SYLLABUS TITLE ANTH 620H Human Ecology (Theory or Method) TIME 10:30-11:45 a.m., TTh, Spring Semester 2009 PLACE 329 Saunders Hall, University of Hawai`i @ Manoa INSTRUCTOR Dr. Les Sponsel, Professor Director, Ecological Anthropology Program Office: 317 Saunders Hall Office hours: 3:00-5:00 p.m. TTh by appointment Office phone: 956-8507 Email: [email protected] Homepage: http://www.soc.hawaii.edu/Sponsel ORIENTATION Ecological anthropology explores how culture influences the dynamic interactions between human populations and the ecosystems in their habitat through time. The primary approaches within ecological anthropology are cultural ecology, historical ecology, political ecology, and spiritual ecology. This sequence of approaches reflects the historical development of the subject, largely since the 1950’s. By now ecological anthropology is a mature topical specialization that crosscuts the five subfields of contemporary anthropology. It has its own separate unit within the American Anthropological Association called the Anthropology and Environment Section (http://www.eanth.org); journals (Human Ecology, Journal of Ecological Anthropology, Ecological and Environmental Anthropology); textbooks and anthologies; publisher’s series; specialists, programs, and courses; listserv with more than 1,000 subscribers (see E & A Section website to subscribe); and so on. (See http://www.eoearth.org/article/Ecological_anthropology). This class, 620H, is the graduate core course for the Ecological Anthropology Program (see EAP on the instructor’s homepage at http://www.soc.hawaii.edu/Sponsel). Ideally, the prerequisite for 620H is 415 Ecological Anthropology. Those who have not taken 415 may request the instructor’s consent. However, for some background they are strongly

advised to read Patricia K. Townsend’s Environmental Anthropology: From Pigs to Policies (Long Grove, IL: Waveland Press, Inc., 2009, Second Edition). Auditors are not allowed. This time the seminar pursues a systematic and penetrating critical analysis of theory and method in ecological anthropology in historical perspective from its early 20th Century roots to the present, but organized around the sequence of primary approaches to ecological anthropology. Unfortunately, there is no single textbook conveniently available for such a survey, thus a combination of texts together with seminar reports is necessary to adequately survey this subject. Each student is required to research one historical and one contemporary contributor to ecological anthropology for two seminar papers each summarized for the class with a PowerPoint presentation. Among the historical figures (most deceased) are Alfred L. Kroeber, Clark Wissler, Frank G. Speck, Julian H. Steward, Gregory Bateson, Fredrik Barth, Roy A. Rappaport, Gerardo Reichel-Dolmatoff, Marvin Harris, John W. Bennett, Robert M. Netting, Harold C. Conklin, Eric R.Wolf, and Darrell A. Posey. Several historical personages beyond anthropology have also been particularly influential including Thomas Robert Malthus, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Charles Darwin, John Wesley Powell, George Perkins Marsh, Karl Marx, C. Daryll Forde, Carl O. Sauer, Eugene Odum, and Howard Odum. Contemporary figures include, but are not limited to, Janis B. Alcorn, Kelly Alley, Michael Alvard, Eugene N. Anderson, Shankar Aswani, William Balee, Daniel Bates, Brent Berlin, John H. Bodley, J. Peter Brosius, Robert Carneiro, David Casagrande, Carole Crumley, Philippe Descola, Michael R. Dove, Darna L. Dufour, Roy F. Ellen, Arturo Escobar, James Fairhead, Harvey Feit, Walter Goldschmidt, Thomas N. Headland, Robert Hitchcock, Ake Hultkrantz, Tim Ingold, Allen Johnson, Barbara Rose Johnston, Arne Kalland, John Knight, Conrad Kottak, Shepard Krech III, J. Stephen Lansing, Melissa Leach, Richard B. Lee, Henry T. Lewis, Paul Little, Bonnie J. McCay, Luisa E. Maffi, Kay Milton, Emilio F. Moran, Gary Nabhan, Virginia D. Nazarea, Richard Nelson, Bernard Nietschmann, Benjamin S. Orlove, Rajindra Puri, Laura Rival, Eric Ross, Eric Alden Smith, Susan C. Stonich, Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, Paige West, Bruce Winterhalder, and Andrew P. Vayda. The above lists are representative, but not necessarily exhaustive. For example, with only a few exceptions, the individuals identified are cultural anthropologists. Ecologically oriented archaeologists and biological (physical) anthropologists are largely ignored simply because there are other courses available on the history of those subfields and time is very limited for this seminar. A special class project in anticipation of the Department’s 75th anniversary will be conduced to research and co-author a brief history of the development of ecological

