Le Centre de recherche caraïbes est créé en 1969. Dans les années soixante, les autorités antillaises se sont intéressées aux activités d'anthropologues de l'Université de Montréal, ceux-ci ayant publié de nombreux livres, thèses et articles sur les Antilles de langue française à partir de 1960. Un domaine de Fonds Saint-Jacques a donc été concédé à ces chercheurs de l'Université de Montréal afin que ceux-ci en fassent le siège du Centre de recherche caraïbes. Son premier directeur est Jean Benoist (1969-1979). Le thème général des recherches effectuées au Centre porte sur les transformations survenues de 1960 à 1970 dans la société antillaise quant aux grandes plantations et au système social qui s'y rattache. Le Centre cesse ses activités en 1988.

I strive to understand the dynamic and evolving relationship between people and the ecosystems they form a part of. I have a special interest in how human cognition, culture, and society influence the interaction between people and the non-human environment, as well as who bears the impacts and the responsibility for environmental problems. My applied goal is to help prevent environmental degradation and its differential impacts on the less powerful sectors of society. Towards these purposes I use the tools of Anthropology together with those of disciplines such as Ecology and Ecological Economics.

AAA Statement on Ethnography and Institutional Review Boards
Ethnography and Institutional Review Boards
Universities and research organizations in the US are required to follow a set of regulations known as "the Common Rule" (technically, "Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects," DHHS' 45 CFR 46 or the equivalent regulations for other federal agencies) when they receive federal support. The Common Rule specifies how Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) are to function. This statement aims to interpret for policymakers, IRBs and ethnographers the Common Rule in its application to ethnographic research.
The American Anthropological Association (AAA) advocates that all ethnographic researchers should cultivate a strong foundation for the ethical conduct of research with human populations. This means that the risks of harm must be considered in relation to the potential benefits of ethnographic research. This process should actively involve the researcher and the IRB, the researcher and participants, and finally the IRB, the researcher and stakeholders.
Cultivating an ethical climate for ethnographic research requires trust among all involved in the process of implementing a research project. Because the ethnographer often resides in the participants' community or geographical area and participates in community life, trust develops between the ethnographer and participants as a result of ongoing relationships. In some cases, ethnographers return to the same community or area over time, for instance over 20 years or more. Therefore IRBs should view informed consent in this context as an ongoing and dynamic process.

Sharing knowledge: how the internet is fueling change in anthropology « another anthro blog
This presentation serves as the basis for my main thesis proposal. I’ve run it by two classes so far, and since I’ve been talking so much about blogging and sharing knowledge, I’ll just get this out of the way and start sharing myself.
It weaves together numerous debates I’ve found interesting in class readings, and in debates being held in the blogsphere. It doesn’t yet deal with how I’m going to add to this topic with ethnographic research, but it develops what I think makes for an interesting theoretical background to look at online anthropology.
Women who Become Men: Albanian Sworn ... - Búsqueda de libros de Google
Most people conceive of gender as a culturally informed response to a biological imperative. But such rigid notions are overturned by certain women in remote regions of Albania who elect to 'become' men simply for the advantages that accrue to them as a result. They crop their hair, wear men's clothes, roll their own cigarettes, drink brandy and carry guns. In short, their lives are much freer and less regimented than other members of their sex - but at a cost. These women must foreswear sexual relationships, marriage and children. They have been dubbed 'Sworn Virgins'.What is interesting is that in this region of the Balkans, simply to dress as a man and to behave as a man will earn these women the same respect accorded a man. This is no mean advantage in an area known for sexual inequality and where so many men have suffered violent, premature deaths, thereby heightening the need for more household heads. Traditionally as heads of household, men are revered and the women who attend them utterly subservient. But unlike 'normal' women, Sworn Virgins can inherit and manage property, and, in fact, may even be raised to assume the male role by parents who have no male heirs.Based on extensive interviews, this book tells the frank and engrossing stories of these women, but also sets their lives within the wider context of a country undergoing radical upheaval and social transformation.
Fewer Albanian women become men « Culture Matters
Current and former students and staff of the Department of Anthropology at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, write about the emergent trends in anthropology. In particular we are interested in discussing the ways in which the methods and insights of anthropology are being 'applied' in various settings, both within and beyond the academy.
