Researchers and Students from the Institute for Public Anthropology presented a number of our latest research projects at the 2012 annual meeting of the Southwestern Anthropological Association (SWAA) held on the campus of California State Universtiy, Chico. SWAA 2012 showcased IPA research projects on a number of different panles. The papers represent the important work being conducted at the IPA, a research center at the Fresno State that uses applied ethnographic methods to address issues of public concern.
