President’s letter
Dear NAPA Members,
As NAPA President, I am entering new spaces and conversations about the state of anthropology in this historic moment. These encounters are revealing. Many of us are following global news stories that call out for the expertise of anthropological mindsets and methodologies. At the same time, we are witnessing the diminishment or wholesale erasure of jobs, sectors, departments, or research paradigms that advance anthropological understanding. What are practicing and applied anthropologists able to do at this moment?
At the section level, the NAPA GC is taking steps to strengthen opportunities to support AAA membership and leadership. We are going about this in two ways. First, we are participating in the realignment of the AAA publications portfolio through convenings held by the Future of Anthropology Communications Committee (FoACC).
You may have heard that AAA is working to consolidate its portfolio of 22 publications into a handful of more collaborative journals that will bring together groups of publishing sections into single thematic, peer-reviewed publications. Anyone active in the publishing sphere knows of the dramatic changes occurring inside this field with significant consequences for the future of research journals in all disciplines. The same is true for AAA. Increasing expenses combined with declining readership and, in some cases, submissions, are creating pressure on the viability of such a large portfolio. (For comparison, the American Geophysical Union with some 60,000 members actively supports 22 publications as well).
Jonathan Maupin, the current editor of the Annals of Anthropological Practice (AAP), and I are working with FoACC to explore the options while maintaining the presence and visibility of practicing and applied anthropology within any new publication framework. As our journal reaches its milestone 50th volume soon, change is on the horizon for 2026. I welcome your thoughts on how the future should look for AAP.
Second, the GC is working to network NAPA more deeply into conversations about the future of AAA and to reinforce partnerships with related societies and professional associations. We sense an opportunity to expand the influence of PPA anthropologists within the association. To that end, our leadership team and committees are in close contact with AAA staff and board members. This work is meant to amplify the contributions of NAPA across the membership.
Our discussions are focused on future positioning and expansion of the Careers Expo, a signature feature of the Annual Meeting, as well as our content offerings, including sNAPAshots , our Professional Development Workshops, Mentoring Program, and other endeavors. As always, NAPA’s committees are looking for a few good anthropologists who want to expand their networks, create impact, and extend the reach of our field.
As we enter summer, I urge you to share back with me the ways in which our section can serve your needs. Your participation as NAPA members is vital and your ideas welcome! Feel free to reach me at suanna@myheadfort.com.
Remember to celebrate Pride month and the work of colleagues in the LGBTQ+ community – not just in June, but across the year. And I hope you find a few moments of rest and relaxation this summer as world events swirl around us.
Yours sincerely,
Suanna Selby Crowley

Senior Editor’s Note
Author: Joshua Liggett, MS, LSSBB, CPHQ
Communications Committee Co-Chair
Dear readers,
As June draws to a close, amidst the rapid changes in our world and communities. I hope we take some time to consider our place in the narrative and the future we envision being constructed around us. We have a unique confluence of perspective and means of bringing our interpretations of the world around us to our communities and our leaders in an effort to effect the change we can see our communities need. I hope this issue empowers and emboldens you to action and the meaningful conversations that will change the world around us. We can meet this moment with kindness and solidarity with those most at risk during these difficult times, as well as grace for ourselves.
As always, we’d love to have you join NAPA and any of our committees, as we seek to meet the needs of our Practicing, Professional, and Applied community of anthropologists!
I’d also like to extend a special thank you to our team of editors for their tireless efforts: Jacqueline, Strick, Suzanne, Isabela, and Sam! Y’all are amazing!

Editor Highlights
Author: Isabela Pardo
As someone who just graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in linguistics and sociology in May of 2025 from Pomona College, I would certainly consider myself a budding social scientist. Though I do have several exciting internships and poster presentations already under my belt, I certainly have a long way to go before I would be considered at the level of a lecturer, author, or professional in my field. However, I feel confident and eager to continue to pursue a career in the social sciences based on the mentorship I have already received and the work I have seen of the amazing researchers and academics in the field today. I feel similarly about my own peers, regardless of their fields of study, who both inspire me and drive me to work as hard as they do.
