I have been following the coverage of the Central Park Village development
stuff for a while now and I wanted to point out something that may be
obvious to most readers of this series of emails:

The THA is not asking the question of the current resident that they should
be asking.  What they are asking is something like: "Aren't these new
constructions a whole lot better than what you have now?"  Only a fool would
say that they are not a significant improvement.  When, in reality, what
they should be asking is:  "Would you allow us to build these new places if
you knew that you would be unlikely to pass the readmission application that
is required for all residents of the new place?"

Again, this may strike people as obvious, but the "resident's association"
has bought into the idea that anything would be better than what they have
presently - they haven't given much thought to the idea that some/all of the
current residents will be displaced.  Dr. Greenbaum pointed out, when
Civitas was first under construction, that what is actually happening is
that residents are expressing a disconnect - they understand that people
will be displaced, but they assume that they will be someone else.

Let's keep all this in mind as the project moves inexorably forward and
residents begin to be quoted.

Beverly, Shari, Wendy, and I attended.  It was very interesting.  I conferred
briefly with Jerome, Leroy and Don Wallace about our continued interest in
helping with the transition for residents and other issues where we have
something to offer.  They spoke several times about preserving and reusing the
Meachum School, an outcome that was not originally planned.  Much credit is owed
to David Butler and the community members he mobilized to make sure its historic
value was certified.

We welcome any advice and assistance that members of the list can offer our
ongoing effort to both measure and mitigate any adverse impacts of this
redevelopment.  We will be starting our meetings again soon.  If you have a
specific interest in being included, please let me know.

Susan

EJ is correct that the most difficult problem will be the disqualifiers that
have kept the vast majority of previous relocatees from being able to move back
into the redeveloped housing.  This issue is one of our top priorities.  Good
ideas are especially welcome on that.

Reading messages on the SCOPA YahooGroup about the concerns of Central
Park Village residents who will be displaced reminds me of the 1996 MA
thesis by Catherine Sugg:  "Relocation Case Study and Evaluation of
Displaced Tenants in Two Mobile Home Parks."  We should reread that.  We
might get some good ideas for dealing with this current problem.
You can view her abstract on my web site and probably on the
Departmental web site as well.  On mine it is at:

It would be helpful if Catherine were to join our discussion group on

Subject: [URBANTH-L]FUNDING: Foundation for Child Development
ImmigrantChildren Research Fellowships


The FCD Young Scholars Program (YSP) provides approximately four
fellowships
of up to $150,000 each over a maximum period of three-years to study
issues
affecting the development of young immigrant children in the United
States.

YSP aims to stimulate basic and policy-relevant research focused on the
early education, health and well-being of immigrant children from birth
to
age 10, particularly those who are living in low-income families. Given
the
limited research on young immigrant children, proposals focused on
children
from birth to age eight are highly encouraged. YSP supports the career
development of young investigators - from the behavioral and social
sciences
or in an allied professional field - to attain tenure or who have
received
tenure in the last four years from a college or university in the United
States.

Immigrant children are defined as those having at least one parent who
was
not born in the United States. These children can be foreign-born and/or
United States citizens. Although the newcomer experiences of children
from
Puerto Rico and the territories of the United States are of interest,
the
New American Children Program and the FCD Young Scholars Program focus
primarily on immigrant children, particularly those who are living in
low-income families.

FCD is particularly interested in research that can inform policies
regarding the health and education needs of young newcomer children.
Proposals may include research designs for an empirical study, pilot
work
for a larger scale research project that will seek funding from other
public
and private funders, or analysis of data previously collected.

Research areas of interest are limited to the following:

Factors (e.g., individual, familial, cultural, neighborhood)
contributing to
both positive and negative outcomes for young immigrant children in
their
communities and schools.

Individual and group identity formation among young children from a
variety
of groups living in different environments.

The experiences of newcomer children in early education, kindergarten,
and
elementary school programs. What characteristics of these programs
foster
the cognitive, social, and emotional well-being of newcomer children?

Language development among immigrant children. What are the influences
of
different approaches to instruction for English language learners during
the
early education and elementary school years on educational achievement?

Evaluation of the impact of public policies in health and in education
that
affect the life prospects of newcomer children. What is the impact of
policies and practices in health care delivery on child health outcomes?