anthropology at UHM through surveying the work of associated faculty and staff including Gregory Bateson, Henry T. Lewis, Richard A. Gould, Leonard Mason, Richard K. Nelson, A. Terry Rambo, Michael R. Dove, Jefferson Fox, Gerald Martin, Bion Griffin, and Douglas Yen. Each student should selected one of the above individuals to research and then distribute by email a brief report (a text of one page typed single spaced and accompanying bibliography) in advance of the special seminar on this topic. Later the instructor will draft a composite essay, and then this will be revised through contributions by each student. In several cases, the individual for this special report may be the same as either the historical or contemporary scholar. When the instructor is informed of each student’s topical and regional interests, then he can help provide information and advice to assist in the selection of appropriate individuals. For each individual researched, most relevant for this seminar is information on the individual’s personality, intellectual biography and development, a time line, theoretical and methodological orientations, topical and regional teaching and research specializations, contributions and limitations, publications and other professional activities, and key primary and secondary sources. The historical, social, cultural, and political context of the individual should also be discussed. FORMAT The research for these two papers should be based on reading as much as possible published by and about each of the two scholars investigated (see the attached Appendices for resources). For the contemporary scholar, the student should also try to conduct an email interview. Such an interview might also be conducted for a historic scholar, if a student of that individual is available, such as Richard Wilk for Robert Netting, Kenneth Good for Marvin Harris, or Peter Brosius for Roy Rappaport. Finally, building on relevant aspects of the two previous exercises, each student will use a PowerPoint presentation to summarize a research proposal or report for the seminar. (See attached guidelines for a research proposal in Appendix II). Some possible topics for this report include biodiversity conservation, biophilia, diversity principle, ecolinguistics, “ecologically noble savage”, environmental justice, global warming, landscape ecology, land and resource conflicts, mining, and sacred places as protected areas. Each of the three regular seminar papers should be about five pages single-spaced exclusive of the bibliography. Follow carefully the style of the American Anthropologist. Include an abstract, introduction, discussion, and conclusion. Insert subheadings, notes, and references cited. Circulate your paper to the seminar participants one week in advance as an email attachment to allow others the opportunity to read it and formulate comments and questions for the next seminar discussion.

A fourth paper is required as well in connection with the Department’s 75th anniversary, as indicated previously. Several telephone interviews may be conducted during the class with selected ecological anthropologists on the mainland, depending on class interests and the availability of the individual. It may be feasible to incorporate some local faculty as visitors in the seminar for special topics as well. OBJECTIVES This course has the following eight objectives with related learning outcomes: 1. explore and become familiar in general with the intellectual history of ecological anthropology during the 20th century to the present, including the evolution of its more important ideas, questions, problems, issues, and trends; 2. explore and become familiar in depth with two or three ecological anthropologists whose work is of special relevance to your own interests; 3. provide background on specific theories and methods useful for the development of an individual research proposal or report; 4. explore and become familiar with key print and internet resources available on the subject and accumulate a composite bibliography as well as a list of the interests and contributions of the more important individuals; 5. assemble a compilation of brief papers on the intellectual biography of key historical and contemporary ecological anthropologists that may be used in subsequent teaching; 6. contribute to researching and co-authoring a brief essay on the history of the development of ecological anthropology at UHM which will be posted on the Department website under the Ecological Anthropology Program. 7. practice giving brief professional presentations with PowerPoint; and 8. receive friendly and constructive but critical feedback for your own professional improvement from the instructor and fellow students. Anthropology students may use the exercises in this course to develop one or more chapters for an M.A. thesis or a Ph.D. dissertation, or for one or more papers for Plan B of the M.A.

GRADING The course grade will be based on class participation in facilitating the discussion of assigned reading (20%); the 75th anniversary report (5%); and the three presentations (historical scholar, contemporary scholar, and research proposal or report) (25% each). The instructor’s grading is based on your demonstration of graduate level quantity and quality of scholarship as displayed in the various venues indicated above under “Format” as well as on producing clear, concise, analytical, critical, substantial, and relevant presentations. See below the section on guidelines for PowerPoint presentations (Appendix I). TEXTBOOKS As previously mentioned, there is no adequate single comprehensive textbook for this seminar. Therefore, four books are required for every student to read thoroughly and carefully to discuss in class in detail: Crumley, Carole L., ed., 2001, New Directions in Anthropology and Environment: Intersections, Walnut Creek, CA: AltaMira Press. Dove, Michael R., and Carl Carpenter, eds., 2008, Environmental Anthropology: A Historical Reader, Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishing. Ellen, Roy, 1982, Environment, Subsistence and System: The Ecology of Small-Scale Social Formations, Cambridge, UK:Cambridge University Press. Russell, Diane, and Camilla Harshbarger, 2003, GroundWork for Community-Based Conservation, Walnut Creek, CA: AltaMira Press. Instead of reading each of these books in sequence, chapters from each are integrated around the main approaches to ecological anthropology and other topics. There will be a division of labor among seminar participants by chapters to serve as facilitators of the seminar discussion of these books and thereby promote active learning. SUMMARY This seminar explores the origin and evolution of the intellectual history of ecological anthropology through the 20th century to the present. It is based on a combination of discussions of assigned readings with each chapter led by a student facilitator, and on three fairly short papers plus a very brief fourth paper augmented by PowerPoint summaries.

