertheorized aspects of tourist production, aspects with profound consequences for the future cultural, political, and economic sovereignty of Lakota Nations. Through the aural stances enacted at tourist venues in the Black Hills, Lakota peoples and lands are consistently exploited and colonized. They are protected as valuable, spiritual silences and made inaudible by the noise and sound of technological processes. These processes, in turn, shape non -Natives as active participants in sounded culture. Through a short film, website, and collaborative workshop, this project will generate a direct intervention in the tourist production practices of the region. The project will act as a document of the existence and stakes of aural sovereignty in one of the most sacred, contested, and popular tourist regions in the United States. It will also serve as a pivotal training case for the future forms of Indigenous tourism and for the increasing relevance of critical forms of sensing to ethnographic practice and media making.

Christopher Erik Hewlett Independent Scholar, Charlottesville, Virginia (USA) “Amahuaca: Building the Future -- A Collaborative Film Project in Peruvian Amazonia”

Abstract: Amahuaca: Building the Future derives its inspiration and nar- rative from the different ways transformation is embodied by Amahuaca people, and expressed in their contemporary lives. Building on earlier work by Robert Carneiro and Gertrude Dole, among others, and 7 ½ years of contemporary research and collaboration with Amahuaca peo- ple, the film addresses questions about transformation, representation, memory, and indigenous identities. It will include: archival footage and photographs from the 1960s; music recorded in the 1970s; contemporary footage of Amahuaca social life in different sites; interviews with older people about memories of the past; images of the inauguration of an indigenous cultural center in 2015; and, footage shot by young Ama- huaca people employing a new mode of self-expression. It is a collabora- tive project with award-winning Peruvian filmmaker Fernando Valdivia who is the director of TeleAndes Productions, and leads workshops with young filmmakers in the 'School of Amazonian Cinema'. The documentary follows Amahuaca people's re-appropriation of photographic, film and audio materials and how this is reflected in their memories of the past and aspirations for the future.

Catalina Constantina Tesar National Museum of the Romanian Peasant, Bucharest, Romania “Taxtaja thaj Tokmeala: Invisible Chalices and Conspicuous Marriages”

Abstract: The Romanian Gypsy population of Cortorari keeps to conspicuously arranging their children's marriages despite repeated attempts at national and European level to eradicate the practice. Contrary to folk and policy-makers' representations of Roma marriages as cursory alliances enforced by adults on pubescent children ensuing in premature sexual intercourse, Cortorari experience their marriages (tokmeala) as composite processes unfolding over many years, which revolve around the whimsical fastening and unfastening of marital ties, the performance of gender subjectivities, the ongoing tensions between sameness and difference, and the continuous negotiation of the cash 'dowry'. Despite their performativity and negotiability, marriages hinge nonetheless on a time-scale far longer than the individual human life, which underscores generational reproduction rooted in more or less imaginary ancestries. In the center of marriages stand some material items, chalices (taxtaja), which were bequeathed to Cortorari men by their forebears and which circulate both as family heirlooms and as ceremonial wealth. Though they are tucked away in the granaries of Romanian peasants, chalices are ubiquitous in people's wrangles and exert an agency of their own over people's current actions. Subject to individual claims and assertions, the possession of chalices secures Cortorari's life world, permanence and immutability. This film pries into the economic, social and symbolic meanings of chalices and into their centrality to marriages. It does so by counterpointing the unperturbed daily lived experience of the marriage process in two families who exchanged girls, to ritual sequences of wrangles, streets brawls and marriage arrangements that all revolve around the monetary and other values of chalices.

25 Wadsworth African and International Fellows for 2016 Kefiloe Sello U. of Lesotho, Roma, Lesotho - To aid training in social cultural anthropology at U. of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa, supervised by Dr. Divine Fuh (Wadsworth African Fellowship)

I am pursing PhD in Environmental Humanities under based on the fact that most times environmental concerns are left to the natural and geographical sciences. With Anthropological background, I am able to merge my understating of environment to human behaviour and offer insight into how moving forward we can implement policies, technologies and behav- iours that are ‘environment friendly’. This research is inspired by my own life, my two lives: the life I knew, and the life I was forced to know due to resettle- ment. The life I was forced to know was professed to give me a better life but instead I experienced precariousness, my family got battered, scotched and withered. I hope my research will introduce narratives on beliefs and resilience, accounts of rural souls in urban settings.

