The relationship between anthropology departments and their surrounding urban communities has been traditional limited by a number of factors. The Potential for Anthropology and Urban Community Engagement pushes past these limitations, developing a firm foundation from which applied anthropology can support grassroots research and lasting community programs. Using two partnering Milwaukee organizations as examples, this volume explores the need in urban neighborhoods for practicing anthropologists, how a high volume of asset-building programs can be developed by practicing anthropologists, and the potential efficacy of anthropology departments in partnering with urban neighborhoods.

Jill Florence Lackey is the principal investigator of Urban Anthropology, Inc., a position she has held since 1998. She was also the principal consultant at Jill Florence Lackey & Lackey Associates, beginning in the early 1990s. She taught anthropology at Marquette University for 12 years. Among her publications are articles in peer-reviewed journals and seven book, including American Ethnic Practices in the Twenty-first Century: The Milwaukee Study (Lexington Books, 2013).
