Hi Sajjad,
This is a good idea to celebrate 40 years of anthropology in Pakistan. This
event will uplift the status of anthropology in Pakistan. See blow a
possible funding opprtunity, which is not much but could possibly help
to organise a session on 'engaged anthropology'. Further, we could contact
the Wenner-Green Foundation http://www.wennergren.org/, that might help to
organise such a conference.
Best wishes, Sadiq
Dear network members,
Anthropology in Action has a small sum of money saved which we would like
to use to support events and activities relevant to our aims. If you are
interested in organizing a relevant event or seminar, please contact us
with an outline proposal. We encourage you to think creatively about what
'anthropology in action' means and the sorts of participants that could be
involved - for example, events could be mixed media and include
participants who engage with anthropology but are not necessarily
anthropologists.
Proposals will be considered by the editorial board of Anthropology in
Action and the ASA Apply network convenors on the following basis:
- The event is relevant to our aims and remit, with a focus on
'engaged' anthropology
- The organisers will submit an event report to the journal for the
issue following the event, in a format agreed with the editorial board.
- The geographical location is open
- The upper limit of funds to be applied for will be £300. A budget
should be submitted to show how the money applied for will be spent.
The proposal must explain how the event will generate an article or special
issue for the journal.
