About Me:
I am a cultural anthropologist specializing in the political economy of natural resource management, economic development, and indigenous peoples in Latin America (political ecology). I am particularly interested in tropical forest management and development. As an applied anthropologist, I am interested in addressing issues of sustainable development through program and project evaluation and policy analysis and recommendation.

If you are around on Wednesday of the 2008 SfAA meetings, please consider coming to this session, an open forum organized on behalf of the Public Policy committee, to participate and help support the cause of education in public policy engagement.

Heritage II
Open Forum on Uses of Language in Public Policy
CHAIR: HEYMAN, Josiah (U Texas-El Paso)
The focus will be the ways that formal, policy oriented language articulates with communities, scholars, and other language communities in the policy process (that is, it is not a forum on the policy of language, but the language of policy).
See you in Memphis,
Joe Heyman
