description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. In Chennai, and elsewhere, sand is a constitutive element of modern urban life. Through its many material arrangements and circulations, sand mediates lifeworlds and landscapes. For example, in Chennai, sand mined or dredged from riverbanks, beaches, and the Bay of Bengal flows into the city, where it supplies the "raw" material required for urbanization. Much of this sand becomes concrete, which forms the material infrastructure of the city, mediated by the bodies of laborers as well as complex legal, political, and economic systems. Aggregate forms of sand -beaches and coastline- are among the only public spaces in the city, and thus serve as a primary site for political action and struggle over the commons. Far from static physical forms, the sandy beaches and coastline in Chennai are dynamic, shifting, anthropogenic formations that fashion, and are fashioned by, technocratic practices of earth management and geo-engineering. In thinking with these various arrangements and circulations of sand in Chennai, this project asks: (1) How does sand mediate the interrelations between and constitution of: (a) Anthropos (Human Life) and Geos (Nonlife), and (b) existential, ecological, and economic uncertainty; and (2) How might tracing sand across Chennai inform more-than-human theories of mediation and relationality?

description: This resource is an application for the Post PhD Research Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. According to predominant norms among Muslims in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, sharia ("Islamic law") empowers a husband to divorce his wife by spoken repudiation. When husbands regret their repudiation, they often visit jurists at local Fatwa Councils seeking advice to restore their marriage. Having squandered the authority granted them by sharia, husbands try to restore that authority through sharia itself. While husbands regard jurists? advice as uncorrupted by Iraqi state secularism, Fatwa Councils often send husbands to civil courts for a solution, showing the inseparability of three jurisdictions: sharia, Iraqi Civil Code, and civil provisions in the Kurdistan region. In this way, jurists adapt the procedures of the secular state to serve their vision of sharia. This project explores how Fatwa Councils mobilize multiple legal languages to restore men's authority as husbands after they squandered it. In doing so, the project expands existing studies of gender and sharia that predominantly focus on women. Ethnographic research links Fatwa Council proceedings to Islamic legal traditions and historically shifting civil codes in Iraqi Kurdistan. A detailed account of how men engage men through legal language will contribute to the comparative study of how civil and religious law work to reconstruct men's authority.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. The goal of this project is to examine the relationship between food, identity, and culture contact in the context of imperial borderlands. More specifically, the proposed research uses ancient plant remains to address the role of food in the complex multi-directional social interactions between colonists and indigenous groups in the Wari Empire of the highlands of the Peruvian Andes. Comparing plant food data from Middle Horizon (A.D. 600-1000) household contexts at the Wari imperial administrative sites of Cerro BaÃºl in Moquegua Valley and Hatun Cotuyoc in the Cusco Valley to the indigenous sites of Yauhay Alta and Aka'willay, I will examine Wari and indigenous foodways from an intersite and intrasite perspective. Analyzing spatial patterns of plant use and discard, I aim to reconstruct household foodways of Wari colonists and indigenous groups to examine: (1) if the diet of Wari colonists in provincial colonies differed from the imperial heartland in Ayacucho; (2) how daily foods were related to the expression of identity amongst Wari colonists and local groups; and (3) how food can inform our understanding of cultural interactions between Wari colonists and indigenous groups on the borderlands of the empire.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. While environmental governance initiatives, such as climate change mitigation mechanisms, are often framed in scientific and economic terms, they are entangled with diverse processes of socio-environmental change that cross ontological and epistemological borders. This research is an attempt to complicate the stories that are told about environmental governance and develop a narrative concerning the complex reality of local communities and women on the borders of such change. Grounded in a political ontology framework, this study focuses on the frictions and inequalities that may emerge as global environmental governance initiatives, specifically the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) program, are translated locally in Papua New Guinea (PNG). By acknowledging the varied ways of perceiving and enacting reality and engaging with indigenous worldviews, this analysis aims to challenge hierarchical conceptions of scale and reformulate ideas of the 'local' in terms of social relations and being. Relational 'assemblages' are proposed as an alternative way to explain the complex interactions that take place as REDD+ intersects with local livelihoods, land tenure systems and social relations. This analysis explicitly focuses on gender to highlight the heterogeneity of 'communities' and further destabilise the boundaries that are drawn between scales, places and people. Through ethnographic fieldwork with communities implicated in the Central Suau REDD+ Pilot Project in the Milne Bay Province and key institutions driving REDD+, this project explores the emerging assemblages and potential ontological conflicts that accompany environmental governance in changing socio-environmental contexts.