Eligibility

Scholars must have earned their Ph.D. within the last 15 years prior to
June
30, 2005 (seven years from completion of residency for M.D.s).
Applicants
must hold a Ph.D. or its equivalent in one of the behavioral and social
sciences or in an allied professional field (e.g., public policy, public
health, education, social work, nursing, medicine).

Applicants may either:

Not have received tenure and hold a full-time, tenure-track faculty
position
at an American college or university located in the United States.
Please
note tenure equivalent positions are not eligible for the fellowship.

Have received tenure within the past four years at the time of
application
and hold a full-time faculty position at an American college or
university
located in the United States. In the event that an applicant is being
reviewed for tenure at the time of application to the FCD Young Scholars
Program and is selected to receive the fellowship, evidence that tenure
has
been granted must be provided by the college or university to the
Foundation
for Child Development before the grant can be made.

Applicants must be United States citizens, permanent residents, or
international scholars who are affiliated with an American academic
institution during the duration of the award. Special consideration will
be
given to candidates who are more junior in their careers. Candidates
from di
verse backgrounds (e.g., ethnicity, discipline) are encouraged to apply.
The award is intended to support the individual career development of
the
recipient. Proposed research that is structured to include co-principal
investigators is ineligible.

Deadline

Completed proposals must be received in FCD's office on or before
Tuesday,
November 1, 2005. The deadline is firm. No email or fax submissions will
be
accepted. The review process for the FCD Young Scholars Program is
separate
from the review process for FCD. A letter of inquiry is not necessary.
FCD
Young Scholars Program proposals must follow the 2006 FCD Young Scholars
Proposal and Budget Format document.

Please mail your proposal package to:

Oddly enough, another year has passed.  It seems like just last week
people were arguing about California...in any case, Ellen Puccia has
graciously offered to represent SCOPA again this year and pass along
any relevant activities and information.  I let her know that I am
not really sure what to elaborate on as I haven't really had the
time to meet officially in regard to SCOPA with anyone.  I have had
some sidebar conversations, usually in passing that have generally
been something like:" You know, I think we need to
reincorporate..," or "I think Susan Greenbaum may be interested in
getting some help coding information relating to the work in Central
Park village," and "It would be interesting and fun to have a
conference in a few months so we can talk about all the stuff we
have been swamped with at our various agencies..."

If anyone would like to comment on what Ellen shared with us from
last year's meeting (I can't find the document in the archive or I
would have attached it - she posted in April of 2005 for those of
you that are email hoarders - I do remember that she had done some
networking with the High Plains folks who were interested in
attending any sort of conference if we actually do decide to
organize one; I believe she had some thoughts on how we could be
better organized as well...)

In any case, please share your thoughts, accomplishments and ideas
and or activities for the future as they may relate to SCOPA with
Ellen.  Either post to the group (which is nice because people can
take the opportunity to embellish...) or send them directly to
Ellen:

Ellen, thank you for your bravery and persistence.

Ask McDonald's to work with the CIW to change conditions in the
fields!

http://www.unionvoice.org/campaign/mcdonalds/

For months, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) and allies across
the country have called on McDonald's to do the right thing: Follow
Taco
Bell's lead and work with the CIW to establish fair wages and working
conditions for the farmworkers who pick its tomatoes.

In March of this year, Taco Bell agreed to take responsibility for the
abysmal conditions faced by farmworkers who pick its tomatoes.  The
agreement established a partnership between Yum Brands, Taco Bell's
parent company, and the CIW and set several important precedents for
social responsibility in the fast-food industry.  Among those
precedents, Taco Bell agreed to pay a penny more per pound for the
tomatoes it buys from Florida growers -- an increase that could nearly
double workers' sub-poverty wages -- and to establish the first-ever
enforceable Code of Conduct for US agricultural suppliers.

Yet despite strong public support for the ground-breaking agreement,
McDonald's has steadfastly refused to follow Taco Bell's lead on this
simple path to justice.

Now comes the news that McDonald's has announced that it will offer
only
fair trade coffee in more than 650 of its restaurants from New York to
Maine. Fair trade coffee is a laudable initiative whereby major coffee
buyers, such as McDonalds, agree to pay a premium price
-- above market price -- so that workers who grow and pick their
coffee
can receive a fair wage and improved working conditions.

