description: This resource is an application for the Fejos Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. This is a collective film project based on my field-work in Sierra Leone, amongst polio-disabled people living in self-sustaining communities. Through the story of a young disabled boy, Manish, the film captures how historical time and its macro-political work (war and peacebuilding) shape the micro-realities of individual lives. Manish is a war-survivor and he squats with many of his fellow disabled in an abandoned house in Freetown: Walpole Street. He recreates there a recomposed family with two strangers, Hady and Edward, recently migrated from Guniea. The three establish a musical group, The Walpoleans, which painstakingly self-trains itself to some success. Walpole Street is evicted but the 'family' survives. Manish is tormented by his past but finds consolation in this collectivity, in music, and in the memory of Walpole Street, which becomes for him a lost paradise, but gives him also hope for the future. The ethnographic content of the film includes moments of Manish' life, the tribulations of the Walpoleans and everyday moments in the polio-squats, moments of individual and collective joy, threatened by ordinary precarity and eruptions of extraordinary events of violence. Manish' sudden death elevates his personal story to a universal level, triggering reflections about the meaning of anthropological work,vulnerability and hope, suffering and resistance amidst the conditions of present-day predatory capitalism in a shadow state. Unlike most other filmic production on disability in Africa, this project gives a true tribute to the extraordinary agency of disabled people, but it also undermines ideas about their singularity, presenting polio-disabled squaters as part of the larger community of the urban poor maintaining an ambiguous relation to public spaces and to the state.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. This research examines salvage: its different meanings, the theoretical directions it leads to, and how it contributes to understanding social life in Lebanon -a country that, for some time now, has been described as being on the brink of collapse. Among scientists repurposing microbial samples in laboratories, physicians using salvage therapies in clinics, and political activists constantly building and re-building movements and organizations, I study how salvage interacts with three different life-forms: microbial life, human life and political life. Using an array of methods - laboratory ethnography, in-depth interviews, oral histories, and document collection and analysis - these research trajectories will contribute to understanding salvage as everyday practice, as proximal to anticipated collapse, and as an analytic that reconciles practices across different kinds of life. Throughout, I bring salvage to bear on such anthropological categories as value, labor, accumulation, possession, dispossession and, by extension, one thread of social life in Lebanon. Here, living in a world that always seems to be coming to an end, this research asks: What does it mean to live a salvageable life?

description: This resource is an application for the Post PhD Research Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) living in a savanna environment at Fongoli, Senegal are the only known mammalian population besides humans that hunt with tools. Chimpanzees here use modified stick tools ('spears') to hunt nocturnal prosimians (Galago senegalensis) as they nest in tree cavities during the day. Additionally, females hunt significantly more than expected with tools, while males hunt significantly less, unlike the male-dominated hunting at all other sites where chimpanzees have been studied. With more than 400 cases now recorded, we better understand sex differences in tool-assisted hunting, but additional questions remain. Such hunting is concentrated in the early rainy season, which we initially interpreted as a consequence of increased contest competition during a period when the entire study community ranges together. Female and adolescent chimpanzees' increased hunting could be a strategy to give them access to preferred food. Testing this hypothesis as well as alternative ones related to the abiotic, biotic and social environment are critical to better understanding this unique hunting pattern, which has implications for the evolution of hunting in early hominins. Much of the data necessary for hypothesis testing are in hand, but data on prey species availability are lacking. I propose to test the opportunity and necessity hypotheses to explain tool use, which require data on Galago cavity use on a seasonal basis, as well as cavity use on a shorter temporal scale (e.g., after rainfall). In general, the proposed study promises to better inform our understanding of predator-prey relations in primates, ecological influences on hominoid hunting behavior and, subsequently, contributes to generating hypotheses about the origins of hunting in early hominins.

