ANTHROPOLOGY COLLOQUIUM SERIES SPRING SEMESTER 2005
February 24, 3:00pm - 4:30pmMānoa Campus, Crawford Hall 115
Speaker: Bob Schacht. Because they were close at hand, American Indians with disabilities and their communities were one of the crucibles in which anthropological ideas about disability were formed. At the same time, ideas about disabilities in legislation and regulation have changed public discourse about disability, from the "cripples" and "idiots" of 100 years ago, through "the handicapped" to the Americans with Disabilities Act, and "people first" terminology, and the idea that an environment can be handicapping.
Bob Schacht discovered Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin, and then specialized in Archaeology at the University of Michigan, doing fieldwork in the Middle East, as well as in Arizona. He taught Anthropology for over 10 years at undergraduate and graduate levels, and then became an applied/medical anthropologist, conducting disability research for the Federally-funded American Indian Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) at Northern Arizona University (1988-2003). He presently works for the Pacific Basin RRTC.
