All 28 videos are available from the Perspectives: An Open Introduction to Cultural Anthropology website. Learning Objectives • Explain how the structure of academic careers, topical specialization, and writing styles contribute to difficulty with communicating findings from academic anthropology to a wider public. • Identify examples of anthropological research that has contributed to the public good. • Define public anthropology and distinguish it from academic anthropology and applied anthropology. • Assess the factors that contribute to a desire for public engagement in anthropology as well as the obstacles to this engagement.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Kimberly Scalcione November 12, 2019 M: 201-376-0699 E: [email protected] ** Press Release ** Mayor Fulop Invites all Living Jersey City Mayors for Historic Event to Address Census 2020 JERSEY CITY –Mayor Steven Fulop has invited all living former Mayors to City Hall on Wednesday, November 13, 2019 to participate in a historic Census 2020 awareness event. For the first time in the history of Jersey City, the current and former Mayors will join forces to advocate for the upcoming Census 2020 count, addressing the importance of the Census and how it ultimately effects the people, the culture, the infrastructure, and all other critical aspects that make Jersey City the great city it is today. The U.S. constitution mandates the federal government count every resident of the United States every 10 years. It’s estimated that for every resident not accounted for, the city will lose out on $15,000 in federal funding over the next ten years. Mayor Fulop, understanding the importance of the Census and its implications for the next decade, spearheaded this historic event and has kept Jersey City at the forefront as this once-in-a-decade event nears. “The goal is to come together and to show our community how important it is to be fully counted next spring. The Census impacts every aspect of our city and our community – from emergency response, to schools, to our congressional districts,” said Mayor Fulop. “An inaccurate count of Jersey City’s residents in the past has led to unfair and unequal political representation and inequitable access to vital public and private resources.

  • Irish American Leaders 2020
    NEW JERSEY’S IRISH AMERICAN LEADERS 2020 Make our state a better place! NEW JERSEY’S IRISH AMERICAN LEADERS 2020 INSIDERNJ.COM is once again pleased to present its annual and profiled list of New Jersey’s Irish American leaders and activists as a salute to this year’s holiday. The annual tribute is our way of honoring, celebrating and acknowledging the accomplishments and numerous contributions of Irish Americans, statewide. The list includes quite a few newcomers and veterans of previous compilations, as well. Collectively, they have all demonstrated a commitment to their Irish American heritage and to their communities. Tom Barrett, compiler of the list, would like our readers to know it is purely subjective. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY IT! 1 Top Hats & Tails of Yesteryear McGovern’s Tavern This year we offer a salute and a tip of the ‘top hat’ to the landmark Irish Pub, none other than McGovern’s Tavern on New Street in Newark. Established in 1936 by Frank McGovern himself (a Cavan man) in the same year as the Newark St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the pub, one of New Jersey’s oldest Irish establishments, has been newly refurbished, even renovated some would say, for the first time in 84 years. Closed for upgrades in June 2018, much to the disappointment of its loyal customers, it re-opened for business in November 2019. If one were to closely examine this vintage photo of the Frank McGovern Association (circa1958), none other than Frank McGovern himself stands proudly in the middle of his loyal entourage on Irish Parade Day.
