****************************************************** * http://www.anthropologymatters.com * * A postgraduate project comprising online journal, * * online discussions, teaching and research resources * * and international contacts directory. * ****************************************************** Dear recent and current anthropology postgraduates, Most of you will know of Anthropology Matters as the section of the ASA run by and for postgraduate anthropologists. On top of our peer-review journal and mailing list, Anthropology Matters is currently developing a web-resource for postgraduates in anthropology with the support of C-SAP and the ASA. The website will provide a resource for postgraduates that deals with matters often falling outside the remit of training programmes, such as personal issues and well-being during fieldwork, the writing process, professional development, pedagogy and advice on pursuing careers within and outside academia. This responds to the very positive response we have had to recent journal issues that dealt with the more personal side of conducting anthropological research, in addition to C-SAP’s concern with teaching and learning and the ASA’s ongoing concern with engaging postgraduates. We are also working with C-SAP on moving some of the material on teaching anthropology from their website to the Anthropology Matters resource when C-SAP shuts down next year. As part of the initiative we are looking for informal and brief contributions for the website from current postgraduate students and recent graduates of postgraduate programmes in anthropology about their experiences during and after postgraduate study. The themes that we would like your help with are outlined in the attached questionnaire. Your submission will be treated confidentially. Please email all responses to: [log in to unmask] by 11 March 2011. We look forward to hearing from you!
