G)  New Spring Class: A200/E400/S362 Applied Anthropology
MW at 5:30 taught by Dustin Cantrell; his blurb:
Simply stated, Applied Anthropology is the application of anthropological tools
and methodologies to address “real-world” problems.  This course will explore
the anthropological “tool kit” and demonstrate how anthropologists may be
uniquely situated to address pressing issues of the contemporary world.  This
class will use case studies that focus on all major sub-fields of anthropology
(cultural, linguistic, archaeology, and biological) to illustrate strengths of
each.  Students will get a chance, through group projects, to apply tools and
strategies learned in class to real world situations.  This course is perfect
for individuals interested in anthropology, but uncertain to its relevance.


2) Chicago Area events:
2A)  Oldest Civilization in the Americas?
Evanston, Ill.,  October, 2005 — An ancient civilization, the oldest known
complex society in the Americas, flourished in Peru more than 5,000 years ago.
Its significance is enormous and may require rethinking the beginnings of
civilization (economic, social, religious, and cultural), in Peru and perhaps
all of South America.
The Norte Chico civilization, named for its location, thrived from about 3000 BC
to 1,800 BC and appears to include 20 major residential centers covering 700
square miles.  It consists of sunken plazas and large platform mounds, or
pyramids, some measuring 85’ tall.
“The scale and sophistication of these sites is unheard of anywhere in the New
World at this time,” said Dr. Jonathan Haas, MacArthur Curator of Anthropology
at the Field Museum in Chicago.  He and Dr. Winifred Creamer, Anthropologist at
Northern Illinois University, are investigating Norte Chico.
According to Dr. Creamer, “Norte Chico was largely ignored because there were no
ancient artifacts such as ceramics or art.  However, through carbon 14 dating of
95 samples of organic site materials, and discovery of a small carved gourd
fragment, we now know this was an extensive and enduring culture.”
Dr. Haas suggests the people who built the first of these structures had no
model to go by and no precedent to use in building such monuments.  “It’s a bit
like deciding to build a functioning spaceship in your backyard--and
succeeding!” said Dr. Haas.
The public is invited to hear more about this fascinating finding at 3:30 pm
Sunday, October 30, at the Evanston Public Library, Community Room, 1703
Orrington Avenue, Evanston.  The meeting is brought to you by the Chicago
Archaeological Society (CAS).   There is no charge.  Coffee or tea may be
purchased from 3:00 pm to 3:30 pm in the Community Room prior to the
presentation.  The Chicago Archaeological Society is a nonprofit organization
serving the greater Chicagoland area.  It promotes the ethical practice and
study of archaeology.

2B)  The Great Cities Institute invites you to be part of the 11th UIC Great
Cities Winter Forum on December 2nd , 2005. This year the theme is The Healthy
City: People, Place and Policy. Winter Forum 2005 builds on a decade-long
tradition of forums which have become, in a sense, annual "town hall meetings"
of recognized experts, academics, community leaders and citizens interested in
urban change. Through a challenging array of discussions, the forum promises a
lively and engaged exploration of the notion of the "healthy city". We will seek
to understand what makes cities function as healthy places, where all residents
live vibrant lives, where all communities find political, economic, and social
meaning, and where the health sectors, in particular, and public policy, at an
urban scale, realize full value in the service of the city.  Speakers include:
Michelle Obama, Vice President for Community and External Affairs, University of
Chicago Hospitals; Gregory Hodge, Youth Development Consultant and Member, Board
of Education of the Oakland Unified School District, Oakland, CA; Aida
Giachello, UIC Jane Addams College of Social Work; John Wimer, Chief Operations
Officer, National Energy Management Institute, Alexandra, VA; and keynote
speaker, Mindy Thompson Fullilove, MD, author of Root Shock: How Tearing Up City
Neighborhoods Hurts America and What We Can Do About It, Columbia University,
NY.  The opening plenary will be broadcast on Chicago Public Radio station WBEZ
- 91.5 FM, moderated by Steve Edwards, host of the morning program "Eight Forty
Eight."  Please join us in this engaging discussion on December 2, 2005. You can
find the complete agenda and online registration information:

2C)  Health Care for Women in Colonial Bombay
The UIC Center for Research on Women and Gender Brownbag Lecture will feature:
Mridula Ramanna, PhD, Head of the Department of History, South Indian Education
Society College, University of Mumbai
Date: Tuesday, November 15
Time: 12:00 p.m.
Location: UIC Center for Research on Women and Gender, 1640 W. Roosevelt Rd.,
Conference Room 507A
Dr. Ramanna will present her research on the public health efforts targeted
towards women and children in early twentieth century Bombay. She will address a
range of issues including British and Indian perceptions of the causes of infant
and maternal mortality, the establishment of maternity hospitals, and responses
to the hospitals. She will also examine several activities related to infant and
maternal mortality, including private and semi-offical welfare efforts, the
training of indigenous midwives, and the health of mill workers and maternity
benefits provided to them. Her presentation will emphasize the collaboration
between activist health officials, male and female Indian doctors, reformers,
and civic leaders in promoting these activities.
Light refreshments will be served. Please RSVP: 312-413-1924.

2D) at DePaul
monthly talks in anthropology hosted by culture club
The “DO” to “Doing Fieldwork”
It’s not really mud huts and amulets

novice.  We do it alone.  We do it far from home.  And, we rarely talk about
doing it.  Join us for frank discussions from experienced ethnographers about
the “do” to “doing fieldwork”.  Get a taste of what’s in-store for you if you
choose the ethnographic path.  Or, just come to hear some good stories from the
life and work of DePaul’s ethnographers.
October 6:  “Sex, Lies and Audiotape”
A conversation with Robert Rotenberg about fieldwork in Vienna
October 27:  “Confessions of a Mad Ethnographer and other Guilty Pleasures of
Fieldwork”

5J)  from CSAS:
The new Gateway Community College in northern Kentucky (part of the Greater
Cincinnati Metropolitan area) has responded positively to the request of the
Northern Kentucky University Anthropology Faculty to teach courses on
anthropology at Gateway.  That means Gateway must hire some anthropology
professors.  I know there are many with the right qualifications right here in
the Kentucky/Ohio/Indiana tri-state region.  I would urge anyone with at least a
Master's degree in anthropology (MA, MS, MALS, etc.) to look into the
possibilities at Gateway.  (I am not sure if Gateway is just looking for
part-timers or more permanent full-time professors.  That may depend on
students' responses to anthropology courses there.)  The person to whom to send
your letter of inquiry and vita (resume`) is
Dr. Dale K. Myers
Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs
College Provost
Gateway Community and Technical College
