Anthropology Student Experience CFP

Anthropology News is seeking contributions for an upcoming thematic issue on the anthropology student experience to be published in fall 2008. Students, educators and practitioners are encouraged to participate. Thematic In Focus commentary series will address (1) university-community partnerships and interactions and (2) the diverse character of anthropology graduate programs. We also encourage proposals related to this general theme for articles in other sections of AN, such as Field Notes or Teaching Strategies articles or news features.

March 2008: Online Engagement

The March 2008 issue of Anthropology News features an In Focus thematic commentary series titled "Online Engagement." Online forums for social engagement and information exchange have emerged as dynamic sites of anthropological research in recent years. Contributors to this In Focus commentary series examine, from diverse perspectives, how different populations initiate and manage relationships through everyday and emergent information and communication technologies, sharing business, scholarly and personal information.

Full-text series articles are available on the AAA website.

Are you doing research in an area related to online engagement? What role does the Internet play in your work? Are you a member of a professional or recreational online community? We welcome your comments!

February 2008: Open Access

The current issue of Anthropology News features an In Focus series on Open Access.

To facilitate this discussion, full-text series articles will be available on the AAA website Feb 1–March 1, after which all five articles will be archived at AnthroSource and AN Archives.
