Drawing from the artists and scholars in the SAR community who help us better understand our own humanity, SAR Connects delivers inspiration directly to you at a time when inspiration is needed the most.

McGirt v. Oklahoma

This week SAR welcomed Angela Riley and Jonodev Chaudhuri for a deep dive into the US Supreme Court McGirt v. Oklahoma ruling. The case addressed whether Oklahoma state courts had jurisdiction to try a citizen of the Creek Nation for criminal matters. On July 9, 2020, the court, in a 5-4 ruling, decided that under the Major Crimes Act, lands reserved for the Creek Nation in eastern Oklahoma constituted Indian Country. As a result, the state of Oklahoma could not legally try a Creek citizen for criminal conduct in state court.

Riley and Chaudhuri discussed what this ruling means for Oklahoma’s Native American communities and beyond.

"How to Study Meaning at Scale: AI and Big Data Ethnography, Microcultures and the Future of Innovation" with Ujwal Arkalgud

This Anthro Life is a podcast exploring humanity through the lens of the social sciences. In a recent episode, the host asks how artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data could be used by researchers to help us understand ourselves better.

"Culture is culture. It doesn't matter how you get at it, but the point is in the modern context, there are certain ways to get at it in a faster and more efficient manner. And that's what we're trying to do."

—Ujwal Arkalgud

How to Publish Your First Book: SAR Press Talks to Nicholas Barron

The mission of SAR Press encompasses not only publishing research at the forefront of anthropology and Southwest and Native studies, but also providing resources to our past, present, and future scholars, as well as any scholar looking for more information about the publishing process.

To that end, SAR Press director Sarah Soliz is launching a new SAR blog series comprised of interviews with diverse scholars who have recently published or are in the midst of publishing their first book and who can offer guidance and encouragement to others. 

The first interview is with Nicholas Barron, SAR’s 2020 William Y. and Nettie K. Adams summer scholar. While at SAR, Barron worked on a book manuscript titled “Applying Anthropology, Assembling Community: The Co-production of Social Science and the Pascua Yaqui Tribe in Southern Arizona,” in which he maps the ways that members of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe have selectively and creatively engaged the discipline of anthropology in their efforts to assemble and reassemble themselves as a distinct culture and polity.

"Working Hands, Indebted Bodies: The Bioarchaeology of Labor and Inequality in an Era of Progress"

Wednesday, November 4, 2:00 p.m. (MST)

Hosted Online: Register Here

Join Alanna Warner-Smith (PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology at Syracuse University and SAR’s 2020 Paloheimo fellow) for her talk discussing how "slow science" and "slow archaeology" might be applied to bioarchaeology by looking at the Huntington Anatomical Collection and specifically focusing on the collection’s Irish immigrants, who lived, worked, and died in New York City in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Taking the skeleton as a record of lived experience, life-course approaches interpret evidence of health and activity across individuals’ entire lives. A "slow" approach also draws together multiple lines of evidence—skeletal, archival, and material—to disentangle the processes shaping bodies and lived experiences. Warner-Smith’s presentation will examine the ways in which a "slow bioarchaeology" informs the categories we use, the questions we raise, and the phenomena that form the focus of our studies.
