Christopher Lynn, Ph.D. How to Be a Publicly Engaged Anthropologist and Make it Count
Tuesday, May 2nd 4:00 PM STON 217
Whether we called it public engagement, participatory research, community-based scholarship, or outreach, working with research communities and engaging with the public about research outcomes is not “service.” Working closely with research communities to develop research and sharing project results are inextricable parts of research and teaching and should be considered as integrated programs. In this talk, I share experiences from the development of a Public Engagement Learning Community designed to help improve University recognitions and rewards for this work. I describe the development of metrics to evaluate the impacts of, for instance, The Sausage of Science Podcast or “grog talks” (e.g., Science on Tap) and how grant budgets can support the co-development of research with study participants. Integrating publicly engaged scholarship as a fundamental aspect of anthropological training has potential for improving equity in the discipline.

Dr. Sophie Chao- Time Has Come to a Stop: Indigenous Lifeworlds, Socio-Environmental Change, and Plantation Temporalities on the West Papuan Resource Frontier
Friday, November 18th 12:00 WALC B091
Over the last decade, Indigenous Marind communities in the Indonesian-controlled region of West Papua have seen vast swaths of their customary lands and forests converted to monocrop oil palm plantations without their free, prior, or informed consent. Dr.Chao will draw on ethnographic findings presented in her recently published monograph, In the Shadow of the Palms: More-Than-Human Becomings inWest Papua (Duke University Press, 2022) to examine how monocrop oil palm expansion reconfigures human and other-than-human temporalities on theWest Papuan plantation frontier. This talk will consider how Indigenous Marind communities sense and make sense of time through their own understandings of history and its cycles of generation and destruction, inviting attention to how disempowered communities creatively harness hopelessness to reclaim the very terms of their existence, amidst and against attritive histories of ontological occupation and multispecies violence.

Eleanor Hadden- Searching for My Great Aunt Mary
Friday, September 30th 1:30-2:20 Walc 3087
Starting in the late 19th and continuing well into the 20th-century thousands of Indigenous children in the United States and Canada were removed from their homes and sent to boarding schools, often run by religious organizations, with the goal of assimilating them into Euroamerican/ Canadian society while simultaneously undermining their Indigenous identity. Eleanor has been interviewed by news outlets and documentarians, and testified before the U.N. Human Rights Council, about her investigation into what happened to her mother's sister who was sent from Alaska to the Carlisle Indian Boarding School as a child, never to be seen again by her family. This presentation provides an overview of Eleanor's journey to find her missing aunt.

Critical Data Studies (CDS) Collective spring virtual reading discussion group
The Critical Data Studies (CDS) Collective is pleased to invite you to a spring virtual reading discussion group on critical data studies. This collective is a multidisciplinary community dedicated to examining the ethical, legal, social, cultural, epistemological, and political aspects of data science, big data, and digital infrastructure. At each of these get-togethers, participants will think about what CDS can teach us for dismantling structures of oppression and imagining ways to think, organize, and create for a more just world.
Each reading group session will be hosted virtually over Zoom with closed-captioning enabled, and you are welcome to come to one, several, or all four sessions. Folks who are interested and curious about CDS and want to listen and contribute to the discussion are welcome to join. These get-togethers will be held from 1-2 pm EST on the following dates and are open to students, staff, faculty, and community members:
- February 16th (Abolishing: Abolition University and Feminist Refusal)
- March 3rd (Doing: Anticolonial Science)
- March 30th (Organizing: Digital Labor and Global Solidarity)
