<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The University
of Waterloo’s Department of Anthropology and the Faculty of Arts presents
a guest lecture by Dr. David Price, Professor of Anthropology, St.
Martin’s University, Washington entitled <i>“Anthropology and Counterinsurgency:
the problems of harnessing Anthropology for counterinsurgent conquests” </i> on
Thursday, March 18, 2010, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the Arts Language Building, AL
Room 113.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Price uses archival sources, interviews and documents released under the
Freedom of Information Act to critically examine historical and present
interactions between U.S. military and intelligence agencies and
anthropologists. While the Obama administration and U.S. military
strategists are calling for increased reliance on anthropologically informed
counterinsurgency programs to achieve a military victory in Afghanistan,
historically, military victories relying on counterinsurgency have rarely been
accomplished. Price examines records from past and present uses of anthropologically
informed counterinsurgency operations to consider the historical, theoretical,
political and ethical problems enmeshed in trying to use counterinsurgency for
military conquest, and considers the likelihood that by the time a military
relies on counterinsurgency for victory in a foreign war, it has already lost.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