While McDonald's should be commended for addressing economic injustice
in its coffee supply chain, it continues to pay the artificially low
market price for tomatoes, a price that leaves farmworkers locked in
poverty and sweatshop conditions.

At the press conference ending the Taco Bell boycott, CIW member and
2003 RFK Human Rights Award Laureate Lucas Benitez addressed the vast
network of boycott allies directly, saying, "Our work together is not
done. Now we must convince other companies that they have the power to
change the way they do business and the way workers are treated."

So, this Thanksgiving season, when we traditionally celebrate the
harvest, let us also celebrate the harvesters. Join the CIW in calling
on the world's largest restaurant chain to stop dragging its feet and
to
work with the CIW to improve the wages and working conditions for the
men and women who pick its tomatoes.

Contact McDonald's today and demand they, too, pay a fair price for
their tomatoes and work with the CIW to end human rights violations in
the fields!

To participate in this important action  go to
http://www.unionvoice.org/campaign/mcdonalds/
ask your friends, family, and everyone you know to do the same.

Thank you,
the Coalition of Immokalee Workers

http://www.ciw-online.org





Farm workers target McDonald's to boost wages for tomato pickers.  A
farm workers' advocacy group says the tomatoes slapped on that Big Mac
are worth just a little more than McDonald's pays for them, and it is
calling on the company to pay more for the fruit to boost wages of
Florida farm workers.

on Knowledge, Culture & Change in Organisations, Tuscany, 11-14 July 2006

*****  To join INSNA, visit http://www.insna.org  *****

To be held at the in Prato, Italy, (in Tuscany, 30 minutes by train from
Florence and 15 minutes from the Florence International Airport) from
Tuesday 11th to Friday 14th July 2006, the 6th International Conference on
Knowledge, Culture & Change in Organisation will address a range of
critically important themes in the various fields investigating 'Knowledge',
'Culture' and 'Change' in Organisations. Main speakers will include some of
the world's leading thinkers in the field of management, as well as numerous
paper, colloquium and workshop presentations by practitioners, teachers and
researchers.

The  primary  interest  of  the  conference  is  knowledge-based social and
economic  change.  Driven  by globalisation and advances in information and
communications technologies, this change has been characterised in terms of
emerging  information/knowledge  societies  and  a  global  knowledge-based
economy.  Organisational  Networks  provide  a  significant  stream  in the
conference.

The  conference  will offer a comprehensive overview of current thinking in
the  area  broadly described as knowledge management. Its perspectives will
range  from  big  picture  analyses in keynote addresses by internationally
recognised  experts in the field of management, to detailed case studies of
management  practice.  It  will  traverse  a broad terrain, from theory and
analysis to practical strategies for action.

Presenters  have  the opportunity to submit their papers for refereeing and
publication  in  The International Journal of Knowledge, Culture and Change
in Organisations.

Subject: NAPA E-Newsletter: March 2006



Dear Glenn Brown,

March 8, 2006

Greetings from a wet and windy Chicago. After this rather unseasonable
winter (warm, cold, warm, cold, etc.), it seems as if March is doing its
"lion" thing. Only time will tell if the lamb will follow. In the meantime,
our jonquils are already 3-4 inches tall - and yet we're sure to get at
least one or two more snowfalls. Such is the fate of spring flowers in
Chicago.

There is no particular "theme" to this newsletter, but I do have a number of
reminders and announcements to pass on. So here goes...

Although there have not been any great, earth-shaking events going on for
NAPA, it seems like this has been a very busy winter. Now, with the SfAA
meetings looming, and the deadline for AAA abstract submissions just a few
weeks away, I guess spring is really just around the corner. So here is a
reminder: if you plan to submit an abstract for a symposium or a paper for
AAA 2006, the deadline is March 31st this year - since April 1 falls on a
Saturday. And - that is when many of us will be at SfAA in Vancouver - so
plan ahead! If you are still thinking about a NAPA-sponsored invited
session, you must contact Eve Pinsker, NAPA Program Chair, right away. Her
email is epinsker@....