APPENDIX I. POWERPOINT GUIDELINES Contents Any report should incorporate substantial contents. However, the report also needs to be clear and concise. Drafting an outline first will help. Identify three to five main points near the beginning of your report and repeat them again near the end in order to reinforce your message. Keep the presentation focused on these main points. Package your information and ideas in a way that will attract and maintain the attention of your audience. Your opening statement is most important in this regard. A personal story or anecdote can be useful to set the stage. Oral Communication The most interesting and important ideas will not be effectively communicated to your audience unless they are delivered skillfully. The main skills in oral communication are to attract and hold the attention of your audience from the outset; vary your voice to avoid a monotone; maintain eye contact with the entire audience during your talk; judiciously use appropriate body language such as facial expressions and hand gestures; and identify and emphasize your main message(s) near the start and again at the close of your presentation. You need to repeatedly rehearse your presentation to be sure that you can confidently and comfortably deliver it within the time period available. Repeatedly rehearsing in front of a few of your acquaintances and getting their constructive feedback can help a lot. (A handout is available with more detail on oral communication skills). PowerPoint Limit the number of frames in your PowerPoint to about one frame for every one to two minutes according to the time available. For example, use about a dozen frames if you have only 15 minutes for your presentation, or about two dozen frames if you have a half of an hour. When you start developing your PowerPoint presentation, select a frame design and color combination that best reflect your subject matter. Be sure to use a strong contrast in the colors of the text and background. For instance, it is easy for your audience to read something like a yellow text on a dark blue background, or vice versa. Avoid using light colors for both text and background. Use a bold font in the largest size that will fit on the frame. The goal is to design the PowerPoint so that it can be easily read by the audience without straining. It should also be aesthetically pleasing. Limit the text on each frame of the PowerPoint to a few key words or phrases avoiding too much detail. The text is simply a guide to help your memory as speaker and an outline for the audience to help them follow the main points of your talk. Do not read the text on each frame to your audience; they are literate and will be more actively engaged in your presentation if they read the text on each frame for themselves. Instead, explain the key words and phrases on each frame to elaborate on the main points outlined. If you use a quote, then ask the audience to read it for themselves in order to involve them more actively in the presentation. Use a few striking but relevant illustrations or images for most frames, but not necessarily on every one of

13

them. Carefully selecting images that are the most relevant and of the highest quality greatly enhances your PowerPoint. Images may be found at http://www.google.com, http://www.yahoo.com, http://www.flickr.com, and possibly on the department, faculty, or other website of the individual or subject of inquiry. Sometimes special effects or gimmicks with PowerPoint such as animation can enhance a presentation, but if they are not handled very carefully then they may be distracting for the audience, especially in a short presentation. Your primary goal is to inform your audience, rather than dazzle them with your technological skills and in the process sacrifice your message. Video segments may be useful, if you have time and if they can be accessed easily and quickly (e.g., http://www.YouTube.com). However, usually it is most convenient to simply use a video tape or DVD set beforehand at the appropriate place to begin the segment you wish to show, instead of inserting the video clip in your PowerPoint beforehand and then during your talk waiting for the download when you wish to show it. CD/USB You should bring your PowerPoint file on a CD, USB, or other external storage device that can be installed easily and quickly in the computer provided in the meeting room, rather than wasting time installing your laptop, trying to download the PowerPoint from your email, or some other venue. Be sure to test and rehearse with any equipment in advance in order to avoid any frustration with technical problems for you and your audience. ____________________________________________________________________________ APPENDIX II. RESEARCH PROPOSAL GUIDELINES While there is considerable mysticism about research, actually it is nothing more than simply pursuing the answer to a specific question about a particular topic. In turn, a research proposal is primarily an action plan to find the answer. Whether your proposal is for a graduate committee, grant funds, a research permit, or some other purpose, basically you are selling an idea; that is, doing something that is interesting and important to attract the time and resources of others. It must also demonstrate that you are competent to successfully conduct the research. Accordingly, everything must be done to communicate as clearly, concisely, and convincingly as possible. The entire process is made far easier as well as much more efficient and effective, if, at the very outset, you can identify as clearly and concisely as possible a question to pursue within a particular topic and/or area. That primary question may in turn be divided into a set of several secondary questions, and each of those into a set of tertiary questions. At some stage, one or more of these questions may be formally stated as hypotheses to actually test with data.

