En Guatemala rural e indígena, la atención médica para las mujeres, es fragmentada e inadecuada. Nuestro equipo de investigación interdisciplinario y multinacional, tuvo como objetivo: 1) describir la situación de la salud reproductiva en una comunidad Indígena rural; 2) explorar el uso de anticonceptivos; y 3) conocer y priorizar las creencias y necesidades de salud reproductiva de las mujeres Indígenas Mayas. Nuestro equipo de estudio realizó encuestas de métodos mixtos con 62 mujeres, dirigió grupos de enfoque con 20 promotores de salud comunitarios y analizó los datos, utilizando análisis de métodos mixtos concurrentes. Encontramos que el 51% de las mujeres que entrevistamos, reportaron planificación familiar actual, con el 33% que utilizó un método biomédico. Encontramos una fecundidad media alta, 6,9 nacidos vivos por mujer de 40 a 49 años (promedio nacional 4,7), con una importante variación socioeconómica. También encontramos que la pobreza se correlacionó con la fecundidad total, mientras que la educación se correlacionó inversamente. Nuestra investigación encontró que el uso de anticonceptivos tenía una fuerte asociación con el acceso a la atención médica y con la autonomía sexual reportada por las mujeres (que instrumentalizamos en base a las respuestas de las mujeres a la pregunta “¿puede negarse a tener relaciones sexuales con su esposo?”). Muchas mujeres con las que hablamos, temían la contracepción. Específicamente se preocuparon, de que pudiera causar cáncer. En general, las mujeres Indígenas guatemaltecas expresaron su inquietud por buscar atención médica reproductiva dentro de los sistemas de salud que, histórica y actualmente, han excluido y maltratado a las comunidades Indígenas. Nuestra investigación documentó influencias no exploradas sobre el uso de anticonceptivos, que incluyen la relación entre la autonomía sexual y la contracepción y la preocupación generalizada por el cáncer con el uso de contracepción. Seguimos adelante con la esperanza de que nosotros y otros investigadores, sigamos colaborando con las comunidades para mejorar la salud reproductiva de las mujeres Indígenas.

Evaluations justify resource allocations and shape future actions. In settings working to improve health and economic mobility, this is a high-stakes activity. Program evaluations often focus on the topic at hand, leaving the issue of race and race relations (historical and present) out as the work of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts and not central to program implementation. However, many of the programs we are hired to evaluate involve populations living out the legacy impacts of structural racism and discrimination. This article acknowledges different forms of resistance experienced when integrating questions about racism into evaluations. It draws on my experience in a collaborative process of creating a guide intended to be used with stakeholders. I present challenges that others setting out to include structural racism and discrimination into processes of evaluation may encounter and highlight how the qualitative interview process is itself an intervention in facilitating reflection and action.

While the academic community has embraced the social sciences as a necessary and valuable discipline, translating skills developed in academia to the broader community continues to be a challenge. The challenge presents itself more as a lack of understanding as to what a social scientist does than a lack of applicable skills. In fact, by the discipline’s very goal of aligning complex problems with scientific methodology, the social scientist gains a wide range of skills that span market demand. These skills include those designed to persuade through effective communication, those designed to question status quo assumptions and lay the foundation for better understanding, and those designed to demonstrate leadership through mentoring, coaching, and teaching. I identify at least eighteen directly translatable skills along these three themes that benefit those who transition from academic to practical environments.

In this paper, I shed light on some of the realities I encountered while conducting research in Tribal Studies. In this paper, I discuss the attitude of officials in the departments in charge of protecting and improving the well-being of tribes and obstacles to fieldwork. This article is an outcome of extensive fieldwork carried out in the Attappady region of Palakkad District, Kerala, India. Data used for the article is solely culled from the conversations conducted in the field. These conversations are recorded and presented without sacrificing spirit or essence. I omit the conversations from other related studies to maintain the value of these conversations outside of the research context. I end the article with the conclusion that research involving Indigenous People must always include Indigenous perspectives and opinions.
