Factors Explaining Variations In Covid-19 Deaths In Rural America, Don E. Albrecht Jun 2022

Factors Explaining Variations In Covid-19 Deaths In Rural America, Don E. Albrecht

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, case and death rates from the disease in rural counties were significantly lower than in urban counties. This pattern changed during the summer and fall of 2020, and by December, death rates in rural counties were higher than in urban counties. This article uses data from the U.S. Census Bureau and voting and COVID-19 data from The New York Times to explore factors related to the increase in COVID-19 deaths in rural counties in the United States. Further analysis is conducted to understand variations in death rates across different types of rural counties. Multivariate regression …

Reclaiming The Narrative: Creating And Sustaining Culturally Appropriate University Programs For American Indian Students, Trey Adcock Jun 2022

Reclaiming The Narrative: Creating And Sustaining Culturally Appropriate University Programs For American Indian Students, Trey Adcock

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

Using Kirkness and Barnhardt’s (2001) Four R’s approach, the paper will demonstrate both successes and challenges in the development and implementation of sustainable programs for recruitment and retention of American Indian students at a Primarily White Institution of higher education. Historically, the University of North Carolina Asheville (UNC Asheville website, n.d.) has had very few continuous and concerted efforts to recruit, retain, and build relationships with the surrounding American Indian community. This can be seen most clearly in the current institutional data, which shows that the American Indian student population makes up only 0.005 percent of the total student community. …

The Art Of Anthropology At A College In Crisis: Exploring Some Effects Of Neoliberalism On Higher Education, Vincent H. Melomo Jun 2022

The Art Of Anthropology At A College In Crisis: Exploring Some Effects Of Neoliberalism On Higher Education, Vincent H. Melomo

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

This chapter addresses the increasing pervasiveness of neoliberal ideologies in our culture and focuses on the implications of these ideologies for the future of anthropology in higher education. More specifically, the chapter considers how these ideologies pose a particular challenge to anthropology’s more humanistic dimensions, which include both the art of anthropology and an anthropology of art. Throughout the chapter, the author tells the story of how reductions were made recently to the anthropology program at his institution in response to converging economic crises. He analyzes the context of these changes and the process by which they were made in …


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.


Race And Rhythm In Rock And Roll, Hector Qirko Jun 2022

Race And Rhythm In Rock And Roll, Hector Qirko

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

This chapter argues that contrary to conventional wisdom and the views of many scholars and critics, rock and roll’s most important rhythmic elements are derived from a complex blend of African, American, and European musical traditions. There is therefore no objective support for racialized characterizations of the “beat” that often serve, however unintentionally, to perpetuate stereotypes in discussions of both the genre and American popular music more broadly.


Style And Configuration In Prehistoric Iconography, Vernon James Knight Jr. Jun 2022

Style And Configuration In Prehistoric Iconography, Vernon James Knight Jr.

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

The iconography of ancient art has to do with making propositions about what that art depicts. Stylistic studies, in contrast, make propositions about the sharedness of formal properties with other objects. These can be done separately. Although many iconographic analyses of ancient art proceed with little or no consideration of style, I argue that the two modes of analysis are interdependent. I offer a methodological case that stylistic analysis is logically prior to iconographic study in the domain of ancient art. This observation argues for a distinctively staged approach to the iconography of ancient objects, one in which detailed stylistic …


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 …


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 …


Pocahontas And Rebecca: Two Tales Of A Captive, Margaret Williamson Huber Jun 2022

Pocahontas And Rebecca: Two Tales Of A Captive, Margaret Williamson Huber

Proceedings of the annual meeting of the Southern Anthropological Society

The Jamestown colonists’ accounts of their capture of Pocahontas, her reactions to life among them, and the consequences for the success of the colony differ radically from the Mattaponi Indian oral history of the same events, published in 2007. Both versions present themselves as “true” — that is, objective reporting of real events; but the fact that each inverts the other raises questions of validity and, ultimately, of historiography in general. This paper argues that the question of veracity is irrelevant to our interpretation of these accounts. Instead, we must take them as representations of a culturally conceived reality—that is, …
