SCOPA members will be interested to learn that Richard Estabrook (MA,
Applied Anthropology USF) has been appointed Director and Public
Archaeologist at the FPAN Tampa Bay Center.  The FPAN Tampa Center,
based at the nationally recognized Museum of Science and Industry
(MOSI) in Tampa, will assist educators, government agencies, local
archaeological and historical groups, and the public to explore,
interpret, and protect Tampa Bay's rich archaeological heritage.  The
FPAN Tampa Bay Center is one of the three charter Public Archaeology
Centers that will be operational this summer
(http://www.flpublicarchaeology.org).

Richard has more than two decades of experience with the archaeology
of the central Florida, having conducted more than 500 archaeological
assessment surveys, 39 site evaluations, and seven major
excavations.  His research interests include lithic technology,
experimental archaeology, and computer applications in archaeology.
He plans to bring his enthusiasm for stone tools and field
archaeology to the Center.

Contact information is not complete; indeed, the new paint at the
FPAN Tampa Bay Center is not yet dry. However, you can contact Rich
through the USF Anthropology Department at 831.974.2138 or
restabro@....

you know, it seems to me that it might be a good use of this list for
people to introduce themselves so we know everyone who is involved in
anthropology locally.  Just a thought.  It was good to learn about
Richard so it might be nice for all of us to hear from each other.

Dear Glenn Brown,

July 20, 2006

I hope everyone is having a good summer - and not swealtering too much.
Here's my garden update:  the squirrels are really enjoying the geraniums!

One of NAPA's major activities this year will be co-sponsorship of the 2nd
EPIC conference (Ethnographic Praxis in Industry).  This was a great
conference last year - so we are hoping that more NAPA members will get
involved and attend this coming fall.  The conference will be held at
Intel's Portland Oregon research campus - which should be a terrific
setting.  The dates are September 24-26, 2006.  There is a discounted
registration for NAPA members.  All registrants will also receive a hard
copy of the conference proceedings.

This conference offers a really unique opportunity for people to network in
a relaxed setting with applied ethnographers from a "Who's Who" of private
sector employers.  For those looking for career opportunities in this area,
EPIC will be a terrific venue for meeting potential employers and making
contact.

For more information, visit the EPIC website at  www.epic2006.com .

  Central Park Village Relocation Project

USF Collaborative for Children, Families and Communities

This is an invitation to participate in a planning meeting to mobilize USF resources in social science/social work, planning, health, education, aging, and transportation to aid low income families in Tampa who are facing imminent relocation from Central Park Village, a downtown housing project slated for demolition and redevelopment. USF is in a unique position to offer researchable questions that will have broader impact on Central Park Village as well as on the surrounding neighborhood.

Planning meeting.  On August 24^th, 2006, we will hold a planning meeting to discuss ideas for aiding the residents who are scheduled for relocation.  It will be held at the Florida Mental Health Institute, Room MHC 1503 from 10:00am to 12:00noon.  We are hoping to attract faculty, staff, and students from across the university whose expertise and research interests intersect with the needs of the relocation process.  Representatives of the Tampa Housing Authority and Central Park Village residents will also attend to outline their goals and begin a dialogue about the assistance we might provide.  Please let me know if you are planning on attending via email rpuddy@... or 974-7318.

Background. In February 2005, the Collaborative sponsored a day-long community forum to explore potential problems associated with prospective redevelopment of the Central Park facility and to identify areas of university-community collaboration in ameliorating these problems. Eighteen months later, redevelopment plans are nearly complete. The purpose of the proposed Collaborative effort is to follow up on suggestions that came forth in the 2005 forum (http://www.usfcollab.usf.edu/neighborhoodsdetail.cfm?areaID=5), as well as needs that have been identified since that event. 

About 1300 residents of Central Park Village will be relocated over the next year.  This process began in mid-July with a small number of emergency cases.  Large scale relocations are anticipated to start in the next 2-3 months.

Residents who will undergo this experience may improve the quality of their housing and neighborhood environments.  However, the transition will be challenging in significant ways. 

1.                  Many children will have to change schools. 

2.                  Youth will be exposed to new and potentially hostile neighborhood social systems.

3.                  Working adults without cars will have to negotiate unfamiliar and largely inadequate public transit services. 

4.                  Parents will need to secure child care and after school programs compatible with their new residential locations. 

