Academic Year End Message from the Department

Head, Dr. Alexia Bloch

UBC DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY NEWSLETTER

anthropology

As we wrap up this academic year and look toward the next I am inspired by the

resilience, resourcefulness and sense of community among faculty, students, & staff in

the Department of Anthropology. Our year was defined by the familiar rhythm of

academic rituals and annual professional events. The year began with a transition of

Headship in the Department. November brought the joint CASCA-AAA meetings to

our city for the first time and with these we had a chance to showcase Vancouver,

UBC, and our Department. Early in the year we also bid farewell to Prof. Pokotylo as he retired from the

University after 40 years. Now, as the year concludes, we say goodbye to three more colleagues who

are retiring after decades of service, teaching, and research; Profs. Shaw, Barker, and Blake have been

integral to UBC’s intellectual community. We look forward to marking our colleagues’ rites of passage

and celebrating their contributions face-to-face, hopefully in spring 2021.

Just as the academic year was winding down our classroom learning, research, and broader intellectual

pursuits were thrown into disarray. In mid-March with the onset of a global pandemic of Covid-19, UBC,

like institutions of higher education across the world, turned to online teaching. This “pivot” in such a short

time on the part of faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students was truly heroic. The university

announced the switch on a Friday afternoon, and by the following Monday we had all moved into a

new virtual reality. Faculty and students valiantly worked out ways to wrap up the remaining weeks of

the term, even as many struggled with working from home. B.C. Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry’s

no nonsense dictum, “Be kind, be calm, be safe” became an essential daily cadence.

Even as we became more adept with teaching, holding meetings, and celebrating our graduates on-

line, we also came together to consider how the Department can meaningfully engage with the

movement to decry police violence and systemic racism perpetrated against Blacks, Indigenous

peoples, and other racialized groups across North America and beyond. As we look toward 2020-2021,

we are committed to expanding departmental initiatives in teaching, research, and public scholarship

to address questions of injustice and racialized inequalities.

We are fortunate to be joined in these endeavors by three new colleagues. Prof. Hugh Gusterson, a

dedicated public intellectual with expertise in the culture of militarism and science and technology

studies, comes to the Department from George Washington University. Prof. Tracey Heatherington joins

us from the University of Wisconsin, bringing her deep knowledge of environmental anthropology and

her wealth of expertise on the Mediterranean. And Dr. Amirpouyan Shiva, a recent graduate of the

University of Minnesota, and an expert on the Persian blogosphere, takes up an appointment as a

Lecturer.

Finally, I wish to congratulate students, staff, and faculty on all your accomplishments this past year. I

wish you well as you recharge over the summer months, pursue research, or begin preparing for the

coming academic year.

First Ever Virtual graduation ceremony for the Anthropology Department (MAs, PhDs, BAs,

Majors, and Honours)

The Anthropology Department is

pleased to congratulate the Class of

2020 on its achievements. Despite an

unprecedented pandemic, UBC

students adapted quickly to the

necessary educational changes

required to ensure the safety of

physical distancing and self-isolation

while completing their studies.

The UBC Anthropology Department

celebrated its first-ever virtual

graduation ceremony Wednesday,

June 17, 2020, in an effort to

recognize graduates for their

accomplishments.

Over 165 Anthropology students,

faculty, staff, parents, friends and

family members joined from around

the globe for the virtual graduation.

ANTH News From The Field

COVID-19 and my field research in the Rohingya Refugee Camps: Field notes from Cox’s Bazar.

By Sultan Ahmed, Ph.D. Candidate

respondents via telephone, Skype or Zoom. Over the last 3 weeks, I have observed many

changes in the aid work. One important change was that most aid agencies have reduced

the number of aid workers and frequency of their visits to the camps. Aid workers now visit

the camps mostly to deliver the most essential aid commodities such as food, fuels, medicine,

etc. but for other camp- based intervention, they use local and Rohingya volunteers to do

work for them in the camps. Overall, the coronavirus has greatly impacted the lives of aid

workers and the Rohingya refugees in the camps.

Until today, no COVID-19 cases have been reported among the Rohingya refugees. This does

not mean that the Rohingya refugees are not infected or affected by the pandemic. It simply

means the circovirus testing facilities are still not available for the Rohingya. Even for the host

population, this testing facility has only recently been established in the government hospital

in Cox’s Bazar, about 25-40 km from the camps. Many health experts urged government and

aid agencies to take immediate action to set up medical and isolation facilities for the

Rohingya camps but this has yet to happen. I have seen both local and international media

publishing alarming news and views on this. The World Health Organization (WHO) and UNHCR,

the UN Refugee organization, have already conducted a situation assessment indicating the

Rohingya refugees as a vulnerable group, and organizations have launched an appeal for

immediate funding.

I am doing my Ph.D. research

on humanitarian aid agencies

working in Cox’s Bazar, a district

in southeastern Bangladesh

which is now hosting one million

Rohingya refugees. I started my

fieldwork five months ago. I

have been busy collecting

data in Dhaka, Cox’s Bazar,

and the Rohingya camps. The

COVID-19 outbreak has put a

sudden pause on my fieldwork

in Cox’s Bazar, as I am now

back in Dhaka, the capital of

Bangladesh, observing the field

situation and interviewing

‘How are you?’ Maintaining wellness during a

pandemic...

Sending a couple pics from life in Nunavut during the pandemic. My family and I are waiting

the surge out from up North where luckily there are no confirmed cases so far. I’m working on

writing my thesis and getting out on the land when the weather is nice.

Millie Creighton - - From Wisteria

Growing to Dragon Boating

Beyond simply providing leisure

engagements, many interests and

activities people pursue help inspire

them in their work, relations, and

other arenas. Some pursuits I

engage in are wisteria growing and

dragon boating. I have trained a

purple wisteria along one complete

side of my house, and used a cutting

from it to grow another purple one

across the reverse side of the house

that meets and mingles with a white

wisteria coming to greet it from the

other side. The house was christened

at one of the Fuji-kai (wisteria

viewing gatherings), Millie-sensei no

Fuji no i.e. (Prof. Millie's wisteria

house). I include a photo from a

previous year's blooming.

By Eleanore Asuncion - - Virtual Support

It doesn’t matter where we are or what the situation is.

Life goes on... and our work continues. Anth support staff meet regularly with the Head and

discuss how we can assist you, including with virtual department meetings, trainings and

workshops, and appointments.