How I came to know about Anthropology is that while registered for Political Science, beginning of second year at National University of Lesotho, I accom- panied a friend to her class. The lecturer was deliberating on women and development. I never went back to my politics. I found Anthropology to be the most practical discipline, addressing social Issues, causations and probable solutions in a manner that can be grasped by all. I have come a long way since then, I was awarded a Margaret McNamara Memorial Grant for commitment to children and Women in 2012 while pursing Masters Degree at the University of Cape Town. I have also co-authored a book on Marginality, Mobility and Reconfiguration of Social Relations in Africa, in which I address issues on women, identity and negotiation of space.

Mulky Kamath U. of Southampton, Southampton, UK - To aid training in physical- at U. College London, London, UK, supervised by Dr. Maria Martinon-Torres (Wadsworth Int’l Fellowship)

Growing up in the port city of Mangalore in South India, I developed a fascination for archaeology exclusively through reading and travel. After completing my secondary education in science, I moved on to attain a BA in history (2014). To learn more about archaeological practices, I took up an online course from the Oxford Department for Continuing Education (UK), which furthered my interest in archaeology and anthropology, particularly of the Palaeolithic. In 2014, I went on to pursue my MA at the University of Southampton, UK, in Palaeolithic Archaeology and Human Origins, which took a comprehensive approach towards teaching this subject and helped me gain a greater understanding of the human story.

My doctoral research at University College London (UCL) is a progression of my previous work and incorporates μCT, geometric morphometrics and statistical analysis. Dental traits have high genetic components and are particularly beneficial for phylogenetic studies. This research will offer an extensive investigation of the lower premolar morphology of the Early and Middle Pleistocene hominins from Atapuerca (Spain), as well as other Early, Middle and Late Pleistocene samples from Asia, Africa and Europe. Their comparative analysis will provide a clearer insight into the taxonomy and phylogeny of the European hominins, ultimately characterizing the variability of Pleistocene populations. This project is supervised by Dr. María Martinón -Torres, a renowned palaeoanthropologist, and a leader in dental anthropological research. The presence of such prominent academic staff, the availability of high-end research facilities, and the innovative approaches taken at UCL will undoubtedly help me acquire the necessary skills and expertise to establish myself in the field of palaeoanthropology.

26 Wadsworth International Fellows, continued Olubukola Olayiwola U. of Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria - To aid training in social-cultural anthropology at U. of South Florida, Tampa, FL, supervised by Dr. Kevin Yelvington

The focus of my scholarship traverses different aspects of Cultural Anthropology such as economic anthropology; the anthropology of policy; the anthropology of development; complex organizations; and the anthropology of ethnicity and gen- der.

My current research interest is on grassroots women and the violence of credit mobilization in southwest Nigeria. For my PhD, I will focus on how violence is im- plicated in the relationship between local women and microcredit institutions. I am interested in investigating the formal and informal processes that guide the dis- bursement and repayment of small loans by banks that operate in Nigeria under the Grameen Bank model. My interest is driven by the assumption that local expe- riences of microcredit loans contrast with the popular tendency to see it as sus- tainable development intervention especially among the poorest of the poor.

I worked briefly as a Program Assistant with the Development Policy Centre, Ibadan (an NGO) and was involved with monitoring and evaluating MGD projects in Oyo State, Nigeria. During my MA studies at the University of Ibadan, I investigated the role of ethnic identity and organization of informal trade in Ibadan’s urban areas. Although the idea of the anthropology of space and place was still implicated in this research, my main interest was the historical and social factors that produced specific trade items as specialized areas in which different major ethnic groups maintained trade dominance.

Finally, and more importantly, with greater conviction that application of anthropological knowledge can solve myriad of socio-cultural problems, a PhD in will not only fetch me a career in academics but also avail me a rare opportunity of propagating the ‘gospel’ of Applied Anthropology with- in the shore of West Africa sub-region and beyond.

Ignacio Sandoval U Alberto Hurtado, Santiago, Chile - To aid training in social-cultural anthropology at London School of Economics, London, UK, supervised by Dr. David Graeber

After obtaining my MA in Sociocultural Anthropology from Columbia University in 2015, I taught anthropological theory at Universidad Alberto Hurtado in Santiageo, Chile. My work, based in Santiago, focused on two topics: 1) the relation between neoliberalism, class transformations and life projects; and 2) the metatheory on social and cultural forms, especially the debate agency- structure.