5.                  People with disabilities or health problems will need to readjust their access to medical and other needed services.  Elderly residents will confront many new challenges.

6.                  Families and friends will find it more difficult to maintain contact with each other. 

Please join us to explore ways that the faculty, staff, and students at USF might be helpful to the residents who are going through this process.  This situation offers opportunities for both research and service learning.  It also provides a potential site for volunteerism, especially with tutoring and mentoring.  If you want to be involved, but cannot attend this meeting, or would like further information about it, please contact Susan Greenbaum (greenbau@...; 974-0777), Cheryl Rodriguez (crodrigu@...; 974-4435), or Harold Keller (hkeller@...;  974-6709).

SCOPA members may not have noticed this paragraph at the bottom of
the call I posted Aug 13 about Central Park Village:

Please join us to explore ways that the faculty, staff, and students
at USF might be helpful to the residents who are going through this

Dr. Greenbaum says this can be a good opportunity for SCOPA members
to get involved in the helpful ways we have been calling for.  Now
let's respond!

Please attend this meeting at USF about Central Park Village!

I am on vacation next week and I cannot make it but it is similar to
some of the work we have done with farmworkers and post-hurricane
victims. Good luck! Please keep FICS in the loop. Alayne and staff

Subject: RE: AAA meeting new options

Greetings again:

I did not realize the CALPO folks were scheduled Friday am. That pretty much requires us to meet for lunch, 12:30-2:30.  But that means our NY rep is tied up and can't attend, and there is also some other activity Fri afternoon.

So, I want to throw out the possibility of meeting for breakfast on Saturday, say 8:30-10:30. We'll have to make one of those two possibilities work.

Let your voice be heard!

cheers,
terry

Hi all,

I’ve replied to all to do a little marketing as well as cast my vote. CALPO folks will be busy presenting on Friday morning during the 10:15 – 12:00 slot in a session organized by Jim Mullooly -- please attend!! Seven of us will participate in a session titled: California's Local Practitioner Organizations: Critical Intersections in Applied Anthropology. That said, I would prefer a post-presentation (noon-2) LPO gathering.

Subject: LPO stuff for AAA meeting

Greetings everyone:

It's that time again for me to shake off the dust and get active again. Although I complain about the summer heat, it sure seems to fly by.

In any case I need a quick vote from everyone, as in the next few days, as to whether you would rather hold a 8 to 10 am breakfast type thing, or a noon to 2 p.m. meeting at the AAA meeting in November in San Jose. The date would be Friday, Nov. 17. This will be more than a meet&greet, I hope, and I will work to find us a space where we call all talk and be heard.

I would like to really hear about issues, concerns and problems that LPOs have, and whether we can brainstorm possible solutions, including those that would include NAPA support. For example, I am a member of WAPA and we always have a problem with tracking and maintaining membership lists. Maybe it's time to talk to NAPA again about piggybacking on their website to use their online system...

Of course we should also share success stories; those things you have been doing that gets an enthusiastic response from members, etc.

As we mostly know each other now, we will pass on the usual "state of the LPO" updates. We will introduce two new LPOs from Boston and New York, and it is hoped someone from those two groups will attend, as well as San Francisco, a rep from which has not yet been to one of our gatherings.

NAPA will have a table at the meeting as as usual you are encouraged to develop an organization flyer to hand out. This should be especially useful and important to the CALPO folks; meetings in your back yard should help recruit some new members.

So, let me know about whether you want to meet Friday am or pm. Neither time is great but they are mutually problematic for everyone. Those who submit opinions by next week will hold sway with the final schedule.

Please mention to your membership that we will need to fill time slots at the booth for the three days (one LPO member and one NAPA member at all times, Thurday to Saturday, 9 to 4).

Hope all is well otherwise. Please return to your normally scheduled summer activities.....

cheers,
terry

Not to confuse things, but I was asked a while back to forward this information about the SfAA meeting in Tampa next year. This has nothing to do with AAA or NAPA, it's just an FYI for those members of your groups who are not SfAA members but might want to attend or present.

I still think it is a good idea to explore the concept of a roundtable
for this meeting...it would allow more participation, even if it is less
formal. It would be like a large focus group of sorts and I think it
would reflect well on the USF program. From there, John's got a good
point, we could solicit abstract/papers for PA or some other venue.