I endeavor to become a professor with a PhD in sociolinguistics, but I am excited to see what research I tackle and projects I complete between then and now. I am constantly inspired by the fields of anthropology, sociology, and linguistics, and I hope to take many twists and turns on my career and educational path to explore my passions in all of them.

Observations & Resources from a Queer Anthropologist
Author: Joshua Liggett
A Brief Primer on
At the start of LGBTQIA+ Pride Month, I was stricken with conflicting emotions: satisfaction with the resilience of our communities throughout the years, and trepidation, as many of the struggles we have collectively overcome have returned, threatening our most vulnerable community and family members, particularly those of us who are transgender.
Some of the Queer experience in America mirrors some of our struggles as a discipline. From the usual misunderstandings to misattributions, public discourse wends from mischaracterizations (sorry, paleontologists) to blatant lies about us. As professionals and practitioners, we have often been excluded from discussions that shape our discipline as a whole. And yet, we are actively doing that important work, managing the gap between our discipline’s vision of itself and the “boots on the ground” realities of the work we do. Conversely, our academic colleagues are now facing department closures, and universities are abandoning our field – often at the behest of politicians who fail to grasp the importance of our work – both locally and worldwide. That, or they simply do not believe in its worth.
To center the queer experience in this article, I’ll focus on highlights of my community’s experiences in the United States, for additional context and perspectives there are a variety of texts and resources I’ve included below.
Stonewall Riots
While recorded Queer histories extend as far back as humanity’s in general, many Western civilizations have sought to criminalize a normal part of the human experience. However, in the 1950s in the United States, Queer communities began to band together (e.g., The Mattachine Society) and push for equality. Despite this, Queer Americans suffered ostracization and criminalization, regularly having our spaces raided by police who regularly assaulted people just looking for a safe place to be themselves. At the Stonewall Inn in New York, one such raid sparked six days of protests that brought the civil rights of Queer Americans to the forefront.
Christopher Street Liberation Day 1970
The year after, the same community that rose up in its own defense commemorated the experience with more protests and marching for equality. Associations like the Eastern Regional Conference of Homophile Organizations (ERCHO) and the Christopher Street Liberation Day Umbrella Committee planned and realized the Christopher Street Liberation Day March. Their efforts garnered an estimated 3,000-5,000 participants in the march, spanning from Greenwich Village to Central Park – over 50 blocks. In the words of activist Craig Schoonmaker, “People did not have power then; even now, we only have some. But anyone can have pride in themselves, and that would make them happier as people, and produce the movement likely to produce change.”
My First Pride and Beyond
Pride month is incredibly important, as an opportunity to for Queer Joy front to be center for everyone to observe. My first Pride was in 2008, just as my home state was ramping up with protests for and against marriage equality. My home state ultimately failed me, as had friends who voted their conscience to deny civil rights to myself and so many Americans like me. As with similarly maligned and vilified populations, we need allies who will stand with us, where friends may choose not to speak for us when the time comes. I was barely out of the closet and finding out what being a gay man meant to me, and this was one of the few venues I saw so much of my community joined together in solidarity and celebration. And so, we march. We march in conservative agricultural towns and large municipalities – where we are wanted, and where our neighbors wish we’d disappear. We stay loud; we stay visible. And, eventually, we win.
Now, I march as a Queer parent, to show my child that our family is something to take pride in and to celebrate. More than just a parade, I want the experience to empower my child to embrace whichever identities they connect with over the years without fear of judgement or ridicule. Moreover, I hope that this helps them know that their dads will be right there with them as we march together. Gay Rights, Trans Rights, Civil Rights, all of us have to work hand in hand to ensure we hold the steps we’ve made toward equality and recognize the humanity in each other, even when we don’t look like, love like, or live like each other. As my favorite sci-fi series often states: Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. This should be an ideal we all strive for, not just during Pride month or even as a discipline. Bringing unique minds together, we can solve even our stickier problems.
Today
Every June since 1999, US Presidents (barring this year’s administration) have declared June as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month nationally. Over the years we have fought for each step closer to equality from decriminalization to civil unions and freedom to serve and full marriage equality. Even now, efforts are unfolding to undo these efforts and roll back the clock on equality. Our transgender and gender-non-conforming community members are seeing the brunt of these assaults on our civil rights (alongside our immigrant family and friends). But the specter of a broader, calculated scope should not escape us.