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Initial findings suggest that recent developments in who can speak and what can be said in kabary (Malagasy oratory) show that the form does not, as has been suggested, solely serve to rigidify social hierarchies; it is also a means of reflecting and improving current realities. Nonetheless, a critical component of kabary remains substantiating one's claims by referring to the razana (ancestors) through the use of codified ohabolana (proverbs) and hainteny (short poems), the avoidance of the first person singular, and other mechanisms by which the speaker indicates that she does not speak for herself alone. This notion of speaking with and for others is similarly salient in Malagasy slam poetry, despite its many divergences with kabary in form, origin, and setting. In Malagasy slam, unlike in much of American slam, poets rarely refer to personal experiences of difficulty or discrimination when addressing political and social issues. However, in a context of political instability where regional and linguistic affiliations have significant impacts on economic livelihoods, Malagasy slam poetry is a key site where young people express their individual viewpoints on these issues at the same time as they seek to speak with and for the people.

description: This resource is an application for the Post PhD Research Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. What does it mean to fight for environmental futures through the language and practice of care and collaboration? Which ways of interacting with the environment are valorized and cultivated, and who or what gains power? In the US state of Alaska, new livelihoods are increasingly prominent in rural regions, as historically dominant forms of state- and industry-driven resource extraction are joined by a growing number of collaborative enterprises for sustainable development. These efforts cast longstanding occupations, such as commercial fishing, and new ones, such as stream restoration, as labors of environmental care rather than exploitation. This ethnographic study across two different regions of coastal Alaska examines how emergent economies and modes of governance forged through affective connection influence the interrelationship of state, science, and social movements in the circumpolar North. It builds from broader research that examines the experience of living in an environment 'at risk' to consider the formations that have arisen in response. The proposed research brings together scholarship on affective labor and neoliberal governance to advance scholarly conversations about how human-environment relations are controlled and exploited at present. To examine emergent enterprises--ranging from community campaigns to promote salmon stewardship, to alliances to map ecological knowledge for artisanal product development--the project relies on ethnographic fieldwork with rural residents and other key actors, including NGO workers, corporate officers, scientists, activists, and government officials. Data from semi-structured interviews, participant-observation, and document analysis will shed light on which perspectives have most influenced new initiatives, and how these are shaping rural residents' participation in resource development and its debate.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. The dead create our social worlds. Their names constitute our sense of place, their images watch over us from monument perches, and their stories build the foundation of our polities and societies. In Algeria, after 50 years of independence, material and linguistic vestiges of the dead of the War of Liberation (1954-1962) continue to exert power over Algerian society, reflecting the enduring consequences of colonialism, war and civil violence on post-colonial social formation. This 12-month field research project investigates the construction of post-colonial space by asking: How do linguistic and material invocations and representations of the war dead shape political-economic subjectivities and collectivities in Algeria? How are they inscribed onto or erased from the landscape? How do Algerians make sense of these spaces? Using linguistic anthropological and ethnographic methods to map sites of commemoration, this project brings together an analysis of (a) political-economic structures and struggles over power in post-colonial Algeria, and (b) the everyday, material experience of language in space. In order to do this, I offer the theoretical frame of 'linguistic infrastructure,' which refers to material forms of language and other semiotic systems that function as built networks of circulation, fostering the exchange of goods, people, and ideas. This concept contributes to anthropological theory by revealing how people strategically mobilize material language in order to define the social experience of space and funnel resources to certain people. Using participant observation, audio-recordings and transcriptions of talk, and interviews, this project tests the proposition that the war dead 'live' on in Algerian society as gatekeepers of political power and socio-economic resources.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. This research examines the processes through which the dilemmas of everyday life in exile contribute to the emergence of novel forms of moral community and ethical selfhood among young male refugees with no links to humanitarian NGOs. Specifically, it asks how masculine vocabularies, practices, and aspirations are and are not reconfigured when the violence of war and exile upset gendered life-course expectations around labor, domesticity, marriage, and family. The project consists of eighteen months of ethnographic research focusing on the ethical and interactional dimensions of everyday domestic and economic life among young and formerly middle-class Syrian men displaced by the civil war in their homeland. By combining life history interviews with ethnographic observations of young male refugees? income-generating practices, social networks, and improvised domestic spaces, this research tests hypotheses regarding relationships between downward class mobility, separation from kin, unsettled future horizons and the emergence of distinct new forms of masculine moral community and identity.