DESCRIPTION:Adia Benton\,&nbsp\;Assistant Professor of Anthropology\, Brown
  University"But\, really\, what's the prevalence?" Innumerable subjects in
  gender-based violence research Anthropologists have become increasingly i
 nvested in understanding the intentions and effects of quantitative resear
 ch practices--particularly those that entail using field surveys for data 
 collection. Fundamentally\, their aim has been to demonstrate that product
 s of survey research\, while commonly portrayed as neutral and objective\,
  entail and produce classifications that are often highly political and po
 liticized\, socially constructed\, and malleable to a range of cultural an
 d economic realities. Drawing on my experience coordinating a gender-based
  violence prevalence survey in Sierra Leone in 2003-4\, I suggest that rec
 ent ethnographic portrayals of surveys--with their foci on the high-level 
 meetings where variables and indicators are debated\, and an ‘on the groun
 d’ perspective of the subjective experience of the ‘classified’--maybe mis
 sing crucial sites for mapping and interpreting enumerative practices and 
 their effects.Adia Benton PhD (Harvard)\, MPH (Emory) is a medical anthrop
 ologist with interests in political and legal anthropology and science and
  technology studies. She has conducted research in Sierra Leone\, Nigeria\
 , Kenya and Mozambique. Refreshments will be served.Sponsored by the Maxwe