The other advantage of a roundtable might be that if people are already
committed to sessions, they should still be able to contribute to
roundtables...they don't count the same. In the past, that was the case
but we could check with the program chairs.

Subject: Update on AAA LPO activities

Greetings:

We have received our booth assignment from AAA and it is a pretty small table. If you are bringing materials to the booth, think 'compact.'

That said, the meeting is only 6 weeks away and I hope all of you, especially the folks with new LPOs, will be able to bring some sort of information/membership flyer to pass out at the table.

Towards the end of this month I will start filling in the schedule for staffing the booth, so I hope each of you will be able to recruit a few members to participate for an hour or so. The booth hours will be Thurs to Sat, 9 to 4. We also need instant mentors, so feel free to volunteer or recommend someone. Please pass the word to your members as possible.

There are several scheduling conflicts at this year's meeting, and it looks like Friday (11-17) is the least conflictive overall. CALPO has a session until noon, so I would like to propose that we have a meeting/luncheon from 12:30 to 2 pm. The theme for the meeting will be a needs assessment; that is, what are the greatest needs of your LPO, and how can these be realistically met.

Since time is short we will not do an introduction/overview for each LPO. Most of you know each other now but we will introduce those new LPO members. We also hope that the New York LPO rep will be able to make it for the last minutes, as her workshop is over at 1:30.

It is my understanding that there is a new SfAA LPO liaison coming on board: Bill Roberts, who is the current co-editor of Practicing Anthropology. We hope Bill will be able to strong-arm SfAA in being more helpful with LPO development efforts! As ever you should remember to send your news items to both SfAA and NAPA newsletter coordinators.

At present we are trying to find a quiet venue where we can meet and eat and still hear ourselves. I hope to have this sorted out soon.

So, develop your flyers and find a few folks for the booth, and consult with your members as to your group's greatest needs. I look forward to seeing everyone!

best wishes,
terry

Subject: Your LPO Needs Assessment

Hi folks:

If someone could take the lead on this for SCOPA and send a reply, that would be great.

Below are a few questions to help me get a sense of what the needs are for each LPO. Your response will help shape the upcoming LPO luncheon/needs assessment agenda. All LPOs are different, of course, so getting a handle on this is tricky; your quick response would really be helpful. I'll be back in touch soon with more details on the lunch, which is currently scheduled for Friday, Nov. 17, from 12:15 to 1:30, in one of the convention center ballrooms.

Please reply to this message, then add your answers to the questions below.

you care about these words.

Hi there,

I am SAM, an Iraqi refugee living in Lebanon at the moment; I have spent the
last 10 years of my life as a refugee registered with the UNHCR in Beirut. The
last 4 years, I have spent as an activist for peace and human rights (especially
refugees and asylum seekers) on the Internet; I'm also books author and ebooks
publisher. I have launched many campaigns to improve our situation as refugees
in Lebanon and hopefully bring more understanding to our problems worldwide. I
helped make many changes and improvements at the UNHCR office in Beirut; I used
the Internet as the field for my activities (you can read more about that in my
free ebook 'MY CAMPAIGNS'). All my ebooks are free and could be download from my
sites.

This is my newest campaign, it's about the illegal and humiliating actions of
the UNHCR, who using photos of refugees as banners and human-buttons to collect
money. This is an abuse of the dignity and humanity of the refugees and must
stop immediately and a clear public apology present by The United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees. My friends, I am talking about the pictures you can
see here:
http://un4.pochta.ru/human-buttons.htm

Where you can read the rest of this message as web page.

Also you can read my new campaign 'Urgent, we need smile' here:

For more info about UNHCR and life of refugees you can read my free ebooks. I
invite you as fellow humans and members of the world community to support my
campaign by reading my article on my site and see the human-buttons. The
campaign is to support and improve the UNHCR http://www.unhcr.ch especially
after the last scandals in the UN and UNHCR, just for example:

The refugees allege that UNHCR staff is selling most of the food items they are
supposed to be supplied.
"They aren't supplying sufficient food to us because they sell most of the food
items," they allege: http://allafrica.com/stories/200503140214.html
  Here is another example: Burmese Refugees Withdraw Protest Against UNHCR 
http://www.mizzima.com/archives/news-in-2005/news-in-april/12-April05-22.htm

"We make demonstration and fast because the UNHCR office in Cairo did nothing
for our problem..." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4440730.stm

Together we will build better world.