If you are thinking about a workshop, or already have one you want to
present, contact Leni Bohren, our workshop coordinator. Her email is
bohren@.... NAPA has had great success with our workshops and
we are always looking for new topics.

While we're thinking about SfAA - I want to remind you all that the NAPA
spring board meeting will be on Friday afternoon, March 31, from 1:30 to
5:00 or so, in the King George Room. All NAPA members are welcome to attend
(and contribute). Immediately following the board meeting, we will be
hosting our annual bash. The party is from 5:30 to about 7:30, and will be
held in the Oxford Room. Please plan on attending and bring along a
prospective new member. Students are especially welcome.

And while I'm on the topic of reminders: we are still looking for NAPA
members to join our various new committees. Positions are available on the
Membership Committee, the Nominations Committee, the Publications Policy
Committee, and the Organizational Relations Task Force. Please let me know
if you are interested in volunteering for any of these committees. I want to
thank those members that have already responded - you will be contacted
soon. Things are just taking a little longer than expected. The same is true
for the membership survey I promised you back in January. But, it is coming.

Lisa Kingston is the NAPA website content editor. Working with Eliot Lee,
our NAPA webmaster, she has been doing a terrific job of keeping our web
site up to date with news stories, job listings, and other timely
information. In order to streamline the process, if you have an
announcement, news item, or job listing to post on the website, please send
it directly to Lisa. Her email address is:
webcontenteditor@.... Also, remember that you can
access and update your own information by logging in to the website. You do
not need to do that through the webmaster or Lisa.

Here's another reminder. I must have ten strings tied on my fingers tonight.
However, I recently referred a NAPA member to ANTHAP, and found out that she
was not familiar with this listserv. Although it is not very active right
now, ANTHAP is alive and could be better - but that depends upon users
taking advantage of this great resource. ANTHAP is a listserv for
applied/practicing anthropologists, and is open to all NAPA and SfAA
members. We used to have some pretty lively discussions - and could again,
but it only works if we use it. The address is anthap@....

We are still looking for NAPA members who would like to get more involved
and serve on some of the new (and established) NAPA committees. These
include: Communications Committee, Mentor Program Committee, Membership
Committee, Ethics Training Program Committee, Employment Program Work Group,
Organizational Relations Committee, Publications Committee, and Nominations
Committee. In some cases we especially need people with specialized skills,
(i.e., marketing for the publications committee) but we need everyone's help
overall. Please let me know if you can participate. I also want to thank
those of you who have already stepped forward. We are getting organized and
will be implementing actions very soon, so stay tuned.

Following is a request for submissions that I received from Stacy Lathrop at
AAA. Please respond directly to her (email appears below). This is a great
opportunity for NAPA members to get their message out about the
contributions of practicing/applied anthropologists and what we do.

Seeing Humans, Society and Culture in Globalization

Corporations, firms, NGOs, non-profits, governments, universities,
policymakers and a host of other entities comprised of humans interact daily
in global networks. They are underpinned, for the most part, by a neoliberal
framework constructed in assumptions about rational choices. Many
anthropologists study these networks, frameworks and assumptions, grounding
them within particular sociocultural contexts. Anthropology, however, has
yet to engage in an exploration of its own assumptions, findings and
responses to "globalization" in an attempt to integrate our anthropological
understanding of these processes, to evaluate the questions that frame
research and advocacy and the methods used in carrying these out, and to
communicate our contributions in this area of research to our discipline,
policymakers and the public.

Anthropology News thus invites readers to contribute short commentaries of
1,000-1,200 words or research reports of 600-800 words that address the
following questions and issues.

How do anthropologists understand globalization? How do anthropologists
study these processes? What are the methodological challenges in studying
globalization? How should anthropologists now direct their research on
globalization?

What does anthropology contribute to studies on globalization that other
fields of study, such as economics, political science and sociology, could
miss? What are the possibilities for multi-disciplinary collaborations?

How do and should anthropologists understand globalization historically? How
can biological anthropologists and archaeologists contribute to place
globalization in historical context? What new forms of consumption and
global capitalism are currently emerging?

What entities (for example, World Bank, IMF, WTO) play a key role in
directing and regulating globalization today? What entities (for example,
NGOs, transnational networks and UN policies) have emerged in response? What
role(s) do anthropologists play within and in relation to these entities-as
employees, consultants, ethnographers, activists?