Association Between Dispensing Channel and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder Exacerbations Among Medicare Beneficiaries
Creators: name: Prather, April S.
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Pharmacy Administration, Policy and Regulation

description: Elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may be at increased risk of exacerbation due to physical and cognitive deficits that make proper inhaled medication adherence more difficult despite consistent medication access. This retrospective study utilized administrative medical and pharmacy claims data to examine the likelihood of having a COPD exacerbation requiring acute medical care by means of an emergency room visit or hospitalization in elderly patients receiving maintenance COPD medications from mail order and retail pharmacies. It was hypothesized that mail order patients would be more likely to experience exacerbations despite differences in medication access when compared to retail patients. The primary outcome of interest was exacerbation frequency expressed as the incidence density rate, and the secondary outcome was the proportion of days covered (PDC). The incidence rate ratio for acute exacerbations was not significantly different for mail order and retail groups, indicating patients using mail-order pharmacies were not significantly more likely to experience an exacerbation requiring acute medical care. Despite insignificant differences in incidence rates, mail order patients had significantly higher adherence rates.

description: This resource is an application for the Post PhD Research Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Seven years after the guns ceased to thunder in Northern Uganda, and four years after people left the squalid displacement camps to return home to their 'ancestral' lands, clans in rural areas in Acoliland began to create their own non-profit foundations. In doing so, many clans have had to contemplate, debate, and finally write their foundations' constitutions, mobilizing, translating, and negotiating indigenous knowledge and governance into this alternate form. These initiatives have emerged as a widespread, yet unproven, strategy in the area to address pressing contemporary social issues for members of the clan in post conflict and post displacement contexts, and congruently, in face of what has been called 'the global land rush' (RRI 2012); as a major impetus to the foundations' creations is the eventual pursuit of communal, formally titled land. A part of what I conceptualize as social repairing through refusal, these initiatives draw attention to emerging and transforming ideas and practices of relatedness, including indigenous governance, in context, and ultimately centers and questions the importance of land pressures, both internal and external, to re-elaborations of relatedness-- specifically in response to violence--through time.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. This dissertation explores the ethical self-cultivation of black Muslim youth in Philadelphia. Anthropologist Saba Mahmood describes ethical self-cultivation as a "specific sets of procedures, techniques, and exercises through which highly specific ethical-moral subjects come to be formed" (Mahmood, 2005, p.120). I consider this process as well as how it becomes racialized and gendered in the everyday lives of black Muslim youth. I suggest that this process of cultivating an Islamic self is mediated by the moral assemblage the youth encounter and must navigate. Zigon defines a moral assemblage as "a moral system [that] is not a totality that exists by itself but is rather constructed through the unique combinations of local moral and ethical beliefs" (Zigon, 2010, p.6). I explore how black Muslim youth negotiate divergent influences within this moral assemblage. More specifically, I ask: How does the process of ethical self-cultivation, achieved through specific techniques and practices within this moral assemblage, produce the kinds of ethical-moral subjects that black Muslim youth aspire to become as they strive towards their future imagined selves within secular and sacred educational spaces? How do processes of racialization and gender influence how these youth come to understand and produce themselves as ethical, educated subjects?