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. To answer the question of how exiled Syrians forge their own lifeworlds in Paris, France, this study employs ethnographic methods to explore the unique conception of Syrian-ness that emerges from biographies shaped by the legacy of French colonialism, Syrian nationalism, and the ongoing violence in Syria. While categories such as "refugee," "asylum seeker," and "French citizen of Syrian origin" may be discernable in the eyes of the state and international governing bodies, they are often less sharply marked in the practices of everyday life. Ethnographic engagement with these categories and the experience of resettlement can reveal what is at stake in claims of Syrian-ness among a transnational diaspora and in the face of catastrophic violence in Syria. By attending to their outward-facing assertion of Syrian-ness as well as engaging experiences of individual Syrians in Paris, this project pushes back against overly determined narratives of dehistoricized victimhood that accompany the figure of the Syrian as refugee. And by tracking how Syrians respond to structures of the French state in their everyday life beyond the paradigm of helpless asylees as well as how they negotiate space as members of a diasporic network, this project contributes to anthropological studies of diaspora and refugeeness.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. In the city of Lahore, Pakistan, plots of land are increasingly traded like stocks. Though land has long functioned as inherited wealth or a long-term investment, in recent years it has become liquid, or a good that can be quickly bought and sold as prices change. Across a diasporic market, plots of land circulate between local residents and overseas Pakistan living in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and South and Southeast Asia, and in Lahore?s oldest residential areas the state is digitizing centuries-old land records in order to increase the liquidity of local assets. However, the social and material particularities of land both enable and constrain financialization in novel ways. While financial markets favor abstraction and ?rational? economic decision-making, land in Lahore is not only physically embedded but also enmeshed in multiple and overlapping regimes of value. This dissertation project investigates how the social and material qualities of land entangle with processes of financialization in the city of Lahore. In doing so, it aims to understand how financial and non-financial relations come together in postcolonial cities to produce emergent forms of financial speculation, divergent knowledge practices, changing regimes of landownership, and novel modes of subjectivity amongst local residents.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. This project will investigate the socio-economic foundations of oasis communities during the Early Bronze Age (EBA, ca. 3100BCE - 2000BCE) in southeastern Arabia. These relatively small-scale communities demonstrate strategic organizational and subsistence choices in extreme environments and climates that led to the establishment of widespread oasis agriculture communities across the landscape. This project will operate as a contextualized study of settlement patterning and plant cultivation and usage amongst EBA oasis communities in southeastern Arabia through the integration of geospatial, ethnoarchaeological, and archaeobotanical analyses. Decision-making strategies of EBA inhabitants will be contextualized and analyzed using niche construction frameworks that focus on humans as agents of cultural change. This project will examine how EBA communities organized themselves, practiced plant cultivation, strategized decision-making, and, thus, contributed to the maintenance and spread of oasis agriculture communities, which provided the socio-economic foundations for development of complexity in southeastern Arabia.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. This project set out to understand how the paradigm of 'humanized birth' is implemented in Salvador, Brazil, through Rede Cegonha, a government program to improve maternal and infant healthcare in Brazil's public health system. Over the course of twelve-months of multi-sited ethnographic research, the project followed Rede Cegonha from the federal Ministry of Health to the local health secretariats, maternity care services, and communities of Salvador, Bahia to answer the question: How does a public policy humanize childbirth? In spite of economic, political, and public health crises, as well as persistent fragilities in the public health system, government agents and healthcare professionals negotiate daily the incitements to humanize their practices. Women of all socioeconomic levels have begun to question the prevailing, medicalized models of birth, and to revindicate their rights to respectful treatment in maternity care services. Overall, the fieldwork underscored how birth's state of crisis in Brazil is undergoing a paradigmatic shift while being subject to economic and political precarity that threaten women's access to timely, respectful perinatal care. It also revealed that projects to shift the ethics of childbirth are intricately bound up with much broader projects of social and political life in contemporary Brazil.