And so, the fight continues, as does the need for Pride Month, with or without federal recognition. Our discipline would do well to learn from and instill the same resilience and fight that the Queer community continues to display.
We’re here, we’re Queer, and a fair number of us are anthropologists! Join us at a local parade and get to know us!

Earning Adulthood Through English Proficiency
Author: Ezekiel Kempster
In the fall and early winter of 2023, I conducted research at an adult English literacy program that catered to the large (and growing) foreign-born population in North Carolina’s rural foothills. The stated mission of the county’s Literacy Council Program was to teach English to adult students. The Literacy Council reasoned that this would facilitate students’ participation in local community activities and, ostensibly, encourage them to share these skills with their children. As a program entirely focused on adult English language education, however, something piqued my interest. The setting, both physically and socially, called to mind the hallways and classrooms of a typical elementary school or high school. Everything – from the lessons, classroom decor, and even the way the staff spoke to the adult students – seemed reminiscent of more juvenile school settings.
During my time attending classes at this program, I witnessed the staff using features of “motherese,” a Western child-directed speech register intended for use with children during their period of initial language acquisition. Some features of motherese include a higher pitch, sing-song intonation attached to questions, exaggerated and slowed intonation, short sentences, positive affect, simplified speech, repetition, etc. (Ochs & Schieffelin 1984: 281-283). By sliding into this register, educators effectively transformed their communication with adult students into what one might perceive as “baby talk.”
What I was witnessing at the Literacy Council went beyond a simplified version of the English language. Physical signs throughout the program, as well as direct language (i.e., use of terms like “girls” instead of “women” and “kids” instead of “students”) effectively indexed the adult migrants as being like children. Interestingly, the classroom decor matured as the students’ levels of English proficiency increased, meaning there were more physical signs indexing childhood in the “Level 1 Early Beginners” classroom than in the “Level 4 Advanced classroom.” The sequential “maturation” of these environments suggests that the students would, through a gradual refinement of their English language proficiency, become less childlike.
While many of the teaching tools, games, activities, and even the use of language in this program might serve some functions in language acquisition and literacy education, their relative utility is irrelevant to their simultaneous function of indexing the adult students as children. This effectively differentiates non-native English-speaking adults from native English-speaking adults. And yet, there is no hard evidence to suggest that motherese, when used in a pedagogical setting, actually facilitates language acquisition in adult populations. As such, the utilization of this register is suggestive of a rather different phenomenon, tangential to – though predicated upon – the goal of teaching adult students English.
Students often smiled politely during lessons. But outside the classrooms, they would sometimes laugh amongst themselves about the ways in which native English-speakers in their lives would struggle to help them understand things in English, repeating words over and over – words which held no meaning to them whatsoever. This alone does very little to improve one’s comprehension of a word or phrase. For example, you could tell someone, again and again, “I need you to move your car because I accidentally paid for that gas pump.” But the actual message locked in this sentence is only comprehensible if one has an adequate grasp of the English lexicon; saying it louder or slower will not suddenly and miraculously hand them the English proficiency to understand you.
While presenting this research, I have been asked if I believed that the students recognized that they were being spoken to as if they were small children. Even this, I claim, highlights an internalized cultural belief among many American English speakers: that a lack of English proficiency is somehow equal to a lack of intelligence or adult understanding. Further, many hallmarks of motherese persist in other alternative settings, such as long-term care facilities.
I often point to the research on the use of “elderspeak” by caregivers of dementia patients. There are many overlapping features between elderspeak and motherese, and elderspeak has also been described as a form of baby talk. Documented research shows that elderspeak can be perceived as patronizing, disrespectful, or infantilizing (Williams et al. 2009: 11-12). It can also lead to communication breakdown, exacerbating unwillingness to cooperate with carers’ instructions and demands (Corwin 2018: 724). This suggests that adults can (and often do) recognize when they are being spoken to – and treated as if – they lack the faculties traditionally associated with mature adults.
