The Art Of Teaching Anthropology: Examples From Biological Anthropology, Susan Kirkpatrick Smith, Laura D. Lund, Marilyn R. London Jun 2022

The Art Of Teaching Anthropology: Examples From Biological Anthropology, Susan Kirkpatrick Smith, Laura D. Lund, Marilyn R. London

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

Teaching in a college or university setting has many challenges, including often-inadequate preparation in graduate school and the requirement to develop new courses, often in a short period of time. Anthropology faculty are at a particular disadvantage because anthropology lacks any discipline-specific journals for the publication of articles on the scholarship of teaching and learning. Many anthropology faculty desire to have more resources available for course and assignment development. In this chapter, we present several examples of course syllabi, class activities, and a sample student paper that faculty can use as they develop or revise anthropology courses.


Does Our Being There Change What We Come To Study?, Lindsey King Jun 2022

Does Our Being There Change What We Come To Study?, Lindsey King

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

While documenting an ex-voto tradition in a small Roman Catholic shrine town in Northeast Brazil where pilgrims craft mimetic offerings in payment for a spiritual healing, I began to see subtle changes in the manufacture of and interest shown in these offerings. Was this just a coincidence or did my traveling from the United States with expensive cameras and recording equipment spark this change? In this discussion, I examine the “art” of anthropology, delving into the question of how our gaze may be changing the material traditions that we travel to study and what linking changes this may bring to …


Thomas Kinkade: Money, Class, And The Aesthetic Economy, Susan Falls Jun 2022

Thomas Kinkade: Money, Class, And The Aesthetic Economy, Susan Falls

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

Contemporary art is seldom given sustained anthropological analysis despite its tantalizing potential. As a response, this essay examines the work of Thomas Kinkade to cast an oblique light on the production of value. Kinkade’s mechanically reproduced opus representing Cotswold cottages, quaint city scenes, and Disney fantasies are sold by authorized dealers in malls, along tourist strips, and online. Rather than operating as kitsch, lowbrow, or a new model for art-making, Kinkade’s overt profit motive, self-celebration, and evangelical Christianity refract political, economic, and especially aesthetic constructions that undergird contemporary markets. A bad boy of the aesthetic economy, Kinkade’s work, mostly dismissed …


A World Of Difference: Unity And Differentiation Among Ceramicists In Quinua, Ayacucho, Peru, Jennifer A. Vogt Jun 2022

A World Of Difference: Unity And Differentiation Among Ceramicists In Quinua, Ayacucho, Peru, Jennifer A. Vogt

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

This chapter analyzes local notions of authenticity drawing on ethnographic data collected during thirteen months of fieldwork in the rural village of Quinua, Peru. The author highlights how local ceramic artisans conceived of authenticity, which, it is argued, is encapsulated by local terms and material practices surrounding the concept of artesano verdadero. Artisans in Quinua share, borrow, and even “steal” designs from others. Within this context, artisans persistently evaluated each other based on these practices. Ultimately, the narratives artisans tell themselves and others about who they are, and are not, as artisans, thereby put forth claims about who counts and …


Mirror Dance: Tourists, Artists, And First People Heritage In Botswana, Jessica Stephenson Jun 2022

Mirror Dance: Tourists, Artists, And First People Heritage In Botswana, Jessica Stephenson

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

Arts destined for the tourist market have long been devalued and set aside from serious study. They are considered mass-produced, artistically uninteresting, and inferior in quality. Recent scholarship counters these views; many forms of tourist art can be recognized as artistically inventive and conceptually complex authentic objects of significance to both client and artist. Here the paintings and prints created by artists affiliated with the Kuru Art Project in Botswana are considered as forms of autoethnography, after Mary Louis Pratt’s term for indigenous autobiographies created in the context of “contact zones.” Autoethnographies are received heterogeneously—in this case, as both nostalgic …

Design Of Topical Moxifloxacin Mucoadhesive Nanoemulsion For The Management Of Ocular Bacterial Infections, Ahmed Adel Ali Youssef, Ruchi Thakkar, Samir Senapati, Poorva H. Joshi Jun 2022

Design Of Topical Moxifloxacin Mucoadhesive Nanoemulsion For The Management Of Ocular Bacterial Infections, Ahmed Adel Ali Youssef, Ruchi Thakkar, Samir Senapati, Poorva H. Joshi

Faculty and Student Publications

Ocular bacterial infections can lead to serious visual disability without proper treatment. Moxifloxacin (MOX) has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as a monotherapy for ocular bacterial infections and is available commercially as an ophthalmic solution (0.5% w/v). However, precorneal retention, drainage, and low bioavailability remain the foremost challenges associated with current commercial eyedrops. With this study, we aimed to design a MOX-loaded nanoemulsion (NE; MOX-NE) with mucoadhesive agents (MOX-NEM) to sustain MOX release, as well as to overcome the potential drawbacks of the current commercial ophthalmic formulation. MOX-NE and MOX-NEM formulations were prepared by hot homogenization …


Beyond Religiosity: Examining The Relative Effects Of Religiosity And Religious Ideation On Climate Skepticism (A Research Note), Kristin Haltinner, Dilshani Sarathchandra Jun 2022

Beyond Religiosity: Examining The Relative Effects Of Religiosity And Religious Ideation On Climate Skepticism (A Research Note), Kristin Haltinner, Dilshani Sarathchandra

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Much of the existing scholarship on climate change uses religiosity to measure the effects of religion on climate skepticism and results in inconsistent findings. Drawing on insights from the study of religion and environmentalism more broadly, we suggest that scholars should seek a deeper understanding of religion’s impacts by considering the influence of specific religious beliefs on perceptions of climate change. We further contend that researchers should consider how these factors shape attitudes within and between segments of the public who hold varying positions on climate change. We test these contentions using a novel sample of 1,000 self-declared “climate skeptics” …
