By contrast, Vansina - Flemish, pragmatic, realist, and positivist-leaning - had studied social anthropology in London (Vansina 1994). The second (Vansina 2014) narrates Vansina's childhood in wartime Flanders, reckoning with his Flemish identity and ethics in the contexts of the war and Flemish-francophone divides. GRAPH Jan Vansina, a pioneering Africanist anthropologist and historian who wrote many books on precolonial kingdoms and the forest peoples of central Africa, died at his home in Madison, Wisconsin, in 2017. IRSAC's multidisciplinary approach to the human sciences (Vansina 1960; Vansina 1970) marked Vansina's historical imagination for decades, while his early scholarship aimed at "truths" articulated in a scientific tenor.

All public transportation was closed, ambulant military checkpoints were set up, and quarantine violators were forced into thirty-day quarantines at confinement centers. All nonessential businesses were closed.[9] The logistics of quarantine centers were put in the hands of the military.[10] With the first documented case of COVID-19 on March 18, a thirty-day military enforced quarantine was declared.[11] Only one person per household was allowed to travel outside the home, twice a week, and only for "essential business." "What can COVID do to me?" The social exclusion experienced by inhabitants of places such as El Cerro has allowed for early COVID-19 emergency measures to take the form of social triage (Biehl 2005).

At this moment, it is critical for the field of forensic anthropology and the AAFS to encourage antiracism and activism in order to actually foster integrity, ensure a socially responsible science, and recruit and retain those with diverse perspectives and lived experiences. Keywords: antiracism; diversity; inclusion; equity; scientific objectivity; forensic anthropology EN antiracism diversity inclusion equity scientific objectivity forensic anthropology 575 579 5 08/18/22 20220901 NES 220901 INTRODUCTION Recent and ongoing brutalities have highlighted the systemic injustices levied against Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) individuals and stimulated discussions within academia and professional organizations about their role in fostering antiracism and diversity. This is particularly true for the field of forensic anthropology and the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) - a white-led and white-majority professional flagship forensic science organization with eleven distinct disciplines, including anthropology - whose practitioners intersect with law enforcement and the criminal justice system.

C-BLAAC provided the space for students to reflect on the animus that has emerged to create faculty positions in predominantly white departments, specifically for the study of Blackness in its multiple iterations. The formation of C-BLAAC was an act of student self-determination that combatted the student/faculty hierarchy that is at once possessive and dehumanizing, wherein I student i indexes the half-formed thinker who awaits the authoritative guidance of I faculty i . Irrespective of how much scholars revise syllabi and core curricula, there will be no liberation if the professional benchmarks and liberal logics that infuse our departments continue to grind marginalized students into polarized ends of racialized hyperbole: fast-rising meteors, on the one hand, and forgotten students who may or may not complete the PhD at all, on the other. Relations of power within academic departments - those that separate faculty from student or that separate a first-generation PhD from a student who has generationally been there before - are based on opacity.

This piece, a conversation on the changing ethical obligations of forensic anthropology in the twenty-first century, arose out of myriad societal and disciplinary upheavals, including: insufficient ethical policies and recent debates about advocacy, activism, and antiracism in the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS); ongoing discussions on the intersection of forensic anthropology with important social movements (e.g., Black Lives Matter [BLM], LGBTQ+, immigrant advocacies); and critical examinations of our skeletal curation practices and our colonialist past and present. For example, more senior-level anthropologists were not involved in this discussion, and all of us who participated share the perspective that forensic anthropology should expand ethical practices to address social issues - with advocacy, activism, and antiracism playing critical roles. We started with several virtual discussions and living documents that identified two overarching themes that, we contend, require urgent responses from our field: (1) defining modern-day ethics in forensic anthropology; and (2) identifying the role(s) of advocacy, activism, and antiracism in forensic anthropology. For our advocacy, activism, and antiracism theme (2), we posed and answered the following two questions: (a) In what ways are advocacy, activism, and antiracism I essential i to the ethical practice of forensic anthropology?.

