In this paper we discuss how we arrived on three separate paths toward women-centered forms of organizing. We work with women's cooperative groups in rural communities of New Mexico, Chiapas, Mexico, and Cameroon, Africa. Our discussions began when Megan Snedden and Meghann Dallin took classes with Christine Eber at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces and participated in solidarity efforts with Chiapas cooperatives. After graduation, Megan went on to work locally and Meghann went to Cameroon.

Somewhat to my surprise, I've become a social and applied anthropologist. Certainly, I received a firm grounding in the hallowed fourfield approach both as an undergraduate and a graduate student, but I always supposed that the "lesser three fields" would merely serve as adjuncts to my career as an academic archeologist, useful mainly for teaching yet another generation of undergraduates the importance of eating mongongo nuts among the Bushmen. I began with an interest in Southwest anthropology and archeology and received a B.A. from the University of New Mexico and a doctorate from the University of Arizona. Yet even then I was interested in the full range of Indian America, contemporary as well as historic and prehistoric. Now I am founder and president of Bronitsky and Associates, a firm with offices in Denver, Colorado, and Bergamo, Italy, which works with American Indian individuals, communities and organizations throughout the United States (including Alaska) and Canada to bring to the world the best that Indian America has to offer. Over the last few years, among other accomplishments, we've toured a Comanche fluteplayer to Ireland, set up a one-man show for a hot glass artist from Isleta Pueblo, New Mexico, at the National Glass Museum in Finland, and gotten a Navajo writer published in Ireland—in Navajo, English, and Irish. How I got here from where I started—well, thereby hangs a tale.

The present article is dedicated to the problems of the organization and planning of scientific and research work of students of the University in English classes, gives grounds for the purposes and tasks of such competence-forming activity as part of the “Oriental studies” speciality program, the Russian State University for the Humanities. The article analyzes these competences, as well as forms and methods of their formation and development. The author presents demarcation of scientific knowledge and gives its characteristics: using most general qualities of a subject, objective reasoning, argumentativeness, results verifiability and reproducibility, consistency, practicality, capability to change, anticipating the future, making forecasts, methodological reflection. The author tried to analyze the reflexive component of scientific and research work of students in more detail. The article presents possible reflexive positions in the interaction between the teacher and the student and shows the dynamics of this interaction, i.e. gives a hierarchy of positions which the student can occupy in the educational process depending on how independent they are in their activity. The article also highlights the content of scientific and research work of students of the University in English classes on the basis of work with foreign texts in the macro-discourse for the “Oriental studies” speciality. The given foundations of the organization and content of scientific and research work of students have been regularly used in English language classes, as well as in optional forms of scientific activity. The students have shown good results and passion for this kind of work, which confirms the correctness of this approach.
