Congratulations to Professors Pankaj Jain, George James, and Alicia Re Cruz (UNT's Anthropology Dept) for winning the Wenner Gren award for about $20000 to organize a workshop at the University of North Texas in July 2016. Rural activists and other community members, scholars from India, Mexico, the USA, and beyond will present their narratives related to the theory and praxis of community-based responses to major global, cultural, and environmental pressures. Objective is to advance in anthropological theory by a focus on non-Western ways of thinking, doing, and acting upon the repercussions of globalizing pressures in rural areas.