While this research may have only covered the linguistic indexing of childhood at one adult English literacy program in one part of the United States, this may be illustrative of a broader phenomenon and more common experience for non-native English speakers living in the United States and, potentially, other destinations for immigrants and refugees. In professional and educational settings, how might the use of indexical infantilization influence one’s impression of the English language, as well as the social, cultural, and/or economic opportunities associated with it? On top of the myriad, quotidian stressors immigrants and refugees are likely to face, such sociolinguistic challenges persist – even in places of language pedagogy. This is a question which applied and practicing anthropologists – particularly those with backgrounds in linguistic anthropology and education – are uniquely positioned to pursue.

ACRN: Career Transitions Webinars for Terminated Federal Employees
Author: Elizabeth Briody, Phd.
In February and March 2025, anthropologists were posting on LinkedIn seeking work in ever increasing numbers. On some days, multiple posts appeared declaring that those who had held roles in the U.S. government had suddenly lost their positions. Described as “crushing” or “an unprecedented hellscape,” it is not surprising that most were “utterly demoralized.” Situations were made worse by false statements from officials in which the federal workforce was “villainized in the press” and said to be “poor performers, lazy, and a drain on the American taxpayer.” This RIF (reduction in force) occurred in the wake of several rounds of layoffs across the technology sector where many anthropologists had been working. In addition to these cuts in industry and government, now anthropologists working in the nonprofit sector are facing similar challenges with Federal funding uncertainties and cuts to grants leading to staff reductions.
ACRN established a small working group in early April with two goals:
- Figure out ways to help support anthropologists and archaeologists whose jobs who had been terminated
- Carry out the plan.
Members of this working group included: Jennifer Studebaker, Kristin Hedges, Jose Santos, Gigi Taylor, Emily Brunson, and Elizabeth Briody.
We reached agreement quickly that career coaching was already available. Many career coaches stepped up to offer their services free of charge to those who had suffered job loss from federal positions. For example, Kyle Dietrich founded the #CoachingCollaborative, which since early May “has matched over 2,000 displaced workers with talented coaches and held over 10 virtual resourcing and skill development events, reaching over 2,500 people!” Kyle who holds a bachelor’s degree in anthropology, was laid off from his contract position with USAID as a Training and Learning Director.
As an alternative to coaching, we began by compiling an Open Google Doc of Career Transition Resources. This document contains a variety of resources related to networking, domains of anthropological practice, job resource lists, trainings, and resources for those facing a career transition, planned or not. We chose to use an open Google Doc so that resources can be continually updated. We will also be adding the registration links to our ongoing webinar series into this Google Doc (more on webinars below), and we invite you to contribute additional resources to it.
As we gathered these materials, it became clear that we could offer distinct types of webinars including listening sessions, networking events, and topical webinars related to careers and career pivoting. Ultimately, we settled on a schedule in which networking sessions with others who had lost their positions would be interspersed with career-related webinars. As these events roll out, we have gathered feedback on their overall effectiveness from attendees. We also make it clear in our announcements that these webinars are open to anyone who has lost a job, such as those who had been working in the tech arena.
The weekly, one-hour webinars are held on Fridays from 2:00-3:00 p.m. Eastern.
The May schedule consisted of the following webinars:
| Date | Presenter | Event Title |
| May 2 | Jose Santos and Robert H. Winthrop | “Communal Care”: A Listening Session |
| May 9 | Elizabeth K. Briody | Expanding Your Professional Network into a New Area of Work |
| May 16 | Nazia Hussain | Speed Networking |
| May 23 | Riall W. Nolan | Understanding Domain Analysis to Target Your Job Search |
| June 6 | Melissa Vogel | Speed Networking |
The schedule between June and mid-August consists of these webinars. You can register for these webinars through the appropriate Eventbrite link.
Help us reach those in transition. Please share information regarding the Google Doc of Career Transition Resources, as well as the webinars, to those who are part of your networks. Our goal is to help as many job seekers as possible. All webinar slide decks are posted within a week of the webinar on the ACRN website under “For Instructors” ® “Conferences and Workshops.”
