Status Of Women

The articles in this special issue of Practicing Anthropology grew out of a symposium on "Women Anthropologists in the Public and Private Sectors: Opportunities for Non-Academic Career Advancement" sponsored by the Committee on the Status of Women (COSWA) at the 1981 Annual Meeting of the American Anthropological Association. As organizers of the panel, Donald Lindburg and I sought participants from each subfield of anthropology working in both the public and private sectors. In the first regard we were successful, with presentations by social, linguistic and physical anthropologists and two archeologists. In the second regard we were less successful, with four of the five panelists—Sibley, Wynn, Wildesen, and Brockman—employed by private concerns.

Ethnographic Data

The application of anthropology to practical settings affords a special opportunity for communicating insights to co-workers, practitioners, colleagues in other disciplines, and to the discipline itself. The National Association for the Practice of Anthropology (NAPA) through the annual meetings of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) has been providing a series of programs to showcase the contributions of applied anthropology. These have included such sessions as "Projecting Anthropology to the Public" and "Making Ethnographic Data Useful to Decision-makers." In 1990 we sponsored the first in a series of seminars on "Publishing Practitioners: Opportunities for Communicating Anthropological Insights" to encourage those who work in applied settings to write about their findings in ways that give voice to their work.