My current research follows the lives of different families living in metropolitan Santiago. I explore the relations between historical macro-processes and the intimate transformation of agency, subjectivity, and temporal dwelling. Particularly, I am interested in understanding the cultural bridges between everyday ethics and political engagement and how these mirror practices of elaboration, resistance and reproduction of the ideological and cultural discourses that have emerged after the neoliberal counterrevolution in the country.

London School of Economics is ideally suited to my research interests. The department emphasizes the study of capitalism and inequality, with a focus on political and moral anthropology as well as on research concerning personhood and agency. Not least, LSE’s stimulating environment will help me to develop metatheoretical inquiries into my research interests. After my dissertation, I intend to return to Chile, to strengthen anthropological research in the country and collaborate in the developing of a more diverse and robust anthropological community. 27 Wadsworth International Fellows, continued

Alekandra Simonova European U, St. Petersburg, Russia - To aid training in social-cultural anthropology at U. of Cali- fornia, Berkeley, CA, supervised by Dr. Alexei Yurchak

I am interested of social implications of science and technology and development of specific urban environment. I am starting my PhD research on post-Soviet cit- ies of science in Russia at UC Berkeley. These settlements were designed for scientific research in the Soviet Union. I consider anthropological approach to be highly valuable for my research, as the latter involves the analysis of spatial or- ganization and architecture elements, practices of city dwellers and state policies concerning the science cities. These heterogeneous elements can be seen as forming the assemblages that are involved in the making of particular urban spac- es. I hope to reveal the factors that pushed the development of science cities in different directions during post-Soviet period.

I have a background in political studies and philosophy from Lomonosov Moscow State University where I got my first degree. In 2012. I entered STRELKA Institute for Media, Architecture and Design one of the most promising schools for architecture and urban studies in Russia. My research was supervised by OMA architectural office of Rem Koolhaas. I explored space utopia and how dreams about space influenced political imaginary as well as material environment in Soviet Union.

Simultaneously I discovered the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS) that also became a promising framework for my research. I entered MA program in sociology at European university where I became a part of a collective research project on Russian computer scientists at home and abroad. My research focused on spaces of scientific and technological creativity called hackerspaces. Along with ethnographic research of Russian hackers’ discourses and practices, I analyzed material organization of hackerspaces, global discourse on hackers’ ethics and identity along with the roots of Russian hackers’ movement in the Soviet tradition of scientific and technological creativity.

At UC Berkeley, I will continue my research on spaces of science and technology. I was impressed by UC Berkeley scientific environment, and found the Anthropology Department particularly interesting as its faculty members had specialization in the areas of my scientific interests.

Joanne Munga National Museums of Kenya, Nairobi, Kenya - To aid training in at George Washington U., Washington, DC, supervised by Dr. David Braun

My focus is on lithic analysis of East African Early Stone Age tools. My previous work involved a morphological analysis of the Lewa Downs tools a site located in Central Kenya. The main reason why I felt the George Washington University (GWU) would be the best institution for me to take my PhD is because they have a very good human paleobiology doctorate program, which focuses on several areas of studies, from the Paleolithic to hominin evolution and primate studies.

I will use this unique opportunity to specialize in Paleolithic Archaeology. In particular, I am interested in a focused lithic analysis that can provide in- depth understanding of early hominin technology.

It is my dream to return to Kenya after my PhD, to continue doing research as well as to teach and mentor young er archaeologists in the deep past of our species and the rich heritage our country has to offer. Kenya has a huge archaeological collection in need of curation, and who better to do this work than the upcoming research scientists from the Universities of Kenya.

Dr. Carlos Barragan U. del Cauca, Cauca, Colombia Doctorate in social-cultural anthropology at U. California-Davis, supervised by Dr. Ben Orlove

I received my PhD from the Department of Anthropology at the University of Cali- fornia, Davis (UCD) in December 2016. My dissertation “Lineages within ge- nomes: situating human genetics research and contentious bio-identities in North- ern South America,” was a multi-sited ethnography about the production, circula- tion and contestation of human genomic knowledge among ethnic minorities in Colombia, South America. Since graduation I have been actively engaged in transforming chapters of the dissertation into academic articles. Right now, I am revising two article drafts. The first one is titled “Biogeographic translations: ge- nomic maps of mestizaje and admixture,” and the second one, “Gene hunters and their hunters: the staging of genomic trafficking and bioethical transgressions.” Both pieces reflect, respectively, about the places of race and ethnicity in the bio-cultural characteriza- tion of human populations and the constitution of biological capital and its ethical dimensions. Since Winter 2017 I have been working as lecturer for the African American & African Studies Department at UCD teaching the class “Race and ethnicity in Latin America.” Next Spring I will start an affiliation as a research associate with the Science and Technology Studies Program (STS) at the same university. My overall goals during 2017 are: (a) finding a tenure-track job, (b) producing necessary research to expand aspects of my dissertation, and (c) work towards the overall transformation of it into a book manuscript.