Subject: LPO Luncheon Plans

Hello Everyone:

I have attached a rough agenda with details on our Friday luncheon. If you do not receive the attachment let me know. As you can see we are on a very tight schedule; this means we'll have to stay on task. The CALPO folks are going to have a busy day...

Also attached is a list of attendees to date. Please review this to ensure accuracy. If no one is listed by your LPO it means I have not received a confirmation for an attendee. Some of you have already alerted me that no one can attend from your group, but if I have missed someone please let me know.

Thanks to those of you who submitted needs assessments. They will be useful for the luncheon. If you have not done so, please consider jotting a few lines relating the state of your organization.

There are probably other items to mention but this should do for now. If you have a special order wish for your lunch sandwich please stop by the booth on Thursday and leave a request. I'll make the lunch run friday morning!

As mentioned in a prior message, we still need booth volunteers, and all LPOs should try to send an information sheet for the booth.

cheers for now, and I look forward to seeing everyone next friday. That's only a week away!

USF Department of Anthropology Second in U.S. in Public Engagement

 

TAMPA, Fla. (Jan. 18, 2007) – The University of South Florida’s department of anthropology is second in the nation in public engagement, according to a recent ranking by the Hawaii-based Center for Public Anthropology.

 

The ranking assesses academic departments’ levels of public visibility and engagement, using factors such as citations in public media, collaborative programs involving the community, and the engaged scholarship and outreach of individual faculty members.

The USF department of anthropology is widely recognized for its focus on applied anthropology, and has several active engaged units, including the Alliance for Applied Research in Education and Anthropology, the Center for Applied Anthropology, and the West Central Regional Public Archaeology Center.

 

“This is an excellent recognition of the department’s national visibility,” said Elizabeth Bird, chairperson of the anthropology department at USF. “It is especially gratifying that this came just as USF is being recognized by the Carnegie Foundation as an Engaged Institution; we certainly believe we have contributed to this in a significant way.”

 

Bird and fellow anthropology department faculty member Susan Greenbaum were listed with more than 50 citations in the public media, as determined by a LexisNexis search.

Among the programs that led to the USF anthropology department’s high ranking:

 

• The Alliance for Applied Research in Anthropology and Education (AAREA), a research group led by Kathy Borman, one of USF’s “Million Dollar Researchers.” AAREA coordinates several major grants (NSF, DOE etc) that conduct research in schools and universities looking at the effectiveness of educational reforms and programs

 

• The West Central Regional Public Archaeology Center, part of the Florida Public Archaeology Network. Funded by state funds through the department, and housed at the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa, the center (and the network’s) goal is to increase public awareness and education about archaeology. Another goal of Public Archaeology is the preservation of fragile prehistoric and historic sites past that are being destroyed at an alarming rate through natural process and development.

 

• The annual Field School in Costa Rica: Globalization and Health, led by Nancy Romero-Daza and David Himmelgreen, which trains students in applied research methods; students then carry out original research on topics designed by community members, such as HIV/AIDS prevention and nutritional issues, and present results to the community.

 

• Multiple faculty applied projects, partnering USF faculty and students with communities in the U.S. and abroad.

 

• Multiple public outreach activities, including the USF anthropology department’s series of radio programs in 2006  year with WMNF Radio, our workshop for public school teachers on Teaching Evolution, or work being done to provide forensic training to law enforcement personnel.

 

The ranking included 394 schools, with Michigan State University at the top, followed in the Top 10 by USF; University of Pennsylvania; Arizona State University; University of California, Berkeley; Emory University; University of Arizona; University of California, Irvine; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; Boston University; and University of Washington.

 

The assessment was done through a survey of anthropology faculty members throughout the United States, with a response rate of over 40%; a total of 394 schools were included in the assessment. 

 

The University of South Florida is one of the nation’s top 63 public research universities as designated by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. USF received more than $310 million in research contracts and grants in 2005,  and it is ranked by the National Science Foundation as one of two of the nation’s fastest growing universities in terms of federal research and development expenditures.  The university has a $1.6 billion annual budget and serves 44,038 students on campuses in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota/Manatee and Lakeland. USF is a member of the Big East Athletic Conference.