Gupta and Stoolman enhance this tradition of historical critique by asking why the founding generations of US anthropology "[failed] to move from a liberal antiracism to a decolonizing project." While Gupta and Stoolman do not quite address this point in a direct manner, responses to present-day defenses of the founding generation that are premised on the utility of ethnographic conservation can be found in the reflexive writing of post-WWII action anthropologists mentioned above. My response will attend to two aspects of Gupta and Stoolman's piece: the historical factors that prevented the development of a decolonizing anthropology following WWII and the politics of contemporary departments of anthropology. Though situated within the current politics of racial reckoning, Akhil Gupta and Jessie Stoolman's "Decolonizing US Anthropology" addresses a multitude of issues that are equal parts past and present.

i On May 28, 2020, the Minneapolis 3rd Police Precinct burned down after Minneapolis Police Department officers murdered George Floyd, age 46, and after so many similar extra-judicial executions by state agents wielding the state's monopoly on the legitimate use of violence. Ten years earlier, James Baldwin was 38 when he wrote the two essays collectively named after, and ending with, the line: I God gave Noah the rainbow sign, No more water, the fire next time! 5 Rimbaud, Arthur.

It does not follow, however, that the anthropology of half a century ago and more impedes the work of current anthropology. "Decolonizing US Anthropology", by Akhil Gupta and Jessie Stoolman, is motivated by the "renewed calls for a racial reckoning in US anthropology" by members of a younger generation of anthropologists. I suggest, on the contrary, that today's anthropologists can stand on the basis of the newer discipline that has developed over the preceding several generations, and it is not necessary to expend so much labor on reinterpreting and rethinking US anthropology's past.

The Haitian boat space - production and sailing - flows contrary to (breaches) the history of captivity and confinement that anchors Black folks' lives to boats by instead focusing on Black people's use of them. "A portolan - a written description of the course along which ships sailed, indicating bays, capes, coves, ports, magnetic rhumb lines, and the distances between places." In the face of environmental vulnerabilities and the reality of waterways as systems of sustenance and imminent death, the course asks: how do black people use the ship and the process and practice of shipping as vessels for freedom, escape, and as a site to experiment with futures? In our course planning, we determined that building a boat would take more time than the fifteen-week course provided, so we postponed the boat making to subsequent summer and spring semesters.

The RIC itself was a heterogeneous organization, which involved agents such as Frontex (the EU's border guard authority), the Greek Ministry of Migration and the Greek Police, the UNHCR, the International Organization of Migration (IOM), and medical charities (Pollozek and Passoth 2019). If contemporary mass migration from the Global South to the Global North is one of the defining features of our moment, a complex development that can be seen as shaping a new nomadic age (Czaika and Haas 2015; Hamilakis 2018), then how can we approach and how can we understand the "refugee camp" as a key node and a primary material artifact of this phenomenon? The late governor of Moria, Yannis Balbakakis (appointed by the previous, left-wing Greek government), a retired military officer, used to say often in media interviews that there are fifty-eight nationalities ( I ethnikotites i ) in Moria, something that he repeated during our conversation in July 2017.

To redirect her disappointment, Boas urged Amelia to continue in linguistics, bypassing Linton, for whom linguistics held little interest. Over thirty years, Amelia became recognized as a pioneer in providing holistic family care and genetic counseling to families struggling with the inheritable neurological disorder Huntington's disease (Bird 2019; Schultz 1966). (Photograph from family archives) Amelia Susman Schultz, the last PhD student of Franz Boas, who pioneered the use of anthropological methods in social work and genetic counseling, died in Seattle on April 22, 2021, at the age of 106 years. With Amelia's aunts and uncles, who included Catholics and Protestants, the family shared the Brooklyn home of Amelia's great aunt, who kept the family together. [Extracted from the article]

A virtuoso of defamiliarization, Sahlins regarded Western European peoples as a relentlessly exotic lot and undertook (Sahlins 1996, 2008c) an archaeology of their "native anthropology." Increasingly skeptical toward views of anthropology as natural science, Sahlins invoked Franz Boas's ([1887] 1940) distinction between "physicalist" commitment to general law and "cosmographic" engagement with objects "for their own sake" - which latter Sahlins now pronounced the more objective epistemology of culture; thus, a transition from "cultural physicist" to "cosmographer" (Sahlins 2000a, 19, 22-23). Marshall David Sahlins (1930-2021) (Sahlins 2000a, 13) But Sahlins increasingly rejected White's evolutionism as theoretically and empirically deficient, notably in relation to "the success of the Vietnamese in the face of American might" in the late 1960s (Sahlins 2008a, 281).
