New Student-Faculty Workshops at the AAA
The Society for Cultural Anthropology is pleased to announce a new program for graduate students at this year's AAA. The Society is sponsoring five faculty-student workshop luncheons intended to provide an informal setting where students can discuss their work with faculty members from other universities. A list of the workshops appears below. Following this year's initial program, we hope to be able to annually recruit a range of faculty connected with SCA to take part.
The luncheon workshops are limited to six students each, and they take place in restaurants near the conference hotel. The workshops are free to all participants and open to SCA student members at all levels of graduate training. Lunch is provided.
All workshops run from 12:15 to 1:30 to match the AAA's programmed lunch sessions.
To join one of these workshops, please submit a one-page description of no more than 250 words about your research project. Participants are encouraged to include within the description specific questions about the project for the workshop leader or leaders and for the group as a whole to consider.
Applications will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis noting that:
1. the project descriptions are closely suited to the workshop themes;
2. students and workshop leaders are from different institutions; and
3. you are a member of the SCA. If you are not yet a member of the SCA, but would like to join at the modest student rate of $21 a year, which includes a full print subscription to the journal, Cultural Anthropology, you can do so easily on our website: http://sca.culanth.org/join/join.htm
Please send your request to SCA's Student Representative, Mary Murrell (UC Berkeley) at SCAWorkshop2008@gmail.com. Include your name, your university affiliation, the workshop you want to attend, and your one page-description. Please bear in mind that project descriptions longer than 250 words will not be considered.
Formal notice of participation will be sent out on November 3.
