Ethics Bowl 2013 - Final Call for Teams! The Society for American Archaeology's Committee on Ethics is pleased to announce the Tenth Annual Ethics Bowl! Graduate and undergraduate students are invited to organize a team of 3 to 5 participants (+1 alternate) with a faculty mentor to take part in the event at the SAA 78th Annual Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii on April 4, 2013. Students and faculty mentors are encouraged to form collaborative teams across universities. Each year, hypothetical cases that describe archaeological dilemmas are used in the debate-style competition of the SAA Ethics Bowl to explore the ethics of archaeological practice. Students may draw upon personal experience, historical examples existing codes of ethics, scholarly publications, and current events to identify, explicate, and generate creative solutions to a range of ethical problems and issues that archaeologists might encounter. Our NEW REGISTRATION DEADLINE for teams is January 28, 2013!! To register, send an email to the organizing committee with the names and email addresses of the 3-5 members of your team and your faculty mentor. Please designate a chief contact person (team member or faculty mentor) to receive emails and instructions on behalf of the team. Please also note: this year the number of participating teams is limited to eight (8), due to space and time constraints at the annual meeting. The eight teams who will participate will be chosen from among all registered teams by lottery on January 29, 2013. Teams not chosen will be placed on a “wait-list” and will be allowed to participate if a team has to remove itself from competition. We are working toward increasing participation at this year’s meeting; additional teams may be added if space and time allow. Read more about the Ethics Bowl and download Rules and Procedures as well as the 2004-2012 case studies at: http://saa.org/AbouttheSociety/AnnualMeeting/EthicsBowl/tabid/193/Default.aspx. We encourage faculty to include the Ethics Bowl cases as an integral part of your spring or winter term archaeology courses or activities. Case studies from previous years make wonderful tools for teaching or materials for team practice sessions in preparation for the actual Ethics Bowl!
