Moderator: Bertin Louis, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Anthropology and African American & Africana Studies (AAAS) at the University of Kentucky and served as the inaugural Director of Undergraduate Studies for AAAS (2019-2021) Although anthropology is often perceived primarily as an academic discipline, Black anthropologists have had a more complex relationship with the discipline--and with the ivory tower more generally. Anthropologists like Zora Neale Hurston, Katherine Dunham, and others, who were always already part of the communities in which they did their research, recognized that while anthropologists often had contentious relationships with their communities, the discipline offered a set of analytical tools which--in the right hands, and in the right context--were invaluable for parsing issues that touched their communities, including race, racism and the construction of Blackness, health and educational disparities, and equitable access to material and cultural resources. The legacy of black professional anthropologists working outside of academia spans many decades, and many sectors. Today, hundreds of anthropologists hold full-time positions that allow them to apply their expertise in governmental agencies, nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations, private corporations and international bodies. These anthropologists recognize that they hold critical tools for problem solving and addressing social justice issues. In recognition of the deep legacy of applied anthropology among members of the Association of Black Anthropologists, this roundtable discusses the varied paths that our panelists--members of the ABA--took to becoming practicing anthropologists, and the breadth of types of work they do. Panelists discuss how their identity as Black anthropologists has shaped their career choices, perspectives, experiences, and analyses.
