University of Vermont, Department of Anthropology, shared an update PostedFriday, August 12, 2022 at 1:52 PM UVM Anthropology Fulbright Scholars Deborah Blom and Jeanne Shea, Seek Knowledge Around the World- this prestigious award launches new research, cross-cultural and informal diplomacy, & friendship. Jeanne Shea thinks Taiwan has some things to teach Vermont about caring for old people—and vice versa. At the Institute of Gerontology, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) in Tainan, Taiwan, Shea will conduct research on Taiwan’s social policies for the elderly and their caregivers. Archeologist Deborah Blom has active research at Tiwanaku, Bolivia with Bolivian scholars, and local stakeholders for 25+ yrs. Blom says, “archeology for me is not just about digging. It's about working with multitudes of individuals, with diverse perspectives, to learn about the past together.” Recognizing the complexity, pain, and ambiguity of many anthropological questions is not a barrier to insight for her, but rather is the necessary starting point for authentic and mutual discoveries.

University of Vermont, Department of Anthropology, shared an update PostedFriday, August 12, 2022 at 12:01 PM Vermont Reads 2022: The Most Costly Journey (El Viaje Más Caro), Much work on Vermont dairy farms is done by people from Latin America who milk cows and tend calves. The VT Reads 2022 choice, The Most Costly Journey tells stories of 19 workers in their own words. Illustrated by New England cartoonists the idea began at The Open Door Clinic/Middlebury. Half the clinic’s patients are agricultural immigrant workers who stay close to the farms for fear of deportation & lack of transportation. Nurse Julia Doucet imagined Spanish-language comics that are enjoyed by people of all ages and literacy levels in Latin America. Julia, staff & volunteers, UVM Dept of Anthropology faculty and UVM Extension’s Bridges to Health Program collected the workers stories. Vermont Folklife Center connected cartoonists including - Tillie Walden, Glynnis Fawkes, and Marek Bennett and UVM Humanities Center and VT Community Foundation funded English translations with a foreword by VT novelist Julia Alvarez.
