Dr. Strand publishes book, awarded grant
Dr. Strand鈥檚 book 鈥淎 Winning Dialect: Reinventing Linguistic Tradition in Rural Norway鈥� (UToronto Press) will be published in May. Dr. Strand has also been awarded a Wenner-Gren grant for upcoming ethnographic research. Dr. Strand, together with her anthropologist spouse and co-PI, Dr. Michael Wroblewski (GVSU), will study the effects of changing heritage farming practices and warming climate in rural Valdres, Norway, home to the largest intact transhumant farming zone in Europe. The aim is to understand the transformative roles of language and discourse in shaping interspecies relationships and ecologies in the Anthropocene. Using a combination of participant observation, interviews, and audio, photo, and video documentation of life and language in the rural st酶lsvidda (the mountainous summer-farming ecological zone), the project will investigate how a transforming environment, subsistence practices, interspecies relationships, and language mutually shape each other.READ -

The Routledge Handbook of Paleopathology (A.L. Grauer, ed.) London: Taylor and Francis. "The volume begins by exploring current methods and techniques employed by paleopathologists as means to highlight the range of data that can be generated, the types of questions that can be methodologically addressed, our current limitations, and goals for the future. Building on these foundations, the volume introduces a range of diseases and conditions that have been noted in the fossil, archaeological, and historical record, offering readers a foundational understanding of pathological conditions, along with their potential etiologies. Importantly, an evolutionary and highly contextualized assessment of diseases and conditions will be presented in order to demonstrate the need for adopting anthropological, biological, and clinical approaches when exploring the past and interpreting the modern world. The volume concludes with the contextualization of paleopathological research." -

Dr. Paula Tallman Publishes Two Articles on Health and Nutrition in the Amazon
Working in the Peruvian Amazon with then undergraduate student Giuliana Sanchez-Samaniego, new faculty member Dr. Paula Skye Tallman found that indigenous Awaj煤n community members were suffering from a "dual burden" of both under and over-nutrition (Tallman et al., 2021). Giuliana Sanchez-Samaniego took their research one step further by examining what community members were eating. She found that the diversity of traditional Awaj煤n diets has substantially decreased and been replaced with carbohydrate-heavy market foods (Sanchez-Samaniego et al., 2021), potentially explaining the trends they found in dietary health. Giuliana is now pursuing her PhD on cardiovascular health in the Peruvian Andes and continues to work with Dr. Tallman. Dr. Tallman encourages any LUC students interested in these topics to reach out to her (ptallman@luc.edu)! -
Dr. Nichols' new book, Exchanging Objects, is based on her research at the Smithsonian Institution.
As an historical account of the exchange of 鈥渄uplicate specimens鈥� between anthropologists at the Smithsonian Institution and museums, collectors, and schools around the world in the late nineteenth century, this book reveals connections between both well-known museums and little-known local institutions, created through the exchange of museum objects. It explores how anthropologists categorized some objects in their collections as 鈥渄uplicate specimens,鈥� making them potential candidates for exchange. This historical form of what museum professionals would now call deaccessioning considers the intellectual and technical requirement of classifying objects in museums, and suggests that a deeper understanding of past museum practice can inform mission-driven contemporary museum work. Read the introduction here. -
