It's only a few weeks ago that anthropologist Michael Wesch explained in an extremly popular YouTube-video how collaborative web technologies change scholarship. Now Jen Cardew at Synthesis of Thoughts tells us that several sessions at the conference of the Society for Applied Anthropology (SfAA) are set to be recorded and published as podcasts.
A new website is set up: http://www.sfaapodcasts.net/ The first podcast will be up by April 7th.
That's good news. Last summer, anthropologists were criticized for being the last primitive tribe on earth because they didn't embrace the possibillities provided by the digital era. Several times, I've written about how difficult it is to get information about what's going on on conferences.

Well thanks for the links Lorenz!
Since I'll be in the mix of the podcast project I'll week it's unlikely I'll get to attend any other sessions- but I'll be sure to post about the reception by folks at the conference about the podcasts. The podcasts were inspired in part by you in a way, your wanted to know more about the conferences led me to believe there might be a demand for such a thing

Thanks, cool. There'll be a demand, at least in the blogosphere. I'm looking forward to the first anthropology conference postcasts ever.
But I suppose not all researchers like to be filmed and postcasted?

Hi there,
It's actually going to be audio-only recordings this time around. There are plans in the works to continue this next year and I hope to add video then. We've had a surprisingly warm welcome thus far- only one speaker has declined to be recorded and almost everyone else has actually thanked me! We did session TH-123 and 153 yesterday with the folks that set the tone for anthropology these days (Whiteford, Singer, Farmer, Bourgois, Fassin, Bylko-Bauer, Nordstrom, Quesada) and all of these presenters were thrilled! I think that the fact they support it will make others more receptive (or at least that's what I'm hoping!)
