Faculty Presentation
On Feb. 17, 2016, Professor Ken Nystrom gave a talk at the Sojourner Truth Library (Lobby Gallery @ 4 p.m.) entitled "Race, Poverty, and the Structural Violence of Dissection in 19th century United States." In the talk, Professor Nystrom discussed the structural violence experienced by blacks and the poor manifested in the illegal (and legal) appropriation of their dead for anatomical study. Specifically, Nystrom looked at skeletal evidence of dissection recovered from historic cemeteries that speak to how these groups were marginalized and did not have the political or economic means to stop this type of activity.
CULTURAL MODELS OF NATURE, CLIMATE CHANGE AND FARMING IN A TIME OF INSTABILITY PERSPECTIVES OF THE LITHUANIAN FARMER
The Anthropology Department would like to you to attend a talk by our own Victor DeMunck who has spent the last two years in Lithuania teaching and conducting research. Apologies for the short notice, but we hope to see you there!
CULTURAL MODELS OF NATURE, CLIMATE CHANGE AND FARMING IN A TIME OF INSTABILITY PERSPECTIVES OF THE LITHUANIAN FARMER I use a cultural models approach to study how Lithuanian farmers view nature and climate change and whether their views influence their actions as farmers. Much research on cultural models of nature argue that those producers who view themselves as a part of, rather than as separate from nature, are more likely to enact sustainable sorts of actions that do not “harm” nature. At the same time, Kahan (2010; 2015) has shown that U.S. farmers among others, tend to think locally through their identities. Thus, it becomes interesting to understand how global climate change is understood and acted on locally by farmers.