Even as unemployment rates fall, contract and freelance work is on the rise, and job tenures are short - the current median tenure is 4.2 years. The changes in work follow a historical shift in how Americans understand the employment contract. Under contemporary capitalism, people increasingly see themselves in business terms: they are the "CEO of me." In this perspective, hiring resembles a business-to-business contract, a short-term connection centered upon solving market-specific problems. To be employable you must represent yourself as a business of one, willing to temporarily assist other larger businesses. This has changed the nature of the employment contract, especially when combined with all the new technologies, such as the online work distribution platforms, that enable more and more temporary work relationships. When people enact neoliberal perspectives, they are often challenged by the social complexities of workplaces. This fellowship proposal is to do ethnographic research for a book examining employment contracts as a lens for understanding neoliberalism as a historically specific form of capitalism which inspires patterned forms of contradictions. These contradictions can be traced ethnographically when the demands of different professions are in tension with how labor markets now function.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. In the fishing town of Dillingham, Alaska, poet Gary Snyder once found the raucous epitome of “the working bars of the world” (1983:91). These days, however, Dillingham’s mood is decidedly dimmer as its workers develop and debate plans to restructure the Bristol Bay salmon industry, which has swung from unprecedented profitability to near insolvency in little over a decade. Although the collapse of the Alaskan salmon industry is a clear consequence of “globalization” (Knapp 2002), the conditions of Bristol Bay restructuring defy many pat assumptions about how globalization operates: a strong state and a diverse set of local resource users are the primary agents driving regulatory change in this remote corner of southwest Alaska. Yet the various restructuring options that circulate in the region’s bars, boats, and boardrooms bear a strong resemblance to the downsizing, privatizing policies that mark economic reconfiguration worldwide. How is it that the measures generated by participants’ grassroots action are so surprisingly similar to those advanced by globalization’s supra-national avatars? How do the workers of the world come to pursue policies not unlike those of the World Bank, even as they register concern about the effects of these policies on their livelihoods and communities? In what ways might this tension shape—rather than simply stymie—restructuring processes? The proposed research will answer these questions through an ethnographic examination of the Bristol Bay salmon fishery and its participants’ designs for and responses to prospective industry restructuring.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Liberal capitalist nation-states find themselves in perpetual crisis due to the structural contradictions of democratic ideals and the enduring social inequalities and violences of race. Neoliberal techniques of governance address these crises by cultivating new modes of personal responsibility and value through state-sanctioned projects of 'caring' for marginalized populations, forming new modes of social life through intimate connections of state power to marginalized populations (Collins 2015; A. Garcia 2010; Stevenson 2014). In the United States, K-12 education has been identified as a site of perpetual crisis by a market-based reform movement looking to revitalize American democratic ideals of racial equality through the development of human capital and economic mobility in the nation's schools. These reformers frame public education as an institution that has failed to close racial achievement gaps in graduation and employment rates because of entrenched state bureaucracy and teachers' unions. Alternative teacher training programs, in particular, are praised by reformers in government and civil society for cultivating empowered political subjects who, in turn, empower students to reach new levels of achievement. Nonprofit-trained teachers, then, are cultivated as privileged subjects of caring for the marginalized, embedded within nonprofit networks of evaluation, and compelled to reflect on their social position in relation to their work and wards. Situated in this context, the central question of this research project is: How does education reform reconfigure relations of neoliberal governance and privileged political subjectivity around the management of racial equality?

description: This resource is an application for the Fejos Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. The Romanian Gypsy population of Cortorari keep to conspicuously arranging their children's marriages despite repeated attempts at national and European level to eradicate the practice. Contrary to folk and policy-makers' representations of Roma marriages as cursory alliances enforced by adults on pubescent children ensuing in premature sexual intercourse, Cortorari experience their marriages (tokmeala) as composite processes unfolding over many years, which revolve around the whimsical fastening and unfastening of marital ties, the performance of gender subjectivities, the ongoing tensions between sameness and difference, and the continuous negotiation of the cash 'dowry'. Despite their performativity and negotiability, marriages hinge nonetheless on a time-scale far longer than the individual human life, which underscores generational reproduction rooted in more or less imaginary ancestries. In the center of marriages stand some material items, chalices (taxtaja), which were bequeathed to Cortorari men by their forebears and which circulate both as family heirlooms and as ceremonial wealth. Though they are tucked away in the granaries of Romanian peasants, chalices are ubiquitous in people's wrangles and exert an agency of their own over people's current actions. Subject to individual claims and assertions, the possession of chalices secures Cortorari's life world, permanence and immutability. This film pries into the economic, social and symbolic meanings of chalices and into their centrality to marriages. It does so by counterpointing the unperturbed daily lived experience of the marriage process in two families who exchanged girls, to ritual sequences of wrangles, streets brawls and marriage arrangements that all revolve around the monetary and other values of chalices.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. This ethnographic project investigates the role that artisanal objects and ornamentation play in the constitution of gendered daily practices and ways of life in Oaxaca de Juárez (Mexico). Hand-made textile production is at the center of the social life of several rural Mexican communities. In this plural cultural context, servilletas are ordinary and richly adorned pieces produced by women artisans and associated with everyday and festive food. Despite their notorious presence in social life, they are absent from the Mexican textile debate. In order to analyze the social lives of adornments I will conduct participant observation over a period of 18 months. I will participate in servilletas producer’s embroidery classes, make weekly visits to popular markets, and interview women who regularly use adorned objects in their everyday activities. My research seeks to discuss how objects are entangled with the creation of gender relations, and looks at craftsmanship as gendered. By carrying out a research internship at Museo Textil de Oaxaca my research seeks to analyze the criterias applied to form the institution's textile collection. This project will shed light on the meanings of daily life aestheticization as a human characteristic, and the political role of embellishment in culturally shared life.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. This project examines the technological reconstitution of privacy in America through an ethnographic study of the efforts of Silicon Valley area corporations to 'save' privacy on the Internet using technology. Such efforts respond to the widespread perception that the reorientations of global business and governance around increasingly cheap, pervasive, and powerful forms of digital monitoring, storage, and analysis have upended privacy's long-standing logic and expectations in the United States. The project asks, how do the conceptual, practical, political economic, and affective coordinates of privacy change in the U.S. as privacy becomes an object of design and engineering on the Internet? In answering this question, the project seeks to contribute to the development of a socio-cultural anthropology of privacy by ethnographically analyzing privacy not as a legal or philosophical doctrine with set content, but as a domain of social and cultural action and creativity, powered by a particular semiotic logic and bounded by a constellation of affects, sensibilities, and values. In generating an ethnographic account of privacy in the U.S. that is more faithful to its diverse ways of being in the world, the project additionally aims to contribute to continuing anthropological debates on U.S. culture and politics, technology and infrastructure, and liberalism.

