WAPA federal changes survey and webpage

[Terry Redding]

Hello everyone:

Anthropologists who were impacted by the dramatic changes to federal agencies, funding, and policies in the past year are encouraged to share their experiences and tell their stories in a structured questionnaire sponsored by WAPA.

 
The information gathered will contribute to an understanding of how these historic actions, such as revoking grants, demonizing DEI, cutting staff, forcing retirements, pressuring universities, and eliminating entire agencies have affected the professional activities of anthropologists. Personal and financial effects will also be elicited.

To learn more and to take the survey, go to: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MQ6M3QK.

 
Please share this link widely with relevant colleagues. Even if you weren't impacted by these changes, consider those in your network who might want to tell their story.

WAPA has also created a webpage to consolidate materials, resources, and activities related to the federal changes. Visit the page and submit any additional, relevant resources and information that inform and track the impacts, or offer support: https://wapadc.org/fedanthro.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Terry