How do neoliberal policies impact humans? Is resistance positive in terms of
locals' relations to neoliberal globalization? What case stories exist of
such resistance? How else do humans relate to neoliberal policies, both
successfully and unsuccessfully?

What systems of local, national, regional and international regulations of
global markets and trade have existed and are emerging? What are the best
ways of understanding the efficacy of these systems anthropologically?

What are the new languages of protest and globalization activism? What role
do new technologies and media play in these protests? What role should
anthropologists have in these movements as scholars and citizens? And how
should or should not anthropological research inform advocacy?

What new categories of identity have emerged as a result of neoliberal
policies? How are these identities embodied, contested and related to other
identities? What new rights and ideas of social justice have emerged in
response to these new identities?

What role do new technologies play in new forms of global labor (for
instance, outsourcing, reconfiguring production practices)?

How have globalization studies de-stabilized ideas about
"modernity/traditional" in development studies? Are new binaries of "global
forces" and "local places" or "local authenticity" and "global domination"
useful? What about new studies on "cosmopolitanism"?

How do other domains of human existence (such as ethics, politics,
academics, family, journalism, art, environment, health) become reconfigured
through metaphors grounded in neoliberal frameworks? What are the
consequences of such borrowings? What role do institutions play in these
processes?

Anthropology News invites the submission of ideas, brief articles (400-800
words) and lengthier commentaries (1,000-1,400 words) on this topic and
these questions. Using examples from their own research and disciplines,
contributors are requested to submit their thoughts as an email attachment
to Stacy Lathrop, AN Managing Editor, slathrop@....

Finally, I want to remind you all that this e-newsletter is a great way to
disseminate information to NAPA members. Just send me your announcement or
information, and I will be sure to include it the next e-newsletter.

NAPA President

Subject: NAPA e-Newsletter: March 2006: Addendum



Dear Glenn Brown,

As an "addendum" to my e-newsletter of last week, I have been asked to
circulate the following two announcements.  Please follow up with the
contacts listed, and not with me.

Micki Iris

1.  Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work

CSCW 2006, the ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work, is the
premier venue for presenting research and development achievements in the
design, introduction, and use of technology that affect groups,
organizations, communities and societies.  CSCW is soliciting
multidisciplinary proposals for its conference November 4-8, 2006 in Banff
Canada. The deadline is March 17th. More details can be found on the
website:  http://www.cscw2006.org/.  Also note that Jonathan Grudin at
Microsoft is soliciting software tutorials for the conference. You can
contact Jonathan for more  info: jgrudin@...


2.  High Plans Society for Applied Anthropology Spring Conference

Abstracts for presentations at the High Plains Society for Applied
Anthropology (HPSfAA) Spring Conference are due Wednesday, March 15th. You
can e-mail them to Conference Chair Joseph Hamer at cascades@..., or
mail them to: HPSfAA Conference Chair, 2725 SE Washington St., Milwaukie, OR
(97222). For more information on the conference visit the website:
http://www.hpsfaa.org.

Conference Info:  Dates: April 28 - 30, 2006, Place: Estes Park YMCA Camp,
Estes Park, Colorado

Conference Theme: "Webbed Anthropology: Articulating the Relationships
Involved in Our Efforts to Improve the World"

To apply anthropology is to enter into larger networks and movements
centered in social justice, cultural pluralism, sustainability, and more
specific contemporary human challenges. Looking broadly at our domains of
application, and our relationships to the various actors therein, is
strategically important in a globalized world where culture and power are
becoming ever more complex. In this context it could also prove insightful
to explore how our theories of social change inform our choices of how and
where to work.

This year's conference theme, "Webbed Anthropology," is intended to cause
reflection on the variety of relationships we cultivate in our work. Who are
we working for, with, and against? How has our training in anthropology
helped us to collaborate with people from other disciplines and from
organizations of various sorts? How do we interact with those in positions
of power? And what are we doing in the way of community empowerment and
participation? Finally, what associations need yet be made to address social
problems successfully?

For more information, visit the HPSfAA website, http://www.hpsfaa.org, or
contact Conference Chair Joseph Hamer at cascades@....