The acceptance of a paper abstract submitted for the annual meeting of the International Society of the History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Biology (ISHPSB) in São Paulo, Brazil next July has been confirmed. The title of my paper is “Substantiating genetic and cultural continuity: partial connections between genomic, archaeological and linguistic datasets.” I have submitted a second paper abstract, under review, for the annual meeting of the Society for Social Study of Science (4S), titled “Fabula ama- zonensis: the mutation of racial, scientific and political landscapes as governance itself.”

Dr. Samuel Dira Jilo Hawassa U., Hawassa, Ethiopia Doctorate in social-cultural anthropology at Washington State U., supervised by Dr. Barry Hewlett

I was a Wenner-Gren Foundation International Program Fellow between 2011 and 2014. I received the Dissertation Write-Up Fellowship in the Fall of 2014 and continued writing my dissertation until the end of 2015-2016 academic year. After completing my PhD in May 2016 at Washington State University, I took a postdoctoral position at the University of West Florida, where I am working on writing journal articles from my dissertation, teaching classes, and conducting research in Northwest Florida on environmental risk perceptions. While working on my dissertation, I published a paper entitled “Learning to Survive Ecological Risks among the Sidama of the Southwestern Ethiopia” in the Journal of .

This year, I will present papers from my dissertation at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Cross- Cultural Research (SCCR), in New Orleans, LA in early March and the Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology (SfAA), in Santa Fe, NM in late March 2017. My plans for the remainder of the year include completing two papers from my dissertation and finalizing my Northwest Florida research and writing at least two papers. I am working on an NFS grant with my PhD committee members Drs.

Dr. Rayed Khedher Faculte des Sciences Humaines et Sociales de Tunis, Tunis, Tunisia Doctorate in social-cultural anthropology at U. of California, Los Angeles, supervised by Dr. Sondra Hale and Dr. Susan Slyomovics

I completed my doctoral degree in Anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in October 2016. My dissertation, “From Dreams to Deportations: The Case of Tunisian Irregular Migrants in Italy After 2011”) examines the impacts on male migrants of the mass irregular migration to Italy following the 2011 Tunisian popular uprising by examining: 1) the potential of human rights’ abuses by the Italian authorities and non- state actors and 2) the migrants’ reactions and strategies for resistance. I scrutinized this topic by ethnographically exploring the construction of the Tunisian irregular migrant as the “violent other,” the “potential criminal,” or the “hidden terrorist.” Throughout my studies at UCLA, I presented extensively at various professional conferences, symposia and seminars on various global issues such as transnational migration, youth and violence, the Arab Uprisings, etc. I also published in a number of peer-reviewed venues.

I hope to pursue a career in academia developing my teaching and research abilities within a pedagogical context that helps students develop their critical thinking skills in re-exploring the interplay of theory and ethnography when dealing with transnationalism and the anthropology of migration. My long-term goal is to continue engaging with the under-studied Tunisian migrant community in diaspora as an academic, but also as an NGO consultant.

In coordination with a number of Tunisian NGOs, I am currently putting together a Euro- Mediterranean Public Hearing on Youth and Irregular Migration, which will take place in Tunis at the end of 2017. The event will consist of two days of roundtable discussions and one day of a public hearing through which a large youth audience will listen to the voices of deported Tunisian irregular migrants. The testimonies that emerge from the public hearing could offer a valuable input into local, national and international campaigns against the different forms of migration-based violence.

Dr. Ann Margvelashvili Georgian National Museum, Tbilisi, Georgia Doctorate in paleoanthropology from U. Zurich, supervised by Dr. Peter E. Zollikofer

