A PhD in Applied Anthropology program has been authorized for implementation in 1984-5 at the University of South Florida. The program will focus primarily on training for employment in research, administration, planning and evaluation functions in such domains of application as health practice and services delivery, community, regional and international development, urban planning, design and services delivery, education and cultural resources management. In addition, training will be provided for those interested in teaching applied anthropology in academic settings. Applicants for admission are required to have in hand an MA degree in anthropology or a related discipline. The program, while independent, complements the MA in Applied Anthropology which was implemented in 1974-5.

My internship was with Honeywell Corporation in St. Petersburg, Florida, working on a project closely associated with the Pinellas County Task Force on Day Care for Mildly Ill Children. According to my faculty mentors at the University of South Florida (USF), it was "out of sequence" in the sense that I was involved in it before I had met all the pre-internship requirements of the applied anthropology program. This came about because in early 1989 I went along with a faculty member to a meeting of that task force (then called ProjectLink because its aim was to connect business firms with providers of day care). In the course of the meeting I volunteered, or was volunteered, to begin some of the research necessary to carry out the task force aim of developing company-sponsored day care for children who were mildly ill. Before I knew it, I was deeply involved in addressing a fascinating set of problems and needs of modern urban life.

Nursing and anthropology have much in common, since both professions aim for a holistic view of their subjects. My interest in health and in culture started in adolescence and continued throughout my nursing career. The doctoral program in applied anthropology at the University of South Florida, in which I used my training as a clinical nurse specialist to meet the requirement for an external specialization, built on these two interests and has had a continuing impact on my subsequent professional career.

Alvin W. Wolfe made a number of important contributions to applied anthropology throughout a career lasting nearly 50 years. Born in Nebraska in 1928, he joined the US Army in 1945 where he received training in Japanese language and culture, as well as participating in the armored and the airborne corps. Using the GI Bill he enrolled in the University of Nebraska where he majored in anthropology and English, graduating in 1950. He became interested in archaeology by working in a museum under the direction of archaeologist A.T. Hill. To learn more about the other fields of anthropology, he enrolled at Northwestern University where he did dissertation fieldwork among the Ngombe, of the then-Belgian Congo, in 1952-53 under the direction of Melville J. Herskovits. In 1954-55, he was the Logan Museum Teaching Fellow at Beloit College, from 1955-57 he taught at Middlebury College, 1957-61 at Lafayette College, 1961-68 at Washington University in St. Louis, and from 1968-74 at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. In 1974, he joined the Department of Anthropology at the University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa, as part of the first Master's program in applied anthropology. He became the program's internship coordinator, and he participated in the establishment of the first Ph.D. in applied anthropology in 1984. In Tampa, he became active in social and medical service organizations, especially those involving the poor, children, families, and the elderly. He retired from USF as Distinguished Service Professor in May, 2003.

Similar Experience

At the University of South Florida (USF) we have had almost twenty years of experience with internships in training practicing anthropologists at the master's level and nearly ten years of similar experience in our doctoral program. By the summer of 1992, the applied anthropology programs had produced 148 master's graduates and 10 doctoral graduates. In this issue of Practicing Anthropology we share some of what we have learned by highlighting the internship and subsequent professional experiences of a few of these graduates.

Cooperative Venture

The editors would simply like to conclude our second issue, Archaeology and Ethnography of Cultural Heritage Management, by thanking the people who were instrumental in putting this issue together. Special thanks go to Paul Shackel and David Gadsby of the University of Maryland for recruiting experts in cultural heritage research and practice among their colleagues, and for prodding them along as needed. We also offer sincere thanks to Antoinette Jackson of the University of South Florida for providing the same kind of assistance with her students. This was truly a cooperative venture between two universities that are dedicated to promoting cooperation between archaeologists and cultural anthropologists in the protection and management of cultural resources and, as Cheryl White points out in her article, ultimately protecting people whose cultural integrity and lives are threatened. At a time when anthropology is increasingly threatened by division and fragmentation, it is nice to be reminded that ethnographers and archaeologists can come together to work on both scholarly, humanitarian and practical issues of great importance. Thirdly, we offer special thanks to Erve Chambers for providing an excellent overview of cultural heritage studies in his introduction to this issue. As always, thanks to Neil Hann for keeping us on track, dealing with last minute substitutions and getting everything to fit together.

Internship Training

The University of South Florida MA Program in Anthropology will change some of its requirements, beginning in the fall of 1983. The primacy emphasis of the program will continue to be the training of practicing anthropologists. During its nine years of existence, USF's Graduate Program in Anthropology has attracted considerable interest nationwide. It was the first exclusively applied program to focus explicitly on masters' level training in applied anthropology as preparation for other than academic careers. Various aspects of the program have recently been discussed in Practicing Anthropology, vol. 4, no. 3-4). Also, the program and especially its internship component were recently addressed in a review of Internship Training in Applied Anthropology: A Five Year Review (A. Wolfe, E. Chambers and J. Smith) by John van Willigen in Human Organization (vol. 41:3).

The University of Florida / IFAS South Florida Beef Forage Program (SFBFP) is composed of county Extension faculty and state specialists.  The members, in conjunction with the UF/IFAS Program Evaluation and Organizational Development unit, created a survey in 1982, which is used to evaluate ranch management practices.  The survey is updated and distributed every 5 years to ranchers in 14 South Florida counties: Charlotte, Collier, DeSoto, Glades, Hardee, Hendry, Highlands, Hillsborough, Lee, Manatee, Martin, Okeechobee, Polk, and Sarasota.  The responses are anonymous.