description: This resource is an application for the Dissertation Fieldwork Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. This dissertation research studied the emergence of Indian doctors, engineers, and designers forming startups to create novel medical devices, or "medtech." As biomedical devices produced through "Silicon Valley" inspired business models are being increasingly used to manage and monitor health, and the current Indian administration shifts the burden of "hacking" public health burdens onto citizen inventors, the grantee undertook research to probe tensions between elite, predominantly male, medtech entrepreneurs? universalizing technocratic imaginaries and their locally designed products. This multi-sited study was grounded in medtech start-ups in Bangalore, India, as well as "biodesign" laboratories across other Indian urban hubs (Delhi, Bombay, Chennai) and the US Bay Area through which entrepreneurs form teams, identify health needs, and experiment in device invention before entering the market. Participating firsthand in the medtech sector for fifteen months -- brainstorming ideas, sourcing raw materials, testing prototypes, and marketing products with various startups -- illuminated shifting cultural relationships between inventors, experimental test subjects, public health imperatives, and healthcare materialities. Research findings suggested that widely presumed North-South logics of technological innovation and biocapital flows are upended when medical devices are envisioned for and created within the Global South, as well as through Indian techies' own migration between globally salient sites.

The coarse and dispersed information on the western-most Iberia does not allow a detailed understanding of the human behavior ecology and ecodynamics during the Pleistocene. That problem can only be solved with an innovative project focusing a region rich in multiple resources that is an ecotone between different landscapes and where can be found sites with long sequences and good preservation of organic material. One of these regions is the basin of the River Lis (Leiria, Central Portugal), particularly the Chitas Valley. Here we located dozens of caves and rockshelters, many with rich and stratified archaeological sediments. In 2015, we start excavating one of these rockshelters: Abrigo do Poço. We recovered hundreds of shells and charcoal fragments, along with lithics and fauna from the hard, ashy and high carbonated sediments taken from a 1x1 m2 test pit, excavated down to 0.6m. Among other things, we piece-plotted every visible remain regardless the size with a total station, floated all sediments, and sampled for multiple analysis including phytolits and paleoparasites. From 2016-on, we will wide the excavation area and expose more of the stratigraphic sequence using our high-resolution protocol. We strongly believe that, in a short time, we will be able to produce data with the necessary quality to considerably contribute answering questions such as: What was the human behavioral ecology in western Iberia during the Pleistocene? How important were the rich karsic canyons linking the coast to the inland mountains? Were these specific ecotones refuges, especially during the archer times?

description: This resource is an application for the Post PhD Research Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Over the past ten years, the Rwandan government has intensified efforts to extract methane gas from Lake Kivu, a 2500 square kilometer lake that straddles the border of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The methane extraction project has two stated aims: to reduce dangerous levels of unstable gasses dissolved in the lake and thus prevent it from exploding, and to provide much-needed power to meet increasing demand in both energy-strapped countries. The Kivu methane extraction project thus seeks to transform a potential threat into an actual resource in a place marked by histories of violence. My project uses six months of ethnographic research with the Kivu methane extraction project to examine the relationships between official efforts to control violence, people, nature, and energy. I ask specifically, how are the cultural politics of energy, natural disaster, and reconciliation intertwined in post-genocide Rwanda, in official framing and people's lived experience? My ethnographic work builds on 20 months of fieldwork I have conducted in Rwanda since 2002. Fieldwork will focus in Gisenyi, Rwanda, working with the Kivu Monitoring Program and with people living and working alongside the lake. This project brings together insights from three strands of anthropological scholarship--energy, disaster mitigation, and transitional justice--that, with few exceptions, thus far remain mostly separate, even as energy projects are key ingredients in post-conflict or post-disaster reconstruction agendas. This project will clarify how political violence is related to concepts of vulnerability, victimhood, culpability and change at the heart of anthropological research on energy, natural resources and climate change in the Anthropocene.