In April 2016, I completed my PhD studies at the University of Zurich (thesis title - “Tooth Wear and Dentoalveolar Remodeling in Early Homo from Dmanisi”). Since the completion of my PhD, I continued a post-doctoral research at the University of Zurich for 6 months. During those six months, I was busy coordi- nating the annual Dmanisi Paleoanthropology Field School (directed by Prof. David Lordkipanidze), which hosted nine participants in 2016. As a co- coordinator of Dmanisi Paleoanthropology Field School I was not only involved in organizational management but also gave lectures in Paleoanthrology and took part in field research activities. Additionally, I have been intensively in- volved in planning the concept and preparations for the major exhibition – “Stone Age Georgia” – for the Georgian National Museum. The exhibit was open during the International Conference “100+25 years of Homo erectus: Dmanisi and beyond” and will be ongoing for the coming months. The exhibit broadly encompasses the Dmanisi Plio-Pleistocene site, covering local geology, landscape, fauna, hom- inins and hominin behavior. During the post-doctoral research I was looking into Dmanisi hominin dental tissues using non-invasive methods. For now I am residing in Zurich but remotely working as a scientific researcher at the Georgian National Museum and will continue to be part of the Dmanisi research and excavation team. In the future I hope to develop and pursue more research projects, be active in aca- demia and be involved in international research collaborations. 30 Wadsworth International Fellows Completing Doctorates

Dr. Xinyuan Wang University of China, Beijing, P.R. China Doctorate in social cultural anthropology at University College London, supervised by Dr. Daniel Miller

After completing my PhD degree at UCL department of Anthropology in October 2016, I accepted a post-doctoral research position to continue working for the project ‘Why We Post - Global Social Media Impact Study’ (“WWP”). Through the postdoc I promote the WWP project and anthropology to Chinese scholars and students and develop theoretical critique based on ethnographic knowledge, and produce journal articles in the fields of anthropology, Chinese studies, and communication using the data, information and insights of my field work.

To promote the project, I translated (English to Chinese) the project’s three open access books: How the World Changed Social Media (Miller, et al., 2016, UCL Press), Social Media in Industrial China (Wang, 2016, UCL Press), and Social Media in Rural China (McDonald, 2016, UCL Press). I submitted three articles (in Chinese) to the Chinese Encyclopedia of Sociology -the Volume of Anthropology (‘’, ‘Virtual Community’, and ‘New Media’).

I worked with the BBC world service to produce a 26 minute radio documentary ‘Digital Migration’ based on my PhD research about the use of social media among Chinese rural migrants. I have participated in a series of talks and conferences to promote the anthropology of China and anthropology in general. After publishing a popularized version of my thesis (Social Media in Industrial China) I submitted two journal articles: “The Online community in a ‘floating life’: the anthropological study of the use of social media among Chinese rural migrants” (in Chinese) to Communication & Society; and “Making migrant identities on social media: a tale of two neoliberal cities on opposite sides of the pacific Rim” (Nell Hayness and Xinyuan Wang) accepted by Media, Culture and Society.

My future plans include applying for a joint research grant with my PhD supervisor Prof. Miller beginning in September 2017. The proposed project will be an anthropological comparative study of the use of smartphones among the ageing population, where I will concentrate on the urban population of Shanghai focusing specifically on an old people’s home near Hangzhou. I will also seek additional teaching experience by giving a series of seminars on Anthropology at a university in Shanghai.

57 Major Grant Program Statistics for 2016

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. The Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded to young scholars to provide time for publication of major pieces of research. The Fejos Postdoctoral Fellowship in Ethnographic Film are awarded to scholars within ten years of receipt their PhD, to produce an ethnographic film based on research already accomplished by the applicant. The Wadsworth Fellowships allow scholars to receive doctoral training in Anthropology that is not available in their home countries. The Conference and Workshop Grants fund academic meetings in the discipline, and the Engaged Anthropology Grant allows grantees to return to their research locale to share their research results.

In addition, to celebrate its 75th Anniversary the Foundation introduced the Innovations in Public Awareness of Anthropology Grant (IPAA) as a short-term funding initiative looking for innovative and effective ways of sharing anthropology and the results of research by anthropologists before the general public. The IPAA has since been terminated.

Over these eight grant programs in 2016 the Foundation received 1525 applications and made 241 awards for an overall success rate of 15.8%. This compares with a total of 1552 applications and 276 awards (Success rate = 17.8%) in 2015, 1504 applications and 270 awards (Success rate = 18.0%) in 2014 , 1621 applications and 251 awards in 2013 (success rate = 15.5%), 1470 applications and 219 awards in 2012 )success rate = 14.9%).

Success Rates

The lower overall success in 2016 (=15.7%) in relation to 2015 (17.8%) is largely the result of manage- ment’s budgetary decision to lower the success rates for the largest programs, the Dissertation Field- work Grant and the Post-Ph.D. Research Grant. Other programs are in line with prior years.