description: This resource is an application for the Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Over the past decade, new bioarchaeological methods such as isotope analysis and ancient DNA have become standard tools for studying migration and mobility. Yet with an increasing amount of data now available, it is apparent that these methods come with significant limitations: each, on its own, rarely able to confidently characterise migration. It is, therefore, crucial to develop new ways of combining datasets from bioarchaeology, traditional archaeological research, and historical sources to reassess evidence. In Viking Age Europe, this is particularly crucial because we still know very little about the nature and scale of movements in and out of Scandinavia - and particularly into England - as well as about the role of women in this process. My research has yielded large amounts of bioarchaeological and traditional archaeological data on the early presence of Vikings in England and bioarchaeological data from Norway. This has revealed new evidence for high levels of mobility among women and exciting new ways of identifying likely migrants. The project will combine these unpublished and partially published datasets and place them within the context of migration and people movement in Early Medieval Europe. The resulting publications will be of wider value to anthropology as case studies for the combination of new scientific and traditional methods in investigating mobility.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. My project is a study of Kenya's 'war on terror,' examining how security practices and counterterrorism are affecting urban space and state power. In recent years Kenya has experienced a number of terrorist attacks that have profoundly impacted the country, placing security at the center of national politics and transforming the very institutions of state security. Through historic and ethnographic analysis of the effects of the 'war on terror' on urban spaces, state practices and institutions, I analyze the broader security-led transformation of Kenyan society. My project studies such processes through: (1) historical research on the evolution of Kenya's response to terrorism since the 1998 US Embassy bombings; (2) the legal and institutional reforms of the Kenyan security sector (3) the impacts of security practices and counterterrorism policing in the Nairobi neighborhood of Eastleigh.

description: This resource is an application for the Post PhD Research Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Crisis mortality, a dramatic but temporary increase in mortality rate above the baseline level resulting from a single extraordinary factor, was an important phenomenon in past human populations and continues to affect living people in ways that might be preventable. One of the most important mortality crises in history was the Black Death; in Europe alone, the epidemic killed tens of millions of people in just a few years (1347-1351 CE). The medieval period in Europe also witnessed numerous devastating famines resulting from dramatic climatic shifts and epidemic diseases among livestock. This project uses skeletal samples from medieval London to examine the interactions among diet, sex, socioeconomic status, health, and mortality in the context of the medieval crises of famine and plague. Stable isotopic data informative about diet will be incorporated into paleodemographic analyses of trends in diet before the Black Death, changes in diet in the aftermath of the epidemic, how dietary resources varied between men and women and by socioeconomic status, and how survival through famine affected subsequent risks of mortality during the Black Death and under non-epidemic conditions. Paleodemographic analyses of famine burials will also reveal whether famine mortality in the past targeted particular individuals (e.g. men, children, and the frail) and how those patterns compare to observations in living populations. This study will improve our understanding of the social, economic, and biological context of crises events. By revealing who might be most vulnerable during crises and which factors most significantly affect negative health outcomes or risk of mortality, this project can help motivate action (e.g. increased and more equitable distribution of food and other resources to those people in greatest need) in advance of crises to ameliorate their potential devastating effects.

