2E.  The January 31 CAPA meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at UIC in the
Anthropology Department seminar room (3160 BSB), the site of our first meeting
this year.
After a brief business meeting, we will have a conversation with Ken Rice,
Research Director at Leo J. Shapiro and Assoc., about what he has been doing in
market research since leaving academic anthropology and on the benefits of
supporting dialogue between anthropologists working in business settings and
those working in academic and nonprofit settings.
Ken has been working at Leo J. Shapiro and Associates for 24 years, since
receiving an MA in Anthropology from the University of Chicago.   His current
work includes designing  market research studies using a variety of methods for
a variety of clients, including retailers, manufacturers, and some non-profit
organizations. His company was founded about 50 years ago by Leo Shapiro, who
received his Ph.D. in sociology from the U of Chicago.
DIRECTIONS:  BSB is on the southwest corner of Harrison and Morgan streets.  The
front door is open at 7 pm..  Walk through the doors leading to the interior of
the building and bear right around a set of stairs, through a doorway and to the
elevators past the doorway.  There are elevators at the rear (west wall) of the
building and another set of 2 elevators directly across the room from them.  Go
to the third floor and look for the orange floor.  Follow that hallway (like the
maze it is) until you see the double-door seminar room.  Then thank heavens that
you don't work there.

6C.    ETHNOGRAPHIC FIELD SCHOOL:
CULTURE AND PERFORMANCE IN BUENOS AIRES - June 25-August 4, 2006
The University of Hawai'i-Manoa Study Abroad Center and the Department of
Anthropology have developed a 6-week intensive course in ethnographic
methods in Buenos Aires. The course focuses on current approaches to the
study of culture and performance in a complex urban setting.  Undergraduate
and graduate students are welcome to apply.
Buenos Aires offers opportunities to conduct sociocultural research on the
intersection of local and global trends; class, gender and ethnic identities
in motion; and a uniquely vibrant cultural production.  Marta E. Savigliano
(UCLA) and Jeffrey Tobin (Occidental College), professors and scholars
specializing in the anthropology of Argentina will be teaching the course.
Students will be trained in techniques of participation, observation, and
interpretation in a city known for its tango practitioners, soccer fans,
lavish beef-eaters, proud intellecctual and artistic producers, creative and
effective social movements, and conflicted memories of state terrorism.
Fieldwork exercises will take students to tango dance clubs and practice
sessions, soccer games and sports bars, city markets and asados (grilled
meat feasts) in the countryside, the neo-bohemian district of Palermo Viejo,
the museum and gravesite of Eva Peron, and the Plaza de Mayo (to walk with
the Madres).  Classroom discussions, based on fieldwork and readings, will
address methodological issues such as: defining a "field" in a complex,
urban setting; identifying and approaching participants; planning and
conducting interviews; recording meaningful observations; accounting for
competing viewpoints; participating in order to access an insider's
perspectiva without intruding; representing research findings through
writing and other media; and the use of scholarly sources to interpret
fieldwork.
Facilities: Library, computer lab (with broadband access), offices, and
classroom located in a cultural center, downtown Buenos Aires, two blocks
away from the national Congress building and its Library.
Costs: Approximately $3,800 including study abroad for 6 credits, room and
board, field trips/excursions, local transportation, laundry facilities and
internet access.  Airfare and personal expenses are not included.  Housing
is provided in centrally-located residential hotel, ten minutes subway ride
from the cultural center.

6 F.   Historical Archaeology Internships
George Washington's Mount Vernon announces paid
internships in historical archaeology during summer
2006.  A 10-week program, June 5 - August 11, 2006, is
intended for advanced undergraduates and graduate
students who have had field training in archaeology,
while a 4-month track, June 5 - September 29, is for
recent graduates seeking additional field work in
historical archaeology and interpretation.  Mount
Vernon's internships offer an opportunity for
intensive archaeological fieldwork in a
research-oriented setting with a strong emphasis on
direct interaction with museum visitors.
    Mount Vernon is a historic site and museum located
near Washington, DC.  Its mission is to interpret the
life of the first president within the context of his
home and plantation.  This summer's excavation focuses
on the Upper or Flower Garden which will undergo a
major renovation in 2007, based in part on the
archaeological discoveries.  Washington designed the
flower garden during his 1775 redesign of the Mount
Vernon landscape, transforming a c. 1760 garden into
an elliptical formal space.  The archaeological
fieldwork is designed to aid in the interpretation of
both garden beds and pathways, and to explore the
transformation of the landscape from the earliest
garden through the modern interpretive garden.
    Interns will participate as members of the
archaeological field crew and interpret the site to
the public.  Field experience will be augmented by
lectures, discussions, and readings on topics relevant
to Chesapeake archaeology and history, landscape
history, historic preservation, and public
archaeology.  Trips to area sites will also be taken.
Applicants should be in good physical condition and
should be aware that the internship primarily involves
long hours of digging in hot, humid, and dirty
conditions.  Participants will receive a competitive
stipend and assistance in securing local housing.
    To apply, submit a resume with two references and
cover letter, including a statement detailing interest
in this program and specifying the preferred track (10
week or 4 month).  Deadline is March 31, 2006.
Selection will be made by April 7.
