Conference Podcasting: Anthropologists thrilled to have their speeches recorded

by lorenz on Mar 30, 2007 in Open Access Anthropology and Knowledge Sharing, anthropology (general), University / Academia, internet

Are we on the way to "Open Access Conferences"? As already announced, several sessions at the conference of the Society for Applied Anthropology (SfAA) will be published as podcasts. Jen Cardew who has taken the initiative to this project reports that all presenters (except for one) were very happy to have their speeches to be recorded:

Presenters were; Paul Farmer, Phillipe Bourgois, Merrill Singer, Linda Whiteford, Carolyn Nordstrom, Barbara Rylko-Bauer, Didier Fassin, and Jame Quesada, all of whom were excellent speakers with excellent things to say. The room was packed and I believe there was 300+ people at any given time. These are the rockstars of anthropology. All of the presenters were thrilled to have their speeches recorded for the podcasting project and they even had me announce the project to the group. The fact that all of these presenters were excited about the opportunity to be recorded made the project worth it to me in itself. It actually was quite an honor :)
(...)
It was very reassuring to see that the anthropologists were open to new technology, as we are not known as a "techy" or "progressive with new technology" field :)

There are also some students doing informal interviews and some minimal coverage of the conference, which will be published on the web, she writes. Their goal was to seek out how anthropologists are using technology.

Hi Lorenz,