description: Ocean literacy is a key factor of the Ocean Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development Goals to transform the citizen relation with the blue planet toward its protection. The enhancement of the citizens' engagement and of the blue curricula implementation in formal education (Santoro et. al 2022) are considered strategic actions to reach the 7 outcomes of the Ocean Decade (UNESCO-IOC, 2021). As a matter of fact, the UNESCO during the One Ocean Summit (Brest, 2022)  launched an open call to the Member States to all together reach the ambitious objective of ocean education in school curricula by 2025.  On the other hand, the EU Mission Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030 accepted this challenge supporting proposals about blue schools and ocean literacy. Citizen engagement is one of the crucial points of this EU Mission. In particular the ProBleu and SHORE EU funded projects have forged a collaboration about the European dialogue about the blue curricula implementation in formal education in which citizen science has to be an important tool for the students participation. These projects are focused on digital tools and the empowerment of youngsters, respectively, towards the Network of European Blue Schools (NEBS) improvement. ProBleu  focuses on innovative resources based on the Open Schooling approach and citizen science projects.  While SHORE will engage & mobilise students and schools promoting country hubs and guidance for the educators and schools on blue curricula. Both projects are collaborating to increase the NEBS supporting small grants for schools actions all over Europe and associated countries encouraging engagement and collaboration between  the scientific and the educational communities.

description: This resource is an application for the Post PhD Research Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Human behavior is characterized by the motivation to seek out new knowledge, often leading to discoveries or innovations. Already as infants, we are curious about the world around us. Paradoxically, scientific work on curiosity in non-human animals is surprisingly rare and we know remarkably little about the origins of curiosity and how the trait is distributed and expressed among non-human primates. Human habitats pose few direct dangers, providing us both time and safety to be curious. Non-human primates, on the other hand, are mostly busy searching for food, mating partners or shelter in natural habitats beset with predation pressure, pathogens, poisonous prey or plant toxins. Accordingly, curiosity comes at a high price and can have lethal consequences. Still, just like humans, primates can be highly motivated to gather new information about their environment, which can be rewarding when it favors food innovations or new knowledge of resources, habitats or social partners. The proposed project is designed to examine which conditions elicit curiosity in vervet monkeys. I will test effects of habitat risk (dangerous niche hypothesis) and the impact of sociality (social information hypothesis) on various curiosity traits in vervet monkeys from four different habitats: wild, urban, sanctuary and zoo.

description: This resource is an application for the Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. How do indigenous practitioners successfully heal? What can we learn from animistic medical traditions? My research has examined these questions through long-term ethnographic fieldwork on the healing practices of the Akha, a group of non-literate swidden farmers living in highland Laos. I documented for the first time in detail the system of Akha healing sacrifices and their shamanic tradition. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, I explored the question of efficacy by drawing from the burgeoning science of 'placebo effects,' a field of study that has considerably advanced our understanding of the effective elements of rituals. Analysing the Akha ethnographic material through the lens of 'placebo science' offered new ways of interpreting the efficacy of Akha therapies and refined previous anthropological theories. It also revealed that Akha own ideas about efficacy and aetiology capture some fundamental aspects of the causal dynamics implicated in illness and healing, which biomedicine, for instance, overlooks. I argued that this finding vindicates the value of animistic healing practices. Accordingly, it sheds new light on old anthropological debates on 'rationality.' The implications of the argument extend beyond anthropology to inform larger debates in global history of medicine and science, as well as biomedical practice. During the Hunt Fellowship, I will complete a book manuscript for this project.