14

Most research proposals include the following items, whether or not they are explicitly identified by subheadings. However, some authors, supervisors, granting agencies, and others may have their own specifications. Depending on the item, about two to four pages (typed, double-spaced) should be sufficient. About 15-20 pages are necessary for a solid proposal. Remember, the more a busy reviewer has to read, the less their interest and approbation! You have to strike a balance in providing information which is sufficient but not excessive. Title Page What is the topic? Who are the researchers and where are they located? On a separate title page are usually listed the title and subtitle of the research project; the name, institutional affiliation, address and other contact information (telephone, FAX, email, webpage) for the investigator(s); and the exact date. Abstract What are the three to five most important points to inform the reader about your research project? About one page containing a paragraph on each point should be sufficient. The abstract is the single most important part of a research proposal, because it sets the stage for the reader and may be the only part that is actually read carefully. It may also be published by a granting agency. Furthermore, writing a good abstract will facilitate writing the remainder of the proposal, although the abstract should be revised afterward. Introduction What is so interesting and important about this topic? What are some of the most important questions remaining to be answered or subtopics yet to be explored? The first sentence and paragraph of the introduction are especially critical and should be carefully crafted because they are likely to either attract or repel the reader. Background and Theory

15

What background does the reviewer need to have presented, or to recognize that you have, in order to be able to assess the project, or to be convinced of its merit? What are the gaps or deficiencies in what is already known about the subject? How will this approach differ or add something new? What anthropological paradigms (conceptual frameworks) and theory or theories (general or abstract statements) will guide the collection, interpretation, and analysis of the data? The background includes a survey of what is already known about the topic as revealed by a review of the most relevant literature. This section should not try to discuss everything that has ever been written, but only adequately survey the publications that are clearly indispensable. Any question or topic is potentially quicksand, and graduate student proposals are often far too ambitious, reflecting more a lifetime career in research than a readily manageable project within a year or two. One way to reduce a project to something manageable is to frame it as a series of progressive stages, realizing that the first stage alone would be sufficient for a thesis or dissertation if time runs out. Question and/or Problem Statement What do you really want to find out most of all about a topic? What are the most important questions (primary, secondary, tertiary) to adequately explore this topic? How can these be framed as a basic problem statement? A question or problem may be a completely new idea, a contradiction to an old idea, a new approach to it, or address previous deficiencies or gaps. Methods What are the best ways to find answers to the research question(s)? Among the various methods that could be applied in data collection, analysis, and interpretation, which are the most appropriate and most feasible with the resources you have available? (Here resources include training, skills, funds, time, and so on). Several different methods may be complementary in providing more thorough data and perspectives on the selected topic than any single method alone. Also, ideally, triangulation can

16

be applied; that is, using several different independent methods to collect the same data and cross-check one another's data. Significance Why should anyone really care about this project beyond your own curiosity? In particular, why should anyone invest money, time, expertise, or other assistance in this project? What are its potential theoretical, methodological, and/or practical benefits? What will its contributions be to you, the hosts (community, institution, and country), science, the profession, and the public? What will be the final tangible product(s) such as publications? (If a thesis or dissertation, include a table of contents, perhaps as an appendix). Next to the abstract, this may well be the most important section of the proposal, because this is the last part of the text read and where the author closes the sale on the key idea(s). Schedule How will time be allocated in pursuing the answers to the questions posed for the research project? Is this allotment really adequate and practical? For a one-year project, a monthly breakdown of research activities in outline form is most desirable. Budget How will money be allocated in pursuing this research? Will this amount be adequate and practical? Be prepared to receive less funding than requested! The budget may include travel, housing, subsistence, equipment (durable goods), supplies, assistant fees and gifts, honoraria for co-investigators, and many other kinds of items.

17

Accurate estimates of major cost items and a brief justification are necessary, such as for a camera or laptop. (Usually the justification for each major expense is placed in a footnote). Also, it should be specified that after the end of the project expensive items of equipment will be donated to the community or host institution rather than retained for personal use. (Many granting agencies require account records including receipts to demonstrate how the money was spent). Appendices What kinds of additional information may be helpful to a reviewer which better fit after the main text of the proposal? Appendices may incorporate such things as sample questionnaires; a regional map locating the study site(s); personal statement of professional responsibility or ethics including safeguards for human subjects; a copy of a national research permit; general "To Whom It May Concern" letters of introduction and support from supervisors and/or others; and a curriculum vita or resume (short version of CV). References Cited or Bibliography What books, articles, and other publications have been cited in the text of the proposal? Are any additional ones needed? Full and accurate bibliographic citations should be given. You can not cover the relevant literature exhaustively, but should include indispensable items. Also, citations should include the most recent literature. ____________________________________________________________________________ APPENDIX III.
