PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY TO STUDENT LISTS:
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Anthropology News – NASA Section
The National Association of Student Anthropologists (NASA), the student
section of the American Anthropological Association, is issuing a call
for submissions for its Anthropology News column.
Background
The National Association of Student Anthropologists was founded in 1985
to address graduate and undergraduate student concerns and to promote
the interests and involvement of students as
anthropologists-in-training. Each month during the academic year, NASA
publishes a short column in Anthropology News that focuses on issues of
interest and importance to student anthropologists. Anthropology News
(AN) is the world’s most widely distributed anthropological publication.
Topics
NASA welcomes submissions for its monthly column in the form of
articles, essays, creative writing, teaching material, or book reviews.
Possible topics for submission include:
* Views on current and/or controversial issues in anthropology. (e.g.
How does the ethics review process (IRB) affect student training and
research? What types of constructive relationships might be forged
between US anthropology students and anthropology students outside the US?)
* Comparative reflections from students who have studied anthropology
outside of the United States and at American institutions
* Opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of student training at the
undergraduate and graduate levels. (e.g. What adjustments might
departments make to better train their undergraduates for graduate
school and/or better train their graduate students for field work,
teaching, and entering the job market?)
* Insights or advice on the challenges and realities of being an
anthropology student. (e.g. finding a mentor, applying to graduate
school, student teaching, grant writing, publishing, conference
participation, paper presentations, fieldwork, writing the thesis or
dissertation)
* Reviews of recently published books or films (or other media) that
address topics of interest to student anthropologists.
* Opportunities for students, such as internships, funding, or training
programs (e.g. in research methodologies)
Guidelines
If you are interested in contributing, please contact Jenny Chio
([log in to unmask]) with a 50-100 word abstract. If your article
is accepted for NASA’s column, you will be notified by email and sent a
style guide to help you prepare your submission. Submissions should be
of general interest to student anthropologists and should not exceed 675
words. The deadline is rolling, as the column is published throughout
the academic year. We’d also welcome your suggestions on other topics
to address in the NASA column.
We want to hear from you!
