Abstract In this article, faculty members from three United States colleges and universities reflect upon mentoring undergraduate research in cultural anthropology and consider the educational and practice-based outcomes of student mentorship. Following a multi-year experience jointly mentoring students, we discuss our trajectories, lessons, and challenges in learning to support and advise undergraduate researchers. We reflect upon the impact of the “lone ethnographer” mentality as well as the possibilities of collaborative research, seeing the university as a site for ethnographic research and developing experiential programs. Collectively, we highlight the need to expand not only options for students to engage in primary research design, data collection, and analysis but also for anthropology departments and institutions to support instructors who prioritize student research opportunities and to provide training so that more instructors may do so confidently.

Abstract This brief article summarizes the life and work of Dr. Doren Leslie Slade (1945-2019) while honoring her legacy, as she stands as a role model of an eclectic applied anthropologist turned psychoanalyst. She conducted intensive field research among the Nahuat of the North Sierra of Mexico's state of Puebla, concentrating on the town of Chignautla. Her focus was on aspects of the Chignautecos' quotidian corpus of beliefs – which she defined as their cosmology - that have survived for centuries, as she narrated it originally in her doctoral dissertation for the University of Pittsburgh. Years later, back home in New York City, Doren became one of the few anthropologists to obtain the difficult license to provide psychoanalytic therapy in the U.S. Then, in 1992, she published a landmarking thick ethnographic book based on her field research, but also armed with her new insights, if retrospectively, as an experienced practicing psychoanalyst. Her multi-faceted professional career is exemplary of an applied/practicing anthropologist.

Abstract Debates about tenure in American higher education have focused on morally freighted exemplary cases rather than the dynamics of organizational systems. This approach has generally assumed that tenure represents a financial drag on institutions. An analysis of tenure's organizational effects, however, reveals a more complex picture. Tenure supports a range of institutional practices that have direct—and calculable—resource implications. A detailed analysis for a public comprehensive college in the northeastern United States shows that the financial costs of ending tenure would substantially exceed the savings realized. Implications are drawn for American higher education and anthropological studies of complex institutions.

Abstract Although scholars are becoming more industrious with their research output, access to research resources may be an issue. Data and research show that in the past few years, libraries have been undergoing financial strain. With limited funds, libraries have had to be creative with how money is allocated and push for a shift in the traditional research culture. Flattened and continuing declines in library budgets cannot compete with the rate of inflation. Anthropological research focused on museum collections and culture of collecting highlights the importance of connecting material objects with their creators and communities. This presentation discusses the value of libraries working with researchers to reframe how academic output is controlled, accessed, and shared.

Abstract Increasingly, research focuses on challenges associated with people threatened by disasters but who refuse evacuation without their pets. Less attention is paid to decision making processes and costs of evacuating or sheltering-in-place with pets. Pet owners consider whether or not to evacuate, but—importantly—they also consider the financial costs of staying at pet-friendly shelters, securing necessary supplies for safe pet evacuation, and the impact of pet preparation on evacuation timing (temporal costs). Decision making is compounded by the risks they face, the preparations necessary, and their perceived impact on their animals. Those without pets in their household can be impacted by those with pets, as people often make evacuation decisions in groups. We detail the influence these factors have on evacuation decision making and close with a discussion of the implications for disaster planning.

Abstract For Maya communities in southern Belize, environmental and cultural heritage is not a static entity but an everyday lived experience. In this paper, we critically examine this living heritage through reflections on a series of collaborative heritage projects in Mopan and Q'eqchi' Maya communities in southern Belize. We collaborated with community members, community-based organization leaders, and archaeologists to exchange knowledge about land use and land management in the context of supporting and sustaining cultural heritage knowledge and practice. Building on long-term ethno-graphic research in a village with an archaeological site located on community lands, we designed a series of activities utilizing multiple pathways in support of the maintenance of heritage. We consider how sociocultural anthropologists navigate community/archaeology collaborations, documenting the successes and challenges of these groups working together and describing points of tension that have yet to be resolved but reflect broader patterns of negotiated heritage in Belize and beyond.